(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
burden - the prophecy as to, etc. [Maurer]; so the Septuagint, the fresh inscription here marks emphatically the prediction that follows. Or, rather, Isaiah sees in vision, the ambassador’s beasts burdened with rich presents travelling southwards (namely, to Egypt, Dan 11:5, Dan 11:6), and exclaims, Oh, the burden of treasure on the beasts! etc. (Hos 8:9; Hos 12:1).
land of trouble - the desert between Palestine and Egypt, destitute of water and abounding in dangerous animals (Deu 8:15; Jer 2:6).
flying serpent - (Isa 14:29), a species which springs like a dart from trees, on its prey.
will carry - rather, present, “carry,” namely, as presents to Egypt (1Ki 15:19).
young asses - rather, “full-grown asses” [Maurer].
