Isaiah 2:6

     6. Therefore—rather, "For": reasons why there is the more need of the exhortation in Isa 2:5.

      thou—transition to Jehovah: such rapid transitions are natural, when the mind is full of a subject.

      replenished—rather, filled, namely, with the superstitions of the East, Syria, and Chaldea.

      soothsayers—forbidden (De 18:10-14).

      Philistines—southwest of Palestine: antithesis to "the east."

      please themselves—rather, join hands with, that is, enter into alliances, matrimonial and national: forbidden (Ex 23:32; Ne 13:23, &c.).
