‏ Isaiah 31:1-3

Summary for Isa 31:1-3: 31:1-3  a Isaiah delivered another vision regarding Judah’s negotiations with Egypt, which probably took place in 705–701 BC. During that time, the conquering Assyrians were on the move, threatening Judah. At first, Hezekiah tried political and military means to avert being totally conquered (see 2 Kgs 18:13-16  b). 31:1  c What sorrow: This is the fifth of the six woes (see study note on 28:1–33:24).

• Looking to the Lord implies seeking his guidance with a worshipful attitude (see Deut 4:29  d; Ps 105:3-4  e).
