Context — God’s Judgment on the Earth
12The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble.
13So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest.
14They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD.
15Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea. 16From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.” But I said, “I am wasting away! I am wasting away! Woe is me.” The treacherous betray; the treacherous deal in treachery.Cross References

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 24:14
They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea. They - those who are left after the persecutions of Antichrist; the remnant.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 24:14
They; the remnant preserved. For the majesty of the Lord; for his glorious power and goodness manifested in their deliverance. They shall cry aloud, in way of exultation and thanksgiving to God. From the sea; from the isles of the sea, as this is explained in the next verse; from those parts beyond the sea, into which they were carried captive, and in which they were miraculously preserved.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 24:14
Isaiah 24:14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.Ver. 14. They shall lift up their voice, &c.] Laudabunt Deum et laetabuntur: this elect remnant in all countries shall be filled with spiritual joy and peace through the belief of the truth, which shall vent itself by singing praises to God. And here we have the very mark of the true Church, which is to celebrate and profess the great and glorious name of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the majesty of the Lord.] Or, For the magnificence; that great work of his especially of divulging his gospel all the world over, and thereby gathering his Church out of all nations. They shall cry aloud from the sea,] i.e., From the islands and transmarine parts, as we do now from Great Britain - "thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift" - calling to our neighbour nations, and saying,
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 24:14
(14) They shall cry aloud from the sea . . .—The utterers of the praise are obviously the remnant of the saved, whether of the “Jews of the dispersion,” or of the Gentiles. To them there appears in the midst of the desolation, the vision of the glory of the Lord, and far off, from the sea (the Mediterranean, as the great sea of the ancient world) they raise their song of praise.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 24:14
Verse 14. They shall lift up their voice - "But these shall lift up their voice"] That is, they that escaped out of these calamities. The great distresses brought upon Israel and Judah drove the people away, and dispersed them all over the neighbouring countries: they fled to Egypt, to Asia Minor, to the islands and the coasts of Greece. They were to be found in great numbers in most of the principal cities of these countries. Alexandria was in a great measure peopled by them. They had synagogues for their worship in many places, and were greatly instrumental in propagating the knowledge of the true God among these heathen nations, and preparing them for the reception of Christianity. This is what the prophet seems to mean by the celebration of the name of JEHOVAH in the waters, in the distant coasts, and in the uttermost parts of the land. מים mayim, the waters; υδωρ, Sept.; υδατα, Theod.; not מים miyam from the sea.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 24:14
14–16. Already, indeed, the prophet can hear songs of praise ascending from distant parts of the earth, hailing the dawn of a better day; but he himself cannot share these enthusiastic hopes. It is not likely that this representation is purely ideal. Events must have occurred which excited the premature expectation of an immediate deliverance. It is difficult to conceive the historical situation which is presupposed. The most natural supposition will be that the singers referred to are Israelites of the Dispersion, who follow with sympathetic interest the development of some great crisis in the fortunes of the people of God, but whose vision is unable to perceive the darker signs of the times which are manifest to the prophet. A more exact determination of the circumstances must depend on the date which is found best to harmonise all the indications of the prophecy.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 24:14
They shall lift up their voice - They who are left in the land; or who are not carried away to Babylon.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 24:14
14. They shall lift up their voice — Here is another of Isaiah’s lightning-like transitions.
