Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 13:14

"And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land." — Isaiah 13:14 (ASV)

And it shall be as the chased roe. — Better, as with a chased roe ... . as with sheep ... The roe and the sheep represent the “mixed multitude” (Aesch., Pers. 52) of all nations who had been carried into Babylon, and who would naturally take to flight, some, though without a leader, returning to their own lands on the approach of the invader.
