Isaiah31:2
2. Yet he also is wise , and will bring evil , and will not call back his words : but will arise against the house of evil doers , and against the help of them that work iniquity.
You think you are wise, and act wisely in ingaging the Egyptians, who are a wise and warlike People, to help you; but God is not inferiour to them in Wisdome nor in Strength, but much their Superior; and therefore you have done foolishly, and wickedly in preferring them before Him.
Will execute His Judgments upon you, notwithstanding all that you, or your Allies the Egyptians, can do to hinder it
His Threatnings denounced against you, but will infallibly Execute them.
Though at present He sit still, yet He will bestir himself and Fight.
Against this wicked and rebellious People of the Iews.
The helpers, as it is explained in the next Verse: The Abstract being put for the Concrete.
Marginal references: Heb. remove.
