Isaiah 31:2

Context

31:2 Yet he too is wise 1  and he will bring disaster;

he does not retract his decree. 2 

He will attack the wicked nation, 3 

and the nation that helps 4  those who commit sin. 5 

1 sn This statement appears to have a sarcastic tone. The royal advisers who are advocating an alliance with Egypt think they are wise, but the Lord possesses wisdom as well and will thwart their efforts.

2 tn Heb “and he does not turn aside [i.e., “retract”] his words”; NIV “does not take back his words.”

3 tn Heb “and he will arise against the house of the wicked.”

4 sn That is, Egypt.

5 tn Heb “and against the help of the doers of sin.”
