Gill's Notes on the Bible
And what will ye do in the day of visitation,.... Not in a way of grace and mercy, but of wrath and anger, as the following clause explains it, when God should come and punish them for their sins; and so the Targum,
"what will ye do in the day that your sins shall be visited upon you?''
it designs the Babylonish captivity, as the next words show; the same phrase is used of the destruction of the Jews by the Romans,
Luke 19:44:
and in the desolation [which] shall come from far? from Assyria, which was distant from the land of Judea: the word h for "desolation" signifies a storm, tumult, noise, and confusion; referring to what would be made by the Assyrian army, when it came upon them:
to whom will ye flee for help? Rezin king of Syria, their confederate, being destroyed; and Syria, with whom they were in alliance, now become their enemy, see Isaiah 9:11:
and where will ye leave your glory? either their high titles, and ensigns of honour, as princes, judges, and civil magistrates, which they should be stripped of; or rather their mammon, as Aben Ezra interprets it, their unrighteous mammon, which they got by perverting the judgment of the poor and needy, the widow and the fatherless, of which they gloried; and which now would be taken away from them, when they should go into captivity.
h לשואה "sub procella, quae a longinquo veniet", Cocceius; so the Targum renders it, "in tumult of tribulation".
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And what will ye do - The prophet here proceeds to denounce the judgment, or punishment, that would follow the crimes specified in the previous verses. That punishment was the invasion of the land by a foreign force. ‘What will ye do? To whom will you fly? What refuge will them be?’ Implying that the calamity would be so great that there would be no refuge, or escape.
In the day of visitation - The word “visitation” (פקדה peqûddâh) is used here in the sense of God’s coming to punish them for their sins; compare Job 31:14; Job 35:15; Isaiah 26:14; Ezekiel 9:1. The idea is probably derived from that of a master of a family who comes to take account, or to investigate the conduct of his servants, and where the visitation, therefore, is one of reckoning and justice. So the idea is applied to God as designing to visit the wicked; that is, to punish them for their offences; compare Hosea 9:7.
And in the desolation - The destruction, or overthrowing. The word used here - שׁואה shô'âh - usually denotes a storm, a tempest Proverbs 1:27; and then sudden destruction, or calamity, that sweeps along irresistibly like a tempest; Zephaniah 1:15; Job 30:3, Job 30:14; Psalms 35:8.
Which shall come from far - That is, from Assyria, Media, Babylonia. The sense is, ‘a furious storm of war is about to rage. To what refuge can you then flee? or where can you then find safety?’
Where will ye leave your glory - By the word “glory” here, some have understood the prophet as referring to their aged men, their princes and nobles, and as asking where they would find a safe place for them. But he probably means their “riches, wealth, magnificence.” Thus Psalms 49:17 :
For when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descebd after him.
See also Hosea 9:2; Isaiah 66:12. The word “leave” here, is used in the sense “of deposit,” or commit for safe keeping; compare Job 39:14. ‘In the time of the invasion that shall come up like a tempest on the land, where will you deposit your property so that it shall be safe?’
