John Trapp on Isaiah 9:8

Ver. 8. The Lord f[illegible: 1 letter]r[illegible: 1 letter] a word into Jacob] He ſent it as a ſhaft out of a bow, that will be ſure to hit. God loveth to premoniſh: but woe be to thoſe that will not be warned. The Septuagint render it The Lord ſent a plague, or Death into Jacob; and indeed after the white horſe followeth the red and the black, Revel. 6.2, 4, 5. Like as Tamerlan, that warlike Scythian, diſplayed firſt a white flag in token of mercy, and then a red, menacing and threatning blood: and then, laſtly, a black flag, the meſſenger and enſign of death was hung abroad.

And it hath lighted upon Iſrael.] 1. They were not ignorant of ſuch a word, ver. 9.2. They could neither avert, nor avoid his wrath.
