Calvin, in his Commentary on Isaiah, has left us an excellent exposition and application of Isaiah 30:1-18. This Appendix comprises an annotated selection from that work. Judah had sinned. Calvin saw two strands to God‟s exposure of Judah‟s sin: First, it is no light offence, but wicked obstinacy, [for the people of Israel] to disregard and even despise God‟s government, and follow their own inclinations. [Moreover,] God had strictly forbidden [Israel] to enter into any alliance or league with the Egyptians (Ex. 13:17; Deut. 17:16). There were chiefly two causes of this prohibition. One was general, and related to alliances and leagues with other nations; for God did not wish that his people should be corrupted by the superstitions of the Gentiles (Ex. 23:32; 34:15; Deut. 7:2).
