Commentary on Isaiah 19:4

Theological / Devotional

A cruel lord. These words do not necessarily refer to any single ruler, for there were many rulers who could qualify. They may refer to Assyria as a nation rather than to a single king; and later, to Babylonian, Persian, Macedonian, Roman, Arabian, or British control over the unhappy land of Egypt. In their pride and splendor the Egyptians had turned completely against the counsel of the Lord, who now permitted them to fall under the control of tyrants.
