Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 1:28
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together,.... Of the beast and false prophet, of the followers of antichrist, the man of sin, who are transgressors of the law
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 1:28
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 1:28
And; or rather, but, as that particle is oft used; for here is a manifest opposition. The destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together; though I will deliver my people from the Babylonish captivity, yet those of them who shall still go on in their wickedness shall not have the benefit of that mercy, but are reserved for a more dreadful and total destruction.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 1:28
Isaiah 1:28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.Ver. 28. And the destruction.] Heb., The shivering or shattering. Tremellius rendereth it, the fragments or scraps - sc., of the dross above mentioned; these shall be broken and burnt together. Shall be together.] As well the sinners in Zion, or hypocrites, as the transgressors or notorious offenders, shall be destroyed without distinction. Such as "turn aside unto their crooked ways" - stealing their passage to hell, as it were - the Lord shall "lead them forth with the workers of iniquity," with openly profane persons. The angels also shall bundle them up together to be burnt.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 1:28
(28) Of the transgressors and of the sinners.—The first of the two words presents evil in its aspect of apostasy, the second in that of the open sin which may accompany the apostasy or exist without it.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 1:28
28. And the destruction … together] Better as an exclamation: But destruction of rebels and sinners together! Rebels, sinners, forsakers of Jehovah, as in Isaiah 1:2-4.

Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 1:28
28. Destruction… transgressors — Literally, there shall be a breaking, or entire crushing out, of apostates, revolters, deserters from Jehovah.
