Isaiah 28:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Be ye not mockers; for your own sakes do not make a mock of God's word and threatenings, as you use to do. Lest your bands be made strong; lest thereby you make the judgments of God, which are oft compared to bands, as Psalms 66:11, Psalms 73:4, and elsewhere, more sure and unavoidable, and more severe and terrible, as bands are when they are tied faster and more strongly upon a prisoner. I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth; God hath assured me that he will utterly root out and destroy the people of Israel; as indeed he did in Hezekiah's reign.

Isaiah 28:22

22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
