isaiah 2:6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. - Free Bible Online

isaiah 2:6 For Thou hast abandoned Thy people, the house of Jacob, Because they are filled [with influences] from the east, And [they are] soothsayers like the Philistines, And they strike [bargains] with the children of foreigners.


      6. Therefore--rather, "For": reasons why there is the more need of the exhortation in Isa 2:5.
      thou--transition to Jehovah: such rapid transitions are natural, when the mind is full of a subject.
      replenished--rather, filled, namely, with the superstitions of the East, Syria, and Chaldea.
      soothsayers--forbidden (De 18:10-14).
      Philistines--southwest of Palestine: antithesis to "the east."
      please themselves--rather, join hands with, that is, enter into alliances, matrimonial and national: forbidden (Ex 23:32; Ne 13:23, &c.).
