Isaiah31:6

6. Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted .

Let the consideration of this gracious Promise ingage you to repent of your carnal Policies, in seeking and trusting to Egypt for Help, and sincerely to return to God.

Either 1. the Israelites, strictly so called, who are now utterly Destroyed for their Apostacy; and therefore take heed that you do not follow their Example. Or 2. you Iews, who are the Children of Israel: which Title, he here gives them, partly to admonish them of their great and many Obligations to God; and partly to aggravate the Sin of their Apostacy.

In neglecting and forsaking Him, and seeking to Egypt for Help; which he calls a deep revolt, partly because it was an hainous Sin, being contrary to God's express Command, and highly dishonourable to God: And partly because it was carried on with deep Dissimulation, and with a publick Profession of cleaving to God, and with a design of Seeking deep to hide this their counsel from the Lord, wherewith He charged this People, Isa. 29. 15.
