This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
they - the Philistine allies of Egypt who trusted in it for help against Assyria. A warning to the party among the Jews, who, though Judah was then the subordinate ally of Assyria, were looking to Egypt as a preferable ally (Isa 30:7). Ethiopia was their “expectation”; for Palestine had not yet obtained, but hoped for alliance with it. Egypt was their “glory,” that is, boast (Isa 13:19); for the alliance with it was completed.
