Isaiah 10:17-18

_ _ light of Israel — carrying out the image in the end of Isaiah 10:16. Jehovah, who is a light to Israel, shall be the “fire” (Deuteronomy 4:24; Hebrews 12:29) that shall ignite the “thorns,” (the Assyrians, like dry fuel, a ready prey to flame).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 10:5-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 10:17

The light — That God who is and will be a comfortable light to his people. A fire — To the Assyrians. Thorns — His vast army, which is no more able to resist God, than dry thorns and briars are to oppose the fire.
