Celakalah orang-orang yang pergi ke Mesir minta pertolongan, yang mengandalkan kuda-kuda, yang percaya kepada keretanya yang begitu banyak, dan kepada pasukan berkuda yang begitu besar jumlahnya, tetapi tidak memandang kepada Yang Mahakudus, Allah Israel, dan tidak mencari TUHAN.

Alkitab Terjemahan Lama
Wai bagi segala orang yang turun ke Mesir akan meminta tolong, yang bersandar pada kuda dan harap pada rata, sebab banyak adanya, dan pada orang berkendaraan, sebab limpah bilangannya, dan tiada mereka itu memandang kepada Yang Mahasuci orang Israel, dan tiada mereka itu bertanya akan Tuhan!

Contextual Overview

¹ Wo be vnto them that go downe into Egypt for helpe, and trust in horses, and put their confidence in charrets because they be many, and in horsemen because they be lustie and strong: but they regarde not the holy one of Israel, and they aske no question at the Lorde. ² And he neuerthelesse is wise, and will plague the wicked, and goeth not from his worde, he wyll aryse against the housholde of the frowarde, and against the helpe of euyll doers. ³ Nowe the Egyptians are men and not God, and their horses fleshe, and not spirite: And assoone as the Lord stretcheth out his hande, then shall the helper fall and he that shoulde haue ben helped, and they shall altogether be destroyed. ⁴ For thus hath the Lorde spoken vnto me: Lyke as the lion and lions whelpe roareth vpon the pray that he hath gotten, and is not afraide though the multitude of shepheardes crye out vpon him, neither be abashed for all the heape of them: so shall the Lorde of hoastes come downe to fight for mount Sion, and defende his hyll. ⁵ Like as the byrdes flutter about their nestes, so shall the Lorde of hoastes, kepe, saue, defende, and deliuer Hierusalem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help,.... Or, "O ye that go down", c. what poor foolish creatures are you! And in the end what miserable and wretched ones will ye be! Such were the Jewish rulers and people, who either went themselves, or sent ambassadors to the king of Egypt, to supply them with men and horses against the king of Assyria, contrary to the express command of God, which forbid them returning to Egypt; and which showed their unmindfulness of deliverance from thence, and their not having a due sense of that mercy upon them; as well as their so doing exposed them to the danger of being drawn into the superstitions and idolatries of that people:

and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they] are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; having their dependence upon, and placing their confidence in, the strength and numbers of the cavalry of the Egyptians:

but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord; they did not look unto the Lord with an eye of faith, nor seek him by prayer and supplication; or ask any counsel or instruction of him, as the Targum paraphrases the last clause; so that their sin lay not only in their confidence in the creature, but in their neglect of the Lord himself; and so all such persons are foolish and miserable, that trust in an arm of flesh, that place their confidence in creature acts, in their own righteousness, duties, and services, and have no regard to the Holy One of Israel, to the holiness and righteousness of Christ, neglect that, and do not submit to it; thus the Targum interprets the former clause of the Word of the Holy One of Israel, the essential Word Christ.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Wo - (see the note at Isaiah 30:1).

To them that go down to Egypt - (see the note at Isaiah 30:2).

And stay on horses - (see the note at Isaiah 30:16).

And trust in chariots - (see the note at Isaiah 21:7). That they were often used in war, is apparent from the following places Joshua 11:4; Judges 1:19; 1 Samuel 13:5; 2 Samuel 8:4.

Because they are many - Because they hope to secure the aid of many. See the references above. It is evident that their confidence in them would be in proportion to the number which they could bring into the field.

But they look not ... - (see the note at Isaiah 30:1)

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXI

The Jews again reproved for their confidence in Egypt, finely

contrasted with their neglect of the power and protection of

God, 1-3.

Deliverance and protection are, notwithstanding, promised,

expressed by two similes; the first remarkably lofty and

poetical, the latter singularly beautiful and tender, 4, 5.

Exhortation to repentance, joined with the prediction of a more

reformed period, 6, 7.

This chapter concludes like the preceding, with a prophecy of

the fall of Sennacherib, 8, 9.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXXI

Verse Isaiah 31:1. Wo to them that go down to Egypt — This is a reproof to the Israelites for forming an alliance with the Egyptians, and not trusting in the Lord.
