Verse 12
12. Say ye not Rather, Ye shall not say, a prohibition.
A confederacy כשׁר , ( kesher,) “conspiracy.” In other places, (2 Samuel 15:12; 1Ki 16:10 ; 2 Kings 11:14, etc.,) this word means treason. Most commentators, since Jerome, do not apply this to the arts of Pekah and Rezin, for theirs was a real conspiracy against Judah. Jehovah could not refer to this, but to the charge of disloyalty to the king, Ahaz, upon Isaiah and his friends. This charge they were to disregard utterly, and go on in the performance of duty boldly.
To all them to whom Rather, concerning every thing of which this people shout, “Treason!”
Neither fear ye their fear Or, that which they fear. The fear that ruin will follow if Judah rejects foreign alliance and trusts in Jehovah alone.
Be the first to react on this!
