<p>Jewish ambassadors were now on their way to Egypt to seek aid against Assyria (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',30,'2-6',15);">Isa 30:2-6, 15</a>, <a onclick="return mV('Isa',31,1);">31:1</a>). Isaiah denounces this reliance on Egypt rather than on Jehovah. God had prohibited such alliances with heathen nations, and it was a leading part of Jewish polity that they should be a separate people (<a onclick="return mV('Exd',23,32);">Exd 23:32</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Deu',7,2);">Deu 7:2</a>).
|

<p><b>1. take counsel</b>—rather, as <a onclick="return mV('Isa',30,4,6);">Isa 30:4, 6</a> imply, "execute counsels."
|
|
<br><br><b>cover...covering</b>—that is, wrap themselves in reliances disloyal towards Jehovah. "Cover" thus answers to "seek to hide deeply their counsel from the Lord" (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',29,15);">Isa 29:15</a>). But the <i>Hebrew</i> is literally, "who pour out libations"; as it was by these that <i>leagues</i> were made (<a onclick="return mV('Exd',24,8);">Exd 24:8</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Zec',9,11);">Zec 9:11</a>), translate, "who make a league."

<br><br><b>not of</b>—not suggested by My Spirit" (<a onclick="return mV('Num',27,21);">Num 27:21</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jos',9,14);">Jos 9:14</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>that they may add</b>—The <i>consequence</i> is here spoken of as their <i>intention,</i> so reckless were they of sinning: one sin entails the commission of another (<a onclick="return mV('Deu',29,19);">Deu 29:19</a>).
|

<br><br><b>Pharaoh</b>—the generic name of the kings of Egypt, as <i>Caesar</i> was at Rome. The word in Egyptian means "king" [JOSEPHUS, <i>Antiquities,</i> 8.6,2]. <i>Phra,</i> "the sun," was the hieroglyphic symbol and title of the king.

<p id="Isa30_3"><b>3. shame</b>—disappointment. Egypt, weakened by its internal dissensions, can give no solid help.

<p id="Isa30_4"><b>4. his</b>—Judah's (compare <a onclick="return mV('Isa',9,21);">Isa 9:21</a>).

West of the Nile, in central Egypt: Egyptian <i>Hnes;</i> the <i>Greek Heracleopolis:</i> perhaps the Anysis of HERODOTUS (2.137); according to GROTIUS, <i>Tahpanhes</i> contracted (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',43,'7-9');">Jer 43:7-9</a>); the seat of a reigning prince at the time, as was Zoan, hence the Jewish ambassadors go to both.

|
|
<p id="Isa30_6"><b>6. burden</b>—the prophecy as to, etc. [MAURER]; so the <i>Septuagint,</i> the fresh inscription here marks emphatically the prediction that follows. Or, rather, Isaiah sees in vision, the ambassador's beasts <i>burdened</i> with rich presents <i>travelling southwards</i> (namely, to Egypt, <a onclick="return mV('Dan',11,5,6);">Dan 11:5-6</a>), and exclaims, Oh, the <i>burden of treasure</i> on the beasts! etc. (<a onclick="return mV('Hsa',8,9);">Hsa 8:9</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Hsa',12,1);">12:1</a>).

