Notes
Two titles usually meant for Israel, My people and My handiwork (see Isaiah 29:22; 32:18), are used here for foreign nations. The Lord promised to consider those from other nations who turn to him as his special possession (Isaiah 63:17).
The new Egypt would receive a place in God’s purposes together with Assyria and Israel.
See also Jeremiah 46; Ezekiel 29–32.
This section includes predictions of judgment against Damascus, Israel, Ethiopia, and Egypt. The scene shifts from the crisis in 734 BC (the alliance of Syria and Israel; see study note on Isaiah 7:1–25) to the Assyrian crisis in 701 BC (see Isaiah 36–37).
