Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 9. Here cometh a chariot of men, &c. "A man, one of the two riders"] So the Syriac understands it, and Ephrem Syr.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- The invasion and conquest of Egypt and Ethiopia.
Isaiah was a sign to the people by his unusual dress, when he walke abroad. He commonly wore sackcloth as a prophet, to show himsel mortified to the world. He was to loose this from his loins; to wear n upper garments, and to go barefooted. This sign was to signify, tha the Egyptians and Ethiopians should be led away captives by the king of Assyria, thus stripped. The world will often deem believers foolish when singular in obedience to God. But the Lord will support his servants under the most trying effects of their obedience; and what they are called upon to suffer for his sake, commonly is light compared with what numbers groan under from year to year from sin Those who make any creature their expectation and glory, and so put it in the place of God, will, sooner or later, be ashamed of it. But disappointment in creature-confidences, instead of driving us to despair, should drive us to God, and our expectation shall not be in vain. The same lesson is in force now; and where shall we look for ai in the hour of necessity, but to the Lord our Righteousness _________________________________________________
