Isaiah2:6

6. Therefore--rather, "For": reasons why there is the more need of the exhortation in Is 2:5.

thou--transition to Jehovah: such rapid transitions are natural, when the mind is full of a subject.

replenished--rather, filled, namely, with the superstitions of the East, Syria, and Chaldea.

soothsayers--forbidden (De 18:10-14).

Philistines--southwest of Palestine: antithesis to "the east."

please themselves--rather, join hands with, that is, enter into alliances, matrimonial and national: forbidden (Ex 23:32; Ne 13:23, &c.).
