SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:1
¶ ¡Ay de los que descienden a Egipto por ayuda; y confían en caballos; y en carros ponen su esperanza, porque son muchos; y en caballeros, porque son valientes; y no miraron al Santo de Israel, ni buscaron al SEÑOR!
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 31:1
Verse 1. Wo to them that go down to Egypt] This is a reproof to the Israelites for forming an alliance with the Egyptians, and not trusting in the Lord. And stay on horses "Who trust in horses"] For l[w veal, and upon, first twenty MSS. of Kennicott's, thirty of De Rossi's, one of my own, and the Septuagint, Arabic, and Vulgate, read l[ al, upon, without the conjunction, which disturbs the sense.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The sin and folly of seeking help from Egypt. (Is. 31:1-5) God's car for Jerusalem. (Is. 31:6-9)
Is. 31:1-5 God will oppose the help sought from workers of iniquity Sinners may be convicted of folly by plain and self-evident truths which they cannot deny, but will not believe. There is no escaping the judgments of God; and evil pursues sinners. The Lord of hosts will com down to fight for Mount Zion. The Lion of the tribe of Judah wil appear for the defence of his church. And as birds hovering over their young ones to protect them, with such compassion and affection will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem. He will so defend it, as to secure it safety.
Is. 31:6-9 They have been backsliding children, yet children; let the return, and their backslidings shall be healed, though they have sun deep into misery, and cannot easily recover. Many make an idol of their silver and gold, and by the love of that are drawn from God; but thos who turn to God, will be ready to part with it. Then, when they have cast away their idols, shall the Assyrian fall by the sword of a angel, who strikes more strongly than a mighty man, yet more secretl than a mean man. God can make the stoutest heart to tremble. But if we keep up the fire of holy love and devotion in our hearts and houses, we may depend upon God to protect us and them __________________________________________________________________