|
|
<br><br><b>flying serpent</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',14,29);">Isa 14:29</a>), a species which springs like a dart from trees, on its prey.
|
|
<br><br><b>will carry</b>—rather, present, "carry," namely, as presents to Egypt (<a onclick="return mV('1Ki',15,19);">1Ki 15:19</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>young asses</b>—rather, "full-grown asses" [MAURER].
|
|
<p id="Isa30_7"><b>7.</b> "Egypt is vanity, and to no purpose will they help" [G. V. SMITH].
|
|
<br><br><b>strength</b>—<i>Hebrew, Rabah,</i> a designation for Egypt (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',51,9);">Isa 51:9</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',87,4);">Psa 87:4</a>), implying her <i>haughty fierceness;</i> translate, "Therefore I call her Arrogance that sitteth still." She who boasted of the help she would give, when it came to the test, sat still (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',36,6);">Isa 36:6</a>). <i>English Version</i> agrees with <a onclick="return mV('Isa',30,15);">Isa 30:15</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',7,4);">Isa 7:4</a>.
|
|
<p id="Isa30_8"><b>8. table</b>—a tablet (<a onclick="return mV('Hab',2,2);">Hab 2:2</a>), which should be set in public, containing the prophecy in a briefer form, to be read by all.
|
|
<br><br><b>a book</b>—namely, a parchment roll, containing the prophecy in full, for the use of distant posterity. Its truth will be seen hereafter when the event has come to pass. See on JFB for <a href="./Comm/jfb/Isa/Isa008.html#Isa8_1">Isa 8:1</a>; JFB for <a href="./Comm/jfb/Isa/Isa008.html#Isa8_16">Isa 8:16</a>.
|
|
<br><br><b>for ever and ever</b>—rather read, "For a <i>testimony</i> for ever" [<i>Chaldee,</i> JEROME, LOWTH]: "testimony is often joined to the notion of <i>perpetuity</i> (<a onclick="return mV('Deu',31,19,21,26);">Deu 31:19, 21, 26</a>).
|
|
<p id="Isa30_9"><b>9. lying</b>—unfaithful to Jehovah, whose covenant they had taken on them as His adopted <i>children</i> (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',59,13);">Isa 59:13</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Pro',30,9);">Pro 30:9</a>).

|
|
<br><br><b>See not</b>—as you now do, foretelling misfortune.
|
|
<br><br><b>Prophesy not...right things</b>—Not that they avowedly requested this, but their conduct <i>virtually</i> expressed it. No man, <i>professedly,</i> wished to be deceived; but many seek a kind of teaching which is deceit; and which, if they would examine, they might know to be such (<a onclick="return mV('1Ki',22,13);">1Ki 22:13</a>). The Jews desired success to be foretold as the issue of their league with Egypt, though ill had been announced by God's prophet as the result; this constituted the "deceits."
|
|
<p id="Isa30_11"><b>11.</b> Depart from the true "way" (so in <a onclick="return mV('Act',19,9,23);">Act 19:9, 23</a>) of religion.
|

<br><br><b>cause...to cease</b>—Let us hear no more of His name. God's <i>holiness</i> is what troubles sinners most.
|
|
<p id="Isa30_12"><b>12. Holy One</b>—Isaiah so little yields to their wicked prejudices that he repeats the very name and truth which they disliked.
|
|
<br><br><b>this word</b>—Isaiah's exhortation to reliance on Jehovah.
|
|
<br><br><b>oppression</b>—whereby they levied the treasures to be sent to conciliate Egypt (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',30,6);">Isa 30:6</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>perverseness</b>—in relying on Egypt, rather than on Jehovah.
|
|
<p id="Isa30_13"><b>13.</b> Image from a curve swelling out in a wall (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',62,3);">Psa 62:3</a>); when the former gives way, it causes the downfall of the whole wall; so their policy as to Egypt.
|
|
<p id="Isa30_14"><b>14. he</b>—the enemy; or rather, God (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',2,9);">Psa 2:9</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',19,11);">Jer 19:11</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>It</b>—the Jewish state.
|
|
<br><br><b>potter's vessel</b>—earthen and fragile.
|
|
<br><br><b>sherd</b>—a fragment of the vessel large enough to take up a live coal, etc.
|
|
<br><br><b>pit</b>—cistern or pool. The swell of the wall is at first imperceptible and gradual, but at last it comes to the crisis; so the decay of the Jewish state.
|
|
<p id="Isa30_15"><b>15. returning and rest</b>—turning back from your embassy to Egypt, and ceasing from warlike preparations.
|
|
<br><br><b>quietness</b>—answering to "wait for Him (God)" (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',30,18);">Isa 30:18</a>).
|
|
<p id="Isa30_16"><b>16. flee</b>—not as fugitives, but we will <i>speed</i> our course; namely, against the Assyrians, by the help of cavalry supplied by Egypt (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',31,1);">Isa 31:1</a>). This was expressly against the Mosaic law (<a onclick="return mV('Deu',17,16);">Deu 17:16</a>; see on JFB for <a href="./Comm/jfb/Isa/Isa002.html#Isa2_7">Isa 2:7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Hsa',14,3);">Hsa 14:3</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>shall...flee</b>—literally, "before your enemies"; their sin and its punishment correspond.
|
|
<p id="Isa30_17"><b>17. One thousand</b>—A thousand <i>at once,</i> or, "<i>As one man</i>" [MAURER].
|
|
<br><br><b>rebuke</b>—the battle cry.
|
|
<br><br><b>shall ye</b>—at the rebuke of five shall ye, namely, <i>all</i> (in contrast to the "one thousand") flee so utterly that even two shall not be left together, but each one shall be as solitary "as <i>a signal staff</i>" [G. V. SMITH], or "a <i>banner on a hill</i>" (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',5,26);">Isa 5:26</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',11,12);">11:12</a>). The signal staff was erected to rally a nation in war. The remnant of Jews left would be beacons to warn all men of the justice of God, and the truth of His threatenings. GESENIUS (from <a onclick="return mV('Lev',26,8);">Lev 26:8</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Deu',32,30);">Deu 32:30</a>) arbitrarily inserts "ten thousand." "At the rebuke of five shall ten thousand of you flee."
|

