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

b) Prophecies that give Warning not to Trust in False Help Against AssyriaIsaiah 19:20α) EGYPT NOW IN TIME TO COMEIsaiah 19:0Various expositors from Eichhorn to Hitzig have attacked the genuineness of this chapter in whole or in part. But one may judge in advance how little valid the alleged reasons for this are, by the fact that Knobel rejects them all, and is decided in his recognition of Isaiah, as its author. We may therefore spare ourselves the investigation of these doubts, and so much... 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's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 19:1-2

‘The burden of Egypt. Behold Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt will be removed at his presence, and the heart of Egypt will melt in the midst of it. And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour, city against city, and kingship against kingship.’ The idea of Yahweh riding triumphantly on the clouds is found in Psalms 18:10-15; Psalms 104:3, but Baal was... read more

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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 19:1

The burden of Egypt. Some learned men conceive that what was said more generally and darkly in the foregoing chapter, is here more particularly. and clearly explained to be meant of Egypt; it being usual for the prophets to mix obscure and plain passages together, and to clear the one by the other. Others understand that chapter of Ethiopia, and this of Egypt. But this controversy must be decided by an exact consideration of all the passages of the former chapter. The Lord rideth, as a general... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 19:2

I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians; I will raise civil wars among them. Kingdom against kingdom; for although all Egypt was now one kingdom, and under one king, yet not many years after this time it was divided into twelve several kingdoms, between whom there were many and cruel wars, as is related by the historians of those times, and particularly by Herodotus and Diodorus. read more
