Isaiah 20:6

And the inhabitant -The dwellers generally. Of this isle -The wordאי'iy“isle” is used here in the sense of “coast, or maritime” country, and is evidently applied to Palestine, or the land of Canaan, which is a narrow coast lying on the Mediterranean. That the word is often used in this sense, and may be applied to a maritime country, see the notes atIsaiah 13:22;Isaiah 41:1. The connection here requires us to understand it of Palestine. Shall say ... -Shall condemn their own folly in trusting in Egypt, and seeking deliverance there. And how shall we escape? -They shall be alarmed for their own safety, for the very nation on which they had relied had been made captive.
