This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_19:25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed [be] Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
Ver. 25. Whom the Lord af hosts shall bless.] Or, For the Lord of hosts shall bless, and then he shall be blessed, {a} as Isaac said of Jacob. {Gen_27:33}
Blessed be Egypt, my people.] A new title to Egypt, and no less honourable. Vide quantum profecerit Egyptus flagellis, saith Oecolampadius, here, i.e., see how Egypt hath got by her sufferings. See Isa_19:22. She who was not a people, but a rabble of rebels conspiring against heaven, is now owned and taken into covenant.
And Assyria, the work of my hands.] "For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works." {Eph_2:10}
And Israel mine inheritance.] This is, upon the matter, one and the same with the former; every regenerate person, whether Jew or Gentile, is all these three in conjunction. Oh the ìõñùìáêáñéïôçò , the heaped up happiness of all such! "Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; let the children of Zion be joyful in their king." {Psa_149:2} "For the Lord her God in the midst of her is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over her with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over her with singing." {Zep_3:17}
