Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 9:20

9:18 Burneth - Shall burn you, as it follows, shall devour. Thorns - The low and mean persons; for these are opposed to the thickets of the forest, in the next clause. Forest - In the wood, where the trees are tall, and stand thick, having their bows entangled together, which makes them more ready both to catch and to spread the fire. Smoak - Sending up smoak like a vast furnace.

9:21 Manasseh - Though more near and dear to one another than any other tribe, being both sons of Joseph.
