Isaiah 3:25
"Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Thy men shall fall by the sword,.... Of the Romans; which would be a punishment to the women for their pride and luxury, being deprived thereby of their husbands: and

thy mighty in the war; of Vespasian and Titus, and which the Jews (i) call , "the war of Vespasian": in which great multitudes of men, even of mighty men, were slain. (i) Misn. Sabbat, c. 6. sect. 3.
