Isaiah3:2
2. Fulfilled (2Ki 24:14).
prudent--the Hebrew often means a "soothsayer" (De 18:10-14); thus it will mean, the diviners, on whom they rely, shall in that day fail. It is found in a good sense (Pr 16:10), from which passage the Jews interpret it a king; "without" whom Israel long has been (Ho 3:4).
ancient--old and experienced (1Ki 12:6-8).
