以賽亞書 31:8 CUNPTS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 31:1-9

Egypt cannot save Judah (31:1-9)Isaiah again condemns the Judeans for relying on Egypt instead of on God. The Judeans think they are wise, but actually they are foolish. Real wisdom rests with God, and he knows best how to overthrow Assyria. As for Egypt, it will be defeated, and when it falls, Judah also will fall (31:1-3).Judah should learn to trust in God. A lion is not terrified by the shouts of shepherds, and God is not terrified by the threats of the Assyrians. He will protect Jerusalem... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 31:8-9

Isaiah 31:8-9. Then shall the Assyrian fall— The history of the Assyrian overthrow fully explains these verses. The meaning of the phrase, His young men shall be discomfited, is, that those of Sennacherib's soldiers who should escape in flight, should melt through fear in the way, and should be so dispersed and so distressed, that the greater part of them should perish. The first clause of the ninth verse should be read, And he shall pass by his strong-hold in a fright; that is, "Sennacherib... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 31:8

The immediate situation also called for Judah to repent. Since the Lord promised to defeat Assyria Himself, His people needed to get into a right relationship with Him. To say that the Assyrian young men would become forced laborers was to say that Assyria would herself be overcome. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 31:8

(8) Not of a mighty man . . .—The Hebrew has no adjectives, but the nouns are those which are commonly opposed to each other in this way, as in Isaiah 2:9, like the Latin vir and homo. The thought expressed is, of course, that the whole work would be of God, and not of man. The “sword” was that of the Divine judgment (Deuteronomy 32:41), perhaps, as in 1 Chronicles 21:16, of the destroying angel of the pestilence. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 31:1-9

CHAPTER XIVTHREE TRUTHS ABOUT GODABOUT 702 B.C.Isaiah 31:1-9CHAPTER 31, which forms an appendage to chapters 29 and 30, can scarcely be reckoned among the more important prophecies of Isaiah. It is a repetition of the principles which the prophet has already proclaimed in connection with the faithless intrigues of Judah for an alliance with Egypt, and it was published at a time when the statesmen of Judah were further involved in these intrigues, when events were moving faster, and the prophet... read more
