“Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:”
King James Version (KJV)
31:11 Him - The proud king of Assyria, Sardanapalus. The mighty one - Arbaces, who first struck at the root of this Cedar, might well be styled the mighty one of the heathen, since he could bring together four hundred thousand of Medes, Persians, Babylonians, and Arabians.
31:12 Strangers - Foreigners.
31:14 To the end - All this is designed to be a warning to mortals. All the trees - The emperors, kings, or flourishing states. By the waters - Planted most commodiously, and furnished most abundantly with power and wealth. The children of men - As common men, of no quality or distinction.
31:15 He - The king of Assyria. A mourning - There was much lamentation. Fainted - Probably there were portentous signs in the sea, and great waters, and the rivers, and among the trees.
Upon his ruine shal all the foules of the heauen remaine, & all the beasts of the field shalbe vpon his branches,
