<< Isaiah 29:4

Isaiah 29:6 >>

Isaiah 29:5

The multitude of thy strangers "The multitude of the proud" - For zarayich , thy strangers, read zedim , the proud, according to the Septuagint; parallel to and synonymous with aritsim , the terrible, in the next line: the resh was at first daleth in a MS. See note on Isaiah 25:2.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh verses contain an admirable description of the destruction of Sennacherib' s army, with a beautiful variety of the most expressive and sublime images: perhaps more adapted to show the greatness, the suddenness, and horror of the event, than the means and manner by which it was effected. Compare Isaiah 30:30-33.
