Isaiah17:14

14 And▪ behold at evening-tide trouble, and before the morning he is not : this is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us .

At Even there is a great Terrour and Consternation among God's People, for fear of their Enemies; and ere the Morning cometh, their Enemies are cut off by the Hand of God. This was literally and eminently fulfilled in the Destruction of Sennacherib's Army before Ierusalem. Although the Words may be more generally understood of any great and sudden Change, and unexpected Deliverance, granted to God's People, when their Enemies were ready to devour them. And this Place may be compared with that in Psal. 30. 5.—weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

This is a triumphant Conclusion, uttered by the Prophet in the name of God's People.
