Isaiah 9:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones. It is true, we have received some damages from our enemies; but Rezin and the Syrians being now our friends and confederates, we doubt not we shall quickly repair them with great glory and advantage. Sycomores; wild fig trees, a contemptible sort of trees, if compared with cedars, 1 Kings 10:27. We will change them into cedars; putting cedars into our buildings instead of sycomores. See Jeremiah 22:13,15.

Isaiah 9:10

10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
