Isaiah 26:21

For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place -That is, from heaven, which is the dwelling-place or residence of GodPsalms 115:3;Ezekiel 3:12;Micah 1:3. When God executes vengeance, he is represented as coming from his abode, his dwelling-place, his capitol, as a monarch goes forth to war to destroy his foes. To punish the inhabitants of the earth -The land of Chaldea, or of Babylon. The earth also shall disclose her blood -Blood, in the Scriptures, often denotes “guilt.” The sense here is, that the land of Chaldea would reveal its guilt; that is, the punishment which God would inflict would be a revelation of the crimes of the nation.
