Chapter 18

Whatever country it is that is meant here by “the land shadowing with wings,” here is a woe denounced against it, for God has, upon his people’s account, a quarrel with it. I. They threaten God’s people, Isa. 18:1, 2. II. All the neighbours are hereupon called to take notice what will be the issue, Isa. 18:3. III. Though God seem unconcerned in the distress of his people for a time, he will at length appear against their enemies and will remarkable cut them off, Isa. 18:4-6. IV. This shall redound very much to the glory of God, Isa. 18:7.
