Commentary on Isaiah 17:12

Theological / Devotional

Many people. The power against whom this woe is pronounced is not designated by name. However, it was some enemy of God’s people that was to come against them like the waters of a mighty flood, threatening to overwhelm them completely. Such a prophecy had been given concerning Assyria (ch. 8:7, 8), and this empire may be the power referred to here.
