The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 24:22

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

In the pit; literally, in a dungeon. Mr. Cheyne suggests that sheol, or "hell," is meant; but the context points to some narrower confinement. In the prison; rather, in prison. After many days. In the Revelation (Revelation 20:2) Satan is bound "a thousand years;" i.

e. an indefinite term. The imprisonment of the present passage is scarcely the same, but it is analogous. God's purposes require sometimes long periods of inaction. Shall they be visited; or, published.

The word is the same as that translated "punish" in verse 21. "Visiting" for good is scarcely to be thought of.
