Isaiah 28:18 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Disannulled ( wªkupar (H3722)) - obliterated, as letters traced on a waxen tablet are obliterated by passing the stilus over it. The overflowing scourge ... trodden down by it - passing from the metaphor in "scourge" to the thing meant-the army which treads down its enemies.

Isaiah 28:18

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
