以賽亞書 19:17 RCUVTS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 19:1-25

Divine Action Isaiah 19:0 We seem to have fallen upon commonplace times, unless indeed we have the prophetic instinct and imagination which can turn even apparent commonplaces into things really grand and spiritually significant. What great winds roar through these prophecies of Isaiah! what startling judgments fall upon the nations! what trumpetings and thunderings! what rendings and revolutions! and yet we seem to be standing in quietness and peace, and nothing is occurring around us which... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 19:11-17

In these verses the subject of lamentation is carried on, under various descriptions, and all corresponding to denote the burden of Egypt. Their senators and wise men became unable to guide the helm of public affairs. Egypt was remarkable for learning; for Moses, we are told, was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. But now the whole nation is sunk into ignorance. And the cause is from the Lord; for it is said that the Lord had mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof. And so great... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 19:1-17

1-17 God shall come into Egypt with his judgments. He will raise up the causes of their destruction from among themselves. When ungodly men escape danger, they are apt to think themselves secure; but evil pursues sinners, and will speedily overtake them, except they repent. The Egyptians will be given over into the hand of one who shall rule them with rigour, as was shortly after fulfilled. The Egyptians were renowned for wisdom and science; yet the Lord would give them up to their own perverse... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 19:16-25

A Promise of Blessing v. 16. In that day shall Egypt be like unto women, on account of the greater timidity which usually characterizes the weaker sex; and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts which He shaketh over it, His judgments and punishments thus being scattered by means of the invaders of Egypt. v. 17. And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, either because the mere mention of the name struck terror to their hearts at this... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 19:1-25

These two chapters (19, 20) contain the burden of Egypt. Its doom is first declared (19: 1-15) . Jehovah's advent will result in the destruction of idols, in civil war, in failure in counsel, and in the government of the Egyptian people by a cruel lord, a false king. This day of visitation will be one of physical catastrophe. The waters of the Nile will fail, and consequently all industry-fishing, weaving, and building-will be paralyzed. Egypt is to be utterly discomfited by the failure of its... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 19:16-17

‘In that day will Egypt be like a woman, and it will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Yahweh of hosts, which he shakes over it. And the land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt, and everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the purpose of Yahweh of hosts which he purposes towards it.’ This is a reversal of the usual position. In the past it was always Judah that feared Egypt, and trembled at the approach of Egyptian armies. But now the tables... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 19:1-17

Isaiah 19. Oracle on Egypt.— This is one of the most difficult chapters in the book. It falls into two sections, Isaiah 19:1-Esther : and Isaiah 19:18-Lamentations :. If Isaiah 19:1-Esther : is in the main from Isaiah, it probably refers to an anticipated conquest of Egypt by Assyria. Three possibilities are then open: ( a) the defeat of Egypt by Sargon at Raphia in 720 B.C. (pp. 59, 71); ( b) the occasion which called forth the similar prophecy in Isaiah 20; ( c) the early part of... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 19:17

The land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt; either, 1. Because of Judah’s calamities and desolations; for Judah was their bulwark against the Assyrians and Babylonians; and when this bulwark was removed, the Egyptians, their neighbours and confederates, had just cause to fear. Or, 2. Because of their manifold both former and later injuries against Judah, for which they now apprehend that God is calling them to an account; which interpretation seems to be favoured by the following words; for... read more
