Isaia 28:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 28:18

And your covenant with death shall be disannulled
Or, "be besmeared" F24, or daubed over, as the ark was with pitch, ( Genesis 6:14 ) where the same word is used as here; so that it shall not be legible, as any writing that is blotted out by ink, or any other liquor, so that it cannot be read; in like manner this their covenant with death should be so obliterated, that the articles of it could not be made out, and so of no force; thus the Targum renders it,

``shall be made void;''
(See Gill on Isaiah 28:15): and your agreement with hell shall not stand;
or "vision", or "provision" F25; which they had made by compact, with the greatest care, caution, and foresight, to secure themselves from destruction, would be found insufficient. The Targum is,
``and our peace, which was with the destroyer, shall not stand;''
(See Gill on Isaiah 28:15): when the overflowing scourge shall pass through:
the land of Judea and the city of Jerusalem; (See Gill on Isaiah 28:15): then shall ye be trodden down by it:
though they flattered themselves it should not come near them, yet it would; and they would not be able to stand before it, but would be thrown down, and trampled upon by it as the mire of the streets; see ( Luke 21:24 ) .

Isaia 28:18 In-Context

16 Perciò così parla il Signore, l’Eterno: "Ecco, io ho posto come fondamento in Sion, una pietra, una pietra provata, una pietra angolare preziosa, un fondamento solido; chi confiderà in essa non avrà fretta di fuggire.
17 Io prenderò il diritto per livello, e la giustizia per piombino; la grandine spazzerà via il rifugio di menzogna, e le acque inonderanno il vostro ricetto.
18 La vostra alleanza con la morte sarà annullata, e il vostro patto con il soggiorno de’ morti non reggerà; quando l’inondante flagello passerà, voi sarete da essi calpestati.
19 Ogni volta che passerà, vi afferrerà: poiché passerà mattina dopo mattina, di giorno e di notte; e sarà spaventevole imparare una tal lezione!
20 Poiché il letto sarà troppo corto per distendervisi e la coperta troppo stretta per avvolgervisi.
