Isaiah 10:11

The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 10:11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Shall I not … so do to Jerusalem and her idols? The speaker ignores the fact of any difference in kind between the religion of Judaea and that of the neighboring countries. He speaks as if he knew nothing of any religion without idols.

No doubt Assyrian ideas on the subject of the religion of the Jews were at this time, as they were even later (), exceedingly vague and incorrect.
