Barnes' Notes
Behold the Day of the Lord cometh - Literally, "a day cometh, the Lord' s," in which He Himself shall be Judge, and no longer leave man to fulfill his own will, and despise God' s; in which His glory and holiness and the righteousness of all His ways shall be revealed.
And thy spoil shall be in the midst of thee - Jerome: "How great will the strait be, that the spoils should be divided in the midst of her. It often happens that what, by a sudden assault, is plundered in the city, is divided in the field or in solitude, lest the enemy should come upon them. But now there will be such a heavy weight of ills, such will be the security of conquest, that the spoils shall be divided in the midst of the city."