<p id="Isa30_18"><b>18. therefore</b>—on account of your wicked perverseness (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',30,1,2,9,15,16);">Isa 30:1-2, 9, 15-16</a>), Jehovah will <i>delay</i> to be gracious [HORSLEY]. Rather, <i>wait</i> or <i>delay</i> in punishing, to give you time for repentance (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',30,13,14,17);">Isa 30:13-14, 17</a>) [MAURER]. Or, "Yet therefore" (namely, because of the distress spoken of in the previous verses; that distress will lead the Jews to repentance, and so Jehovah will pity them) [GESENIUS].
|
|
<br><br><b>be exalted</b>—Men will have more elevated views of God's mercy; or else, "He will rise up to pity you" [G. V. SMITH]. Or (taking the previous clause as MAURER, "<i>Therefore</i> Jehovah will delay" in punishing you, "<i>in order that He may be gracious to you,</i>" if ye repent), He will be <i>far removed</i> from you (so in <a onclick="return mV('Psa',10,5);">Psa 10:5</a>, <i>far above out sight</i>); that is, He will not immediately descend to punish, "in order that He may have mercy," etc.
|
|
<br><br><b>judgment</b>—justice; faithfulness to His covenant.
|
|
<br><br><b>wait</b>—compare <a onclick="return mV('Isa',30,15);">Isa 30:15</a>, wait, namely, for His times of having mercy.
|
|
<p id="Isa30_19"><b>19.</b> (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',65,9);">Isa 65:9</a>). The restoration from Babylon only typifies the <i>full</i> accomplishment of the prophecy (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',30,'18-33');">Isa 30:18-33</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>weep no more</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',25,8);">Isa 25:8</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>thy cry</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',26,8,9);">Isa 26:8-9</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',29,'12-14');">Jer 29:12-14</a>).
|
|
<p id="Isa30_20"><b>20.</b> Rather, "The Lord will give"; the "though" is not in the original.
|
|
<br><br><b>bread of adversity</b>—He will not deny you food enough to save you in your adversity (<a onclick="return mV('1Ki',22,27);">1Ki 22:27</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',127,2);">Psa 127:2</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>be removed</b>—rather, "hide themselves"; they shall no more be forced to hide themselves from persecution, but shall be openly received with reverence [MAURER]. Contrast with this <a onclick="return mV('Psa',74,9);">Psa 74:9</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Amo',8,11);">Amo 8:11</a>.
|
|
<p id="Isa30_21"><b>21. word</b>—conscience, guided by the Holy Spirit (<a onclick="return mV('Jhn',16,13);">Jhn 16:13</a>).
|
|
<p id="Isa30_22"><b>22. covering of...images</b>—rather, "images" (formed of wood or potter's clay, and) "covered with silver." Hezekiah, and afterwards Josiah, defiled them (<a onclick="return mV('2Ki',23,8,10,14,16);">2Ki 23:8, 10, 14, 16</a>; <a onclick="return mV('2Ch',31,1);">2Ch 31:1</a>; compare <a onclick="return mV('Isa',2,20);">Isa 2:20</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Deu',7,25);">Deu 7:25</a>).
|
|
<p id="Isa30_23"><b>23. rain of</b>—rather, "<i>for thy</i> seed." Physical prosperity accompanies national piety; especially under the Old Testament. The <i>early</i> rain fell soon after the seed was sown in October or November; the <i>latter</i> rain in the spring, before the ripening of the corn. Both were needed for a good harvest.
|
|
<br><br><b>increase</b>—the produce.
|
|
<br><br><b>fat</b>—bread made of the best wheat flour (compare <a onclick="return mV('Gen',49,20);">Gen 49:20</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Deu',32,14);">Deu 32:14</a>).
|
|
<p id="Isa30_24"><b>24. ear</b>—that is till. Asses were employed in tillage, as well as oxen (<a onclick="return mV('Deu',22,10);">Deu 22:10</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>clean</b>—rather, <i>salted</i> provender [GESENIUS]. The Arab proverb is, "Sweet provender is as bread to camels—salted provender as confectionery." The very cattle shall share the coming felicity. Or else, <i>well-fermented maslin,</i> that is, provender formed of a mixture of various substances: grain, beans, vetches, hay, and salt.
|
|
<br><br><b>winnowed</b>—not as it is usually given to cattle before it is separated from the chaff; the grain shall be so abundant that it shall be given winnowed.
|
|
<br><br><b>shovel</b>—by which the grain was thrown up in the wind to separate it from the chaff.
|
|
<br><br><b>fan</b>—an instrument for winnowing.
|
|
<p id="Isa30_25"><b>25.</b> Even the otherwise barren hills shall then be well-watered (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',44,3);">Isa 44:3</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>the day,</b> etc.—when the disobedient among <i>the Jews</i> shall have been slain, as foretold in <a onclick="return mV('Isa',30,16);">Isa 30:16</a>: "towers," that is, mighty men (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',2,15);">Isa 2:15</a>). Or else, the <i>towers of the Assyrian Sennacherib,</i> or <i>of Babylon,</i> types of all enemies of God's people.
|
|
<p id="Isa30_26"><b>26.</b> Image from the heavenly bodies to express the increase of spiritual light and felicity. "Sevenfold" implies the <i>perfection</i> of that felicity, seven being the sacred number. It shall also be literally fulfilled hereafter in the heavenly city (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',60,19,20);">Isa 60:19-20</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Rev',21,23,24);">Rev 21:23-24</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Rev',22,5);">22:5</a>).

