John Trapp Complete Commentary

Isaiah 8:15

And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

Ver. 15. And many among them shall stumble and fall.] So may God's elect, but not so as to be broken, because they cannot fall below a supporting hand of God. Psa 37:24 Utter prolapsion cannot possibly befall them.

And be broken, and snared, and taken.] The Septuagint here add of their own, And men shall be taken that are in a supposed safety, living as if they were out of the reach of God's rod.
