This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
her forest - (Isa 10:34).
though it cannot be searched - They cut down her forest, dense and unsearchable (Job 5:9; Job 9:10; Job 36:26) as it may seem: referring to the thickly set cities of Egypt, which were at that time a thousand and twenty. The Hebrew particle is properly, “for,” “because.”
because - the reason why the Chaldeans shall be able to cut down so dense a forest of cities as Egypt: they themselves are countless in numbers.
grasshoppers - locusts (Jdg 6:5).
