Isaiah 30:28
_ _ (Isaiah 11:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:8).
_ _ reach ... neck — the most extreme danger; yet as the head, or capital of Judah, was to be spared (Isaiah 8:8), so the head, or sovereign of Assyria, Sennacherib, should escape.
_ _ sieve of vanity — Rather, “the winnowing fan of destruction” [Lowth] (Isaiah 41:16).
_ _ bridle in ... jaws — as prisoners are represented in the Assyrian inscriptions (Isaiah 37:29).
_ _ causing ... to err — (Isaiah 63:17). “People,” Hebrew, “peoples,” namely, the various races composing the Assyrian armies (Isaiah 5:26). |
Isaiah 30:28
His breath — God's anger. A stream — Coming from him as vehemently, as a mighty torrent of waters. To sift — To shake and scatter, as it were with a sieve. The nations — The Assyrian army, which was made up of several nations. With — Not with an ordinary sieve, which casteth away the chaff only, but with a sieve, which should shake them so long and so vehemently, as to cast away altogether. A bridle — God will over — rule them by his powerful providence. To err — Whereas other bridles guide into the right way, this shall turn them out of the way, by giving them up to their own foolish counsels, which shall bring them to certain ruin. |
