Isa_7:5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
Ver. 5. Because Syria, Ephraim, &c.] This was the fruit of their fury fuming out at their noses, {Isa_7:4} and proving like smoke, which the higher it riseth, the sooner it vanisheth; or like the bubbles blown up into the air by children, into whose eyes they soon fall back again. There is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor counsel against the Lord. {Pro_21:30] {See Trapp on "Pro_21:30"}
