Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 14:5

14:4 Golden city - As they used to call themselves; which therefore he expresses here in a word of their own language.

14:6 Anger - With rigour and not with clemency. None - Neither the Babylonians themselves, nor their confederates.

14:7 The earth - The subjects of that vast empire, who groaned under their cruel bondage.
