"Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame,.... Of their shameful wishes, words, and actions, as they were: their habitations in Jerusalem were desolate, and so was their
house or temple there, and their whole land, and they themselves were stripped of everything, when Jerusalem was taken and destroyed; see Mat 23:38 , Act 1:20 ; that say unto me, Aha, aha; words expressive of joy, Psa 35:21 , exulting at his miseries and sufferings on the cross, Mat 27:39 ; so the Targum, "we have rejoiced at his destruction, with joy at his affliction.''
