Isaiah 21:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 21:15

For they fled from the swords
Of their enemy, whom they could not withstand; perhaps the Assyrian army: from the drawn sword;
just ready to be sheathed in them: and from the bent bow;
just going to let the arrow fly at them: and from the grievousness of war:
too heavy for them to bear.
