📚 Historical Context

Isaiah was warning the people of Judah about trusting in Egypt's military help instead of trusting in God. The leaders were making political alliances with Egypt to protect themselves from Assyria, but God was telling them that He would judge both the evildoers in Judah and their Egyptian allies who were helping them in their disobedience.
