Isaiah 47:11
_ _ from whence it riseth — Hebrew, “the dawn thereof,” that is, its first rising. Evil shall come on thee without the least previous intimation [Rosenmuller]. But dawn is not applied to “evil,” but to prosperity shining out after misery (Isaiah 21:12). Translate, “Thou shall not see any dawn” (of alleviation) [Maurer].
_ _ put ... off — rather, as Margin, “remove by expiation”; it shall be never ending.
_ _ not know — unawares: which thou dost not apprehend. Proving the fallacy of thy divinations and astrology (Job 9:5; Psalms 35:8). |
