Commentary

Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, David Brown’s Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary (1871)

(vv. 12)

12. Fulfilled when Nebuchadnezzar (God’s sword, Is 10:5) conquered Egypt, with which Ethiopia was closely connected as its ally (Jr 46:2-9; Eze 30:5-9). Ye--literally, “They.” The third person expresses estrangement; while doomed before God’s tribunal in the second person, they are spoken of in the third as aliens from God.
