The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-7

Going down into Egypt. The prophet of Jehovah utters another "woe," he denounces another sin; for the people of the Lord, in the day of their difficulty, have looked, not to their Divine Redeemer, but to that arm of flesh in which they should not have trusted, and by which they will be abandoned. We see— I. THEIR SIN . It is threefold. 1. Desertion of God . They take counsel, but not now of God, as in better days ( Joshua 7:6 ; 20:27 ; 1 Samuel 23:2 ; 1 Samuel 30:8 );... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:4

His princes were at Zoan . "Zoan" is undoubtedly Tanis, which is now "San," a heap of ruins in the Delta, where some interesting remains of the shepherd-kings have been discovered. It was a favorite capital of the monarchs of the nineteenth dynasty, and seems to have been the scene of the struggle between Moses and the Pharaoh of the Exodus ( Psalms 78:12 , Psalms 78:43 ). It then declined, but is said to have been the birthplace of the first king of the twenty-first dynasty. In the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:5

They were all ashamed ; rather, all are ashamed . The reference is not to the ambassadors, who felt no shame in their embassy, and probably returned elated by the promises made them; but to the subsequent feelings of the Jewish nation, when it was discovered by sad experience that no reliance was to be placed on "the strength of Pharaoh." A people that could not profit them . Mr. Cheyne compares, very pertinently, an inscription of Sargon's, where he says of the people of Philistia,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:6

Burden of the beasts of the south . Delitzsch thinks that the Egyptians are intended by the "beasts of the south"—the expression pointing primarily to the hippopotamus, which was an apt emblem of the slow-moving Egyptians. But most commentators regard the "beasts" of this clause as equivalent to the " young asses and camels" mentioned towards the end of the verse. (On the sense of the word "burden," see the introductory paragraph to Isaiah 13:1-22 .) Into the land of trouble and anguish... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:4

For his princes - The sense of this verse seems to be this. The prophet is stating the fact that the Jews would be ashamed of their attempted alliance with Egypt. In this verse, and the following, he states the manner in which they would be made sensible of their folly in seeking this alliance. He therefore enumerates several circumstances in regard to the manner in which the alliance had been sought, and the disappointment that would follow after all their vain confidence. He therefore states... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:5

They were all ashamed - That is, all the legates or ambassadors. When they came into Egypt, they found them either unwilling to enter into an alliance, or unable to render them any aid, and they were ashamed that they had sought their assistance rather than depend on God (compare Jeremiah 2:36). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:6

The burden of the beasts of the south - The word ‘south’ here refers doubtless to the country to the south of Judea; and particularly to Egypt. Thus it is used in Daniel 11:5-6. The phrase ‘beasts of the south,’ here refers to the animals that were traveling to Egypt. Isaiah, in vision, sees the caravan heavily laden with treasures pursuing a southern direction on its way to Egypt. The word ‘burden’ is used in two senses, to denote that which is borne, a heavy burden; or an oracle, a solemn... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 30:1-5

Isaiah 30:1-5. Wo to the rebellious children The Jews, who called themselves God’s children, though they were rebellious ones, as was said Isaiah 1:2. That take counsel That consult together, and resolve what to do; but not of me Not following nor asking my advice, which I encouraged and commanded them to do. And cover with a covering Seek protection; but not of my Spirit Not such as by my Spirit, speaking in my word, I have directed and required them to seek; that they may add sin... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 30:6-7

Isaiah 30:6-7. The burden of the beasts of the south The burden of riches or treasures, carried upon beasts travelling southward. In these verses the prophet has before his eyes “the ambassadors of the Jews, or, as some think, also of Hosea, and the Ephraimites, (see 2 Kings 17:4,) bearing their splendid and sumptuous presents on asses and camels into Egypt; and perceiving that they would reap no advantage from this proud and sumptuous embassy, and that the whole would be fruitless, or... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-33

The folly of relying on Egypt (30:1-33)All Isaiah’s warnings against an alliance with Egypt are in vain. As he learns that a group of Judean representatives is on its way to Egypt, he points out again how disastrous this alliance will prove to be. Judah’s reliance on Egypt is against God’s will and in the end will bring only disgrace upon Judah (30:1-5).Isaiah pictures the dangerous journey, as a caravan of donkeys and camels carry Judah’s payment through the dry southern region of Judah... read more
