Isaiah 31
1. The prophet shows the folly and danger of trusting Egypt, and forsaking God
6. He exhorts to conversion
8. He shows the fall of Assyria














For in that day
This phrase points to a specific time of divine intervention and fulfillment of prophecy. In the Hebrew context, "that day" often refers to a future time when God will act decisively in history. It is a day of reckoning and restoration, a theme prevalent throughout the prophetic books. This phrase sets the stage for a significant shift in the spiritual and physical realities of the people of Israel.

each of you
This emphasizes individual responsibility and personal decision. In the Hebrew culture, while the community was important, there was also a strong sense of personal accountability before God. This phrase underscores that the call to repentance and change is not just corporate but personal, inviting each person to examine their own heart and actions.

will reject
The Hebrew root for "reject" conveys a strong sense of casting away or discarding something deemed worthless or offensive. This action is not passive but a deliberate choice to turn away from sin and idolatry. It reflects a decisive break from past allegiances and a commitment to align with God's will.

the idols of silver and gold
Idols made of precious metals symbolize the allure of wealth and materialism that can lead people away from God. In ancient Israel, these idols were often associated with the surrounding pagan cultures and represented a tangible temptation to forsake the worship of Yahweh. The mention of silver and gold highlights the value and beauty of these idols, making the act of rejection even more significant.

your own hands have sinfully made
This phrase highlights the culpability and active participation of the people in creating their idols. It is a reminder of the human tendency to craft objects of worship that ultimately lead to spiritual downfall. The use of "sinfully" indicates that this is not just a cultural practice but a moral failing, a direct violation of the covenant relationship with God.

for yourselves
The phrase "for yourselves" underscores the self-centered nature of idolatry. It reflects the human inclination to create gods in our own image, serving our desires and ambitions rather than submitting to the true God. This self-serving attitude is at the heart of idolatry, making the call to reject these idols a call to return to a God-centered life.

(7) In that day every man shall cast away . . .--The act is the same as that of Isaiah 2:20, but with a marked difference of motive: there it springs from the terror of despair, here from the repentance which is the ground of hope.

Verse 7. - For in that day every man shall cast away his idols. "In that day" - the day of Assyria's discomfiture - shall the vanity of idols be seen and recognized. They have not helped Assyria. How should they help Judah (comp. Isaiah 30:22)?
