Isaiah 31:3 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

Not spirit - not of divine power (Psalms 56:4; Psalms 146:3; Psalms 146:5; Zechariah 4:6).

Both he that helpeth shall fall - Egypt.

And he that is holpen - Judah.

Isaiah 31:3

3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
