Previous Chapter - Isaiah 17:1 Previous Verse - Isaiah 17:14 Next Verse - Isaiah 18:2 Next Chapter - Isaiah 19:1
{Isaiah 18:1} Woe 1945 to the land 776 shadowing 6767 with wings, 3671 which x834 [is] beyond 5676 x4480 the rivers 5104 of Ethiopia: 3568
am cir, 3290, bc cir, 714
Woe:
Bp. Lowth renders, after Bochart, "Ho! to the land of the winged cymbal;" which he thinks is a periphrasis for the Egyptian sistrum; and consequently, that Egypt, "which borders on the rivers of Cush," is the country to which the prophecy is addressed. If we translate "shadowing with wings," it may allude to the multitude of its vessels, whose sails may be represented under the notion of wings.
the land:
"And the LORDª said,ª° Like as¹ my servantª Isaiahª hath walkedª° nakedª and barefootª threeª yearsª [for] a signª and wonderª upon¹ Egyptª and upon¹ Ethiopia;ª ... And the inhabitantª° of this¹ isleª shall sayª° in that¹ day,ª Behold,¹ suchª [is] our expectation,ª whither¹¹ we fleeª° for helpª to be deliveredª° fromª¹ the kingª of Assyria:ª and how¹ shall we¹ escape?ª°" {Isa 20:3-6} + "That walkª° to go downª° into Egypt,ª and have not¹ askedª° at my mouth;ª to strengthenª° themselves in the strengthª of Pharaoh,ª and to trustª° in the shadowª of Egypt!ª ... Therefore shall the strengthª of Pharaohª be¹ your shame,ª and the trustª in the shadowª of Egyptª [your] confusion.ª" {Isa 30:2-3} + "Woeª to them that go downª° to Egyptª for help;ª and stayª° on¹ horses,ª and trustª° in¹ chariots,ª because¹ [they are] many;ª and in¹ horsemen,ª because¹ they are very² strong;ª°¹ but they lookª° not¹ unto¹ the Holy Oneª of Israel,ª neither¹ seekª° the LORD!ª" {Isa 31:1}
shadowing:
"The LORDª recompenseª° thy work,ª and a fullª rewardª be given¹ thee of¹¹ the LORDª Godª of Israel,ª under¹ whose¹ wingsª thou art comeª° to trust.ª°" {Rth 2:12} + "Keepª° me as the appleª¹ of the eye,ª² hideª° me under the shadowª of thy wings,ª" {Psa 17:8} + "How¹ excellentª [is] thy lovingkindness,ª O God!ª therefore the childrenª of menª put their trustª° under the shadowª of thy wings.ª" {Psa 36:7} + "[[To the chief Musician,ª° Altaschith,ª° Michtamª of David,ª when he fledª° fromª¹ Saulª in the cave.]]ª Be mercifulª° unto me, O God,ª be mercifulª° unto me: for¹ my soulª trustethª° in thee: yea, in the shadowª of thy wingsª will I make my refuge,ª° until¹ [these] calamitiesª be overpast.ª°" {Psa 57:1} + "I will abideª° in thy tabernacleª for ever:ª I will trustª° in the covertª of thy wings.ª Selah.ª" {Psa 61:4} + "Because¹ thou hast been¹ my help,ª therefore in the shadowª of thy wingsª will I rejoice.ª°" {Psa 63:7} + "He shall coverª° thee with his feathers,ª and under¹ his wingsª shalt thou trust:ª° his truthª [shall be thy] shieldª and buckler.ª" {Psa 91:4} + "O Jerusalem,ª Jerusalem,ª [thou] that killestª° the¹ prophets,ª andª stonestª° them which are sentª° untoª thee,ª how oftenª would¹ I²° have gathered²° thy²² children² together,ª°¹¹ even asª¹ a henª gatherethª° herª chickensª underª [her] wings,ª andª ye wouldª° not!ª" {Mtt 23:37}
which:
"And when he heardª° sayª° of¹ Tirhakahª kingª of Ethiopia,ª Behold,¹ he is come outª° to fightª° against¹ thee: he sentª° messengersª againª° unto¹ Hezekiah,ª saying,ª°" {2Kg 19:9} + "And the swordª shall comeª° upon Egypt,ª and great painª shall be¹ in Ethiopia,ª when the slainª shall fallª° in Egypt,ª and they shall take awayª° her multitude,ª and her foundationsª shall be broken down.ª° ... Ethiopia,ª and Libya,ª and Lydia,ª and all¹ the mingled² people,¹ and Chub,ª and the menª of the landª that is in league,ª shall fallª° with¹ them by the sword.ª" {Ezk 30:4-5} + "Ye¹ Ethiopiansª also,¹ yeª [shall be] slainª by my sword.ª" {Zph 2:12} + "From beyondª¹ the riversª of Ethiopiaª my suppliants,ª [even] the daughterª of my dispersed,ª° shall bringª° mine offering.ª" {Zph 3:10}
