Commentary on Isaiah 30:5

Theological / Devotional

Of a people. That is, “because of a people.” The Egyptian alliance brought only shame. Its promises of substantial help proved worse than worthless, for it brought down on Judah the wrath of Assyria. It had been the alliance of Hoshea with Egypt and his refusal to pay tribute to Assyria that had, but a few years before, brought Shalmaneser against Samaria (2 Kings 17:4-6).
