Commentary on Isaiah 47:11

Theological / Devotional

Not know from whence it riseth. This may also be translated, “[against which] you will know no charms.” God foretold the fall of Babylon a century and a half earlier, indeed before the Neo-Babylonian Empire rose, yet all the wise men of Babylon were surprised when that hour struck (Dan. 5:4-9; cf. Matt. 24:39). Against the decree of Heaven and the might of Cyrus the sorcerers of Babylon had no charms.
