イザヤ書 30:3 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-7

It was often the fault and folly of the people of the Jews that, when they were insulted by their neighbours on one side, they sought for succour from their neighbours on the other side, instead of looking up to God and putting their confidence in him. Against the Israelites they sought to the Syrians, 2 Chron. 16:2, 3. Against the Syrians they sought to the Assyrians, 2 Kgs. 16:7. Against the Assyrians they here sought to the Egyptians, and Rabshakeh upbraided them with so doing, 2 Kgs.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:3

Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame ,.... They should be disappointed of the help and assistance they expected from him, and so be ashamed of their ally, and of confidence in him: and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion ; they should be confounded, when they should find themselves unsupported by the Egyptians, in whom they put their confidence; so all such that trust in the creature, or in an arm of flesh, sooner or later are ashamed and confounded; but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-7

THE ALLIANCE WITH EGYPT OPENLY REBUKED . In the preceding chapter ( Isaiah 30:15 ) the design of the Jewish rulers to seek the alliance of Egypt was covertly glanced at and condemned; now it is openly declared and rebuked. The rulers are warned that no good can possibly come of it, even in a worldly sense. The Egyptians will give no aid, or at any rate no effectual aid. The sums expended in purchasing their friendship will be utterly thrown away. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-7

A godless policy issues in disaster, however seemingly wise. In the sight of man there was no more prudent course for the Jews to take than to ally themselves with Egypt. Egypt was the only power in their neighborhood that could possibly make head against Assyria. Egypt had a standing army, trained warriors, an ancient military system, numerous chariots and horses, ample siege material, and abundant appliances of war. She was at the time closely connected with Ethiopia, and could bring into... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-7

The embassy to Egypt. The embassy to Egypt has been sent, and the prophet's object is to show that the policy of it is false, as all policy must be false which does not rest upon religion. I. The POLICY CHARACTERIZED . It is that of " unruly sons," and they "carry out a purpose which is not from Jehovah." So in Hosea we read, "They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not" ( Hosea 8:4 ). They "weave a net" or "plait alliances" without his... read more

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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:3

Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame - (see the note at Isaiah 20:5).Your confusion - Hebrew, ‘For reproach.’ It would either occur that the Egyptians “would” not enter into an alliance; or that if they did, they “could” not defend them, and in either case it would be the source of deep regret and shame. 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

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

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
