Isaiah 28:15-18
made ........................... made <03772 07760> [We have.]
To be in covenant with a thing, says Bp. Lowth, is a proverbial expression to denote perfect security from mischief or evil of which it is the cause.
<07857> [when.]
made ........................... made <03772 07760> [we have made.]
maintains <03245> [Behold.]
faith <0539> [he that.]
justice <04941> [Judgment.]
hail <01259> [and the hail.]
floodwaters <04325> [and the waters.]
treaty <01285> [your covenant.]
dissolved <03722> [shall be disannulled.]
For {kuppar,} Houbigant, Archbp. Secker, and Bp. Lowth, would read {tuppar;} but the former may well have the sense ascribed to it here, as it signifies in Chaldee and Syriac, {abstersit, diluit, abolevit.}
overwhelming <07857> [when.]
overrun <04823> [trodden down by it. Heb. a treading down to it.]
