Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
burden—the prophecy as to, etc. [MAURER]; so the Septuagint, the fresh inscription here marks emphatically the prediction that follows. Or, rather, Isaiah sees in vision, the ambassador's beasts burdened with rich presents travelling southwards (namely, to Egypt, Daniel 11:5-6), and exclaims, Oh, the burden of treasure on the beasts! etc. (Hosea 8:9; Hosea 12:1).
land of trouble—the desert between Palestine and Egypt, destitute of water and abounding in dangerous animals (Deuteronomy 8:15; Jeremiah 2:6).
flying serpent— (Isaiah 14:29), a species which springs like a dart from trees, on its prey.
will carry—rather, present, "carry," namely, as presents to Egypt (I Kings 15:19).
young asses—rather, "full-grown asses" [MAURER].
