Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 18:5

Theological / Devotional

Take away and cut down. Isaiah’s description of the work of the divine reapers continues (see Matt. 13:39; Rev. 14:14-20). The earth is a vast harvest field. When, in His infinite wisdom, the Lord sees that a nation is ripe for destruction He sends forth His reapers to cut it down (see Dan. 4:13-15 ; 5:25-31).
