Isaiah 30:8-17

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

A RENEWAL OF THREATENING. The denunciation of the Egyptian alliance had been made viva voce, in the courts of the temple or in some other place of public resort. As he ended, Isaiah received a Divine intimation that the prophecy was to be put on record, doubly, upon a tablet and in a book.

At the same time, the "rebelliousness" of the people was further pointed out, and fresh threats (verses 13, 14, and 17) were uttered against them.
