This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_28:3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
Ver. 3. The crown {a} of pride … shall be trodden under foot.] This noteth utmost ignominy. Finge ideam animo, saith one here; imagine you saw Shalmaneser pulling the crown from the king of Israel’s head, throwing it to the ground, and then trampling on it. What brave rhetoric is here!
{a} The Romans pictured pride with a triple crown. On the first crown was written Transcendo; I excel, on the next, Non obedio; I do not submit, on the third, Perturbo I throw into confusion.
