Isaiah 19:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The paper reeds; which by a needle, or other fit instrument, were divided into thin and broad leaves, which being dried and fitted, were used at that time for writing, as our paper is; and consequently was a very good commodity. Sown by the brooks; and much more what was sown in more dry and unfruitful places.

Isaiah 19:7

7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
