| Isaiah 31:8 | *And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of a man; and the sword, not of a man, shall devour him; and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries: Isaias 27:36.; 4 Kings 19:35.; 2 Paralipomenon 32:21. | Flee not. Hebrew, "flee to himself," lo. Septuagint and Vulgate have read la, "not." The angel destroyed the army, and the king was slain at his return. --- Tributaries. Ninive being afterwards subject to the Chaldeans, etc. (Calmet) --- Hebrew, "shall melt." (Vatable) |
