Commentary on Isaiah 19:14

Theological / Devotional

A perverse spirit. Literally, “a spirit of wavering,” that is, of uncertainty, not of wisdom. All true wisdom proceeds from God. The leaders of Egypt became foolish, and found themselves in a state of utter confusion. Their perversity and confusion came not from God but from their refusal to walk in His ways. In their uncertainty and vacillation they became as staggering drunkards, loathsome and pitiful to behold.
