Isaiah 36:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 36:7

5 I say you speak of having plans and power for war; but they are¹ mere words. Now in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?

6 Look! You are trusting in the ^astaff of this broken reed, Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who ^btrust in him.

7 “But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the Lord our God,’ is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and said to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar’?” ’

8 Now therefore, I urge you, give a pledge to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses—if you are able on your part to put riders on them!

9 How then will you repel one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
