Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 30:3

Isaiah 30:3. Therefore, &c.— The prophet here foretels the unfortunate event of their enterprize; namely, that their reliance on the strength of So, the Pharaoh or king of Egypt, should avail them nothing, but turn out to their confusion. See 2 Kings 17:4. This is more fully set forth in the subsequent verses. read more

Therefore have I called her, Rage to rest; or Pride [Rahab, a name of Egypt] be still. Vitringa. It is plain from these words of the prophet, that the ambassadors of the king Hosea, after they came into Egypt, should find every thing there unprepared, and averse to their wishes;... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 30:2

How ironic that God’s people thought they could find life in Egypt, which had historically been a place of death for them and from which they had fled formerly (cf. Exodus 1:22). Furthermore, they had done this without even consulting the Lord, a failure that had resulted in the Gibeonite compromise generations earlier (cf. Joshua 9:14). Rather than seeking safety under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalms 91:1), they had sought it under the shadow of Pharaoh."In Ashurbanipal’s late reign and in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 30:3

The safety they had sought would prove to be a delusion. The supposed protection that Pharaoh offered would result in the disappointment of hope, and the shelter that Egypt promised would turn to disgrace. The Pharaoh at this time was Shabako, a Nubian.

I am assuming that the historical context of this prophecy was shortly before Sennacherib’s invasion of Jerusalem in... read more
