Isaiah30:28
28. (Is 11:4; 2Th 2:8).
reach ... neck--the most extreme danger; yet as the head, or capital of Judah, was to be spared (Is 8:8), so the head, or sovereign of Assyria, Sennacherib, should escape.
sieve of vanity--Rather, "the winnowing fan of destruction" [Lowth] (Is 41:16).
bridle in ... jaws--as prisoners are represented in the Assyrian inscriptions (Is 37:29).
causing ... to err--(Is 63:17). "People," Hebrew, "peoples," namely, the various races composing the Assyrian armies (Is 5:26).
