Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 29:4

Theological / Devotional

Be brought down. Jerusalem, though not to be taken, was to be humbled in the dust. In abject humility Hezekiah sent his ambassadors to the Assyrian king, acknowledging himself to be in error, bespeaking his favor, and expressing his willingness to accept such demands as might be made of him (2 Kings 18:14). Jerusalem is compared to a captured enemy groveling before his captor with his face in the dust and muttering vows of submission, in the hope of saving his life (see on Lev. 19:31; Deut. 18:11).
