Isaiah 10:3 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

What will ye do to save yourselves? In the day of visitation: when I shall come to visit you in wrath, as the next words limit it, and as this phrase is oft used; although sometimes it signifies a visitation in mercy, as Luke 19:14, and elsewhere. From far; from the Assyrians. This he adds, because the Israelites, having weakened the Jews, and being in amity with the Syrians their next neighbours, were secure. To whom will ye flee for help? to the Syrians, as now you do? But they shall be destroyed together with you, as they were, 2Ki 16. Where will you leave, to be kept safe for your use, and to be restored to you when you call for it, your glory? either,

1. Your power and authority, which now you so wickedly abuse; or,

2. Your wealth, got by injustice, as glory is taken, Genesis 31:1 Psalms 49:16,17, &c.

Isaiah 10:3

3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
