The burden:
The first ten verses of this chapter contain a prediction of the taking of Babylon by the Medes and Persians; which is here denominated "the desert of the sea," because the country around it, and especially towards the sea, was a great morass, often overflowed by the Tigris and Euphrates, and only rendered habitable by being drained by a number of canals. "The burdenª of Babylon,ª which¹ Isaiahª the sonª of Amozª did see.ª °" {Isa 13:1} + "The burdenª of Damascus.ª Behold,¹ Damascusª is taken awayª ° from [being] a city,ª ¹ and it shall be¹ a ruinousª heap.ª" {Isa 17:1}

the desert:
"It shall neverª ¹ be inhabited,ª ° neither¹ shall it be dweltª ° in from generationª to¹ generation:ª neither¹ shall the Arabianª pitch tentª ° there;¹ neither¹ shall the shepherdsª ° make their foldª ° there.¹ ... And the wild beasts of the islandsª shall cryª ° in their desolate houses,ª and dragonsª in [their] pleasantª palaces:ª and her timeª [is] nearª to come,ª ° and her daysª shall not¹ be prolonged.ª °" {Isa 13:20-22} + "I will also makeª ° it a possessionª for the bittern,ª and poolsª of water:ª and I will sweepª ° it with the besomª of destruction,ª ° saithª ° the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Isa 14:23} + "The seaª is come upª ° upon¹ Babylon:ª she is coveredª ° with the multitudeª of the wavesª thereof." {Jer 51:42}

As whirlwinds:
"Out of¹ the southª comethª ° the whirlwind:ª and coldª out of the north.ª ¹" {Job 37:9} + "And at the timeª of the endª shall the kingª of the southª pushª ° at¹ him: and the kingª of the northª shall come against him like a whirlwind,ª °¹ with chariots,ª and with horsemen,ª and with manyª ships;ª and he shall enterª ° into the countries,ª and shall overflowª ° and pass over.ª °" {Dan 11:40} + "And the LORDª shall be seenª ° over¹ them, and his arrowª shall go forthª ° as the lightning:ª and the Lordª GODª shall blowª ° the trumpet,ª and shall goª ° with whirlwindsª of the south.ª" {Zch 9:14}

from:
"The noiseª of a multitudeª in the mountains,ª like¹ as² of a greatª people;ª a tumultuousª noiseª of the kingdomsª of nationsª gathered together:ª ° the LORDª of hostsª musterethª ° the hostª of the battle.ª ... They comeª ° from a far² country,ª ¹ ¹ from the endª ¹ of heaven,ª [even] the LORD,ª and the weaponsª of his indignation,ª to destroyª ° the whole¹ land.ª" {Isa 13:4-5} + "Behold,¹ I will stir upª °¹ the Medesª against¹ them, which¹ shall not¹ regardª ° silver;ª and [as for] gold,ª they shall not¹ delightª ° in it. ... [Their] bowsª also shall dashª ° the young menª to pieces;² ° and they shall have no¹ pityª ° on the fruitª of the womb;ª their eyeª shall not¹ spareª °¹ children.ª" {Isa 13:17-18} + "He¹ and his peopleª with¹ him, the terribleª of the nations,ª shall be broughtª ° to destroyª ° the land:ª and they shall drawª ° their swordsª against¹ Egypt,ª and fillª °¹ the landª with the slain.ª" {Ezk 30:11} + "And strangers,ª ° the terribleª of the nations,ª have cut him off,ª ° and have leftª ° him: upon¹ the mountainsª and in all¹ the valleysª his branchesª are fallen,ª ° and his boughsª are brokenª ° by all¹ the riversª of the land;ª and all¹ the peopleª of the earthª are gone downª ° from his shadow,ª ¹ and have leftª ° him." {Ezk 31:12}
