Jer 13:1-11; 19:1-15 Eze 4:5 Mt 16:24

Verse 2. Walking naked and barefoot.] It is not probable that the prophet walked uncovered and barefoot for three years; his appearing in that manner was a sign that within three years the Egyptians and Cushites should be in the same condition, being conquered and made captives by the king of Assyria. The time was denoted as well as the event; but his appearing in that manner for three whole years could give no premonition of the time at all. It is probable, therefore, that the prophet was ordered to walk so for three days to denote the accomplishment of the event in three years; a day for a year, according to the prophetical rule, Numbers xiv. 34; Ezek. iv. 6. The words µymy �l� shalosh yamim, three days, may possibly have been lost out of the text, at the end of the second verse, after Pjy yacheph, barefoot; or after the same word in the third verse, where, in the Alexandrine and Vatican copies of the Septuagint, and in MSS. Pachom. and i. D. ii. the words tria eth, three years, are twice expressed. Perhaps, instead of µymy �l� shalosh yamim, three days, the Greek translator might read µyn� �l� shalosh shanim, three years, by his own mistake, or by that of his copy, after Pjy yacheph in the third verse, for which stands the first tria eth, three years, in the Alexandrine and Vatican Septuagint, and in the two MSS. above mentioned. It is most likely that Isaiah's walking naked and barefoot was done in a vision; as was probably that of the Prophet Hosea taking a wife of whoredoms.

None of these things can well be taken literally.

From thy foot] ûylgr ragleycha, thy feet, is the reading of thirty-four of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., four ancient editions, with the Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, and Arabic.

Is. 19:1-17 God shall come into Egypt with his judgments. He will rais up the causes of their destruction from among themselves. When ungodl men escape danger, they are apt to think themselves secure; but evi pursues sinners, and will speedily overtake them, except they repent The Egyptians will be given over into the hand of one who shall rul them with rigour, as was shortly after fulfilled. The Egyptians wer renowned for wisdom and science; yet the Lord would give them up to their own perverse schemes, and to quarrel, till their land would be brought by their contests to become an object of contempt and pity. He renders sinners afraid of those whom they have despised and oppressed and the Lord of hosts will make the workers of iniquity a terror to themselves, and to each other; and every object around a terror to them.

Is. 19:18-25 The words, "In that day," do not always refer to the passage just before. At a time which was to come, the Egyptians shal speak the holy language, the Scripture language; not only understan it, but use it. Converting grace, by changing the heart, changes the language; for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. S many Jews shall come to Egypt, that they shall soon fill five cities Where the sun was worshipped, a place infamous for idolatry, even ther shall be a wonderful reformation. Christ, the great Altar, wh sanctifies every gift, shall be owned, and the gospel sacrifices of prayer and praise shall be offered up. Let the broken-hearted an afflicted, whom the Lord has wounded, and thus taught to return to, an call upon him, take courage; for He will heal their souls, and tur their sorrowing supplications into joyful praises. The Gentile nation shall not only unite with each other in the gospel fold under Christ the great Shepherd, but they shall all be united with the Jews. The shall be owned together by him; they shall all share in one and the same blessing. Meeting at the same throne of grace, and serving with each other in the same business of religion, should end all disputes and unite the hearts of believers to each other in holy love _________________________________________________
