A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
They . . . that erred-- (Isa 28:7).

learn doctrine--rather, "shall receive discipline" or "instruction." "Murmuring" was the characteristic of Israel's rebellion against God (Exo 16:8; Psa 106:25). This shall be so no more. Chastisements, and, in HORSLEY'S view, the piety of the Gentiles provoking the Jews to holy jealousy (Rom 11:11, Rom 11:14), shall then produce the desired effect.

Jewish ambassadors were now on their way to Egypt to seek aid against Assyria (Isa 30:2-6, Isa 30:15; Isa 31:1). Isaiah denounces this reliance on Egypt rather than on Jehovah. God had prohibited such alliances with heathen nations, and it was a leading part of Jewish polity that they should be a separate people (Exo 23:32; Deu 7:2).

2 And when the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall deliver [05414] them before [06440] thee; thou shalt smite [05221] them, and utterly [02763] destroy [02763] them; thou shalt make [03772] no covenant [01285] with them, nor shew mercy [02603] unto them:
32 Thou shalt make [03772] no covenant [01285] with them, nor with their gods [0430].
1 Woe [01945] to them that go down [03381] to Egypt [04714] for help [05833]; and stay [08172] on horses [05483], and trust [0982] in chariots [07393], because they are many [07227]; and in horsemen [06571], because they are very [03966] strong [06105]; but they look [08159] not unto the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], neither seek [01875] the LORD [03068]!
15 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]; In returning [07729] and rest [05183] shall ye be saved [03467]; in quietness [08252] and in confidence [0985] shall be your strength [01369]: and ye would [014] not.
2 That walk [01980] to go down [03381] into Egypt [04714], and have not asked [07592] at my mouth [06310]; to strengthen [05810] themselves in the strength [04581] of Pharaoh [06547], and to trust [02620] in the shadow [06738] of Egypt [04714]!
3 Therefore shall the strength [04581] of Pharaoh [06547] be your shame [01322], and the trust [02622] in the shadow [06738] of Egypt [04714] your confusion [03639].
4 For his princes [08269] were at Zoan [06814], and his ambassadors [04397] came [05060] to Hanes [02609].
5 They were all ashamed [03001] of a people [05971] that could not profit [03276] them, nor be an help [05828] nor profit [03276], but a shame [01322], and also a reproach [02781].
6 The burden [04853] of the beasts [0929] of the south [05045]: into the land [0776] of trouble [06869] and anguish [06695], from whence come the young [03833] and old lion [03918], the viper [0660] and fiery [08314] flying [05774] serpent [08314], they will carry [05375] their riches [02428] upon the shoulders [03802] of young asses [05895], and their treasures [0214] upon the bunches [01707] of camels [01581], to a people [05971] that shall not profit [03276] them.
14 If by any means [1513] [4458] I may provoke to emulation [3863] them which are my [3450] flesh [4561], and [2532] might save [4982] some [5100] of [1537] them [846].
11 I say [3004] then [3767], [3361] Have they stumbled [4417] that [2443] they should fall [4098]? God forbid [3361] [1096]: but [235] rather through their [846] fall [3900] salvation [4991] is come unto the Gentiles [1484], for to [1519] provoke [3863] them [846] to jealousy [3863].
25 But murmured [07279] in their tents [0168], and hearkened [08085] not unto the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068].
8 And Moses [04872] said [0559], This shall be, when the LORD [03068] shall give [05414] you in the evening [06153] flesh [01320] to eat [0398], and in the morning [01242] bread [03899] to the full [07646]; for that the LORD [03068] heareth [08085] your murmurings [08519] which ye murmur [03885] against him: and what are we [05168]? your murmurings [08519] are not against us, but against the LORD [03068].
7 But they [0428] also have erred [07686] through wine [03196], and through strong drink [07941] are out of the way [08582]; the priest [03548] and the prophet [05030] have erred [07686] through strong drink [07941], they are swallowed up [01104] of [04480] wine [03196], they are out of the way [08582] through strong drink [07941]; they err [07686] in vision [07203], they stumble [06328] in judgment [06417].
9 Stay [04102] yourselves, and wonder [08539]; cry ye out [08173], and cry [08173]: they are drunken [07937], but not with wine [03196]; they stagger [05128], but not with strong drink [07941].
10 For the LORD [03068] hath poured out [05258] upon you the spirit [07307] of deep sleep [08639], and hath closed [06105] your eyes [05869]: the prophets [05030] and your rulers [07218], the seers [02374] hath he covered [03680].
