Isa_10:17

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire

The light of Israel

A name of Jehovah, who was represented by the Shekinah glory.

(B. Blake, B. D.)



The collapse of the Assyrian enterprise

Isaiah’s genius supplies him with a splendid figure under which to depict the collapse of the Assyrian enterprise. The serried battalions of Assyria appear to his imagination as the trees of some huge forest, irresistible in their strength and countless in their number; but the Light of Israel kindles majestically into a flame; and at the end of a single day a child may count them. (Prof. S. R. Driver, D. D.)
