ISAIAH CHAPTER 10 The woe of unjust oppressors, Isaiah 10:1-4: of Assyria for their pride and ambition: his folly in it, Isaiah 10:5-19. A remnant of Israel shall be saved, and that speedily, Isaiah 10:20-27. Sennacherib marching toward Jerusalem, Isaiah 10:28-31. His judgment, Isaiah 10:32-34. Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees! unto those magistrates who make unjust laws, and give unjust sentences. That write; either,
1. The scribes, who were assistant to the magistrates, and ofttimes did promote or execute such decrees; or,
2. The unjust magistrates, whose decrees were usually written. So the same thing is repeated in other words. Only this writing may note their obstinacy or perseverance in their unjust decrees, and their proceeding to the execution of them. Grievousness; grievous things, such unjust decrees as cause grief and vexation to their subjects.