|
|
<br><br><b>burden...is heavy</b>—literally, "grievousness is the flame," that is, the flame which darts from Him is grievous. Or else (as the <i>Hebrew</i> means an "uplifting") <i>the uprising cloud is grievous</i> [G. V. SMITH]; the gathering cloud gradually rising till it bursts.
|

<p id="Isa30_28"><b>28.</b> (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',11,4);">Isa 11:4</a>; <a onclick="return mV('2Th',2,8);">2Th 2:8</a>).

|

<br><br><b>sieve of vanity</b>—Rather, "the winnowing fan of destruction" [LOWTH] (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',41,16);">Isa 41:16</a>).

<p id="Isa30_31"><b>31.</b> The Assyrian rod which beat shall itself be beaten, and that by the mere <i>voice</i> of the Lord, that is, an unseen divine agency (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',10,5,24);">Isa 10:5, 24</a>).

<p id="Isa30_33"><b>33.

Latterly Gehinnom or Gehenna, that is, valley of Hinnom, was the receptacle of the refuse of the city, to consume which fires were constantly burning. Hence it came to express hell, the place of torment. In the former sense it was a fit place to symbolize the funeral pyre of the Assyrian army (not that it actually perished there); the Hebrews did not burn, but buried their dead, but the heathen Assyrians are to be burnt as a mark of ignominy.
