Isaiah 2:6

Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people— The prophet here begins his complaint of the present state of the Jewish nation; which contains, First, His proposition of its present state, as forsaken by God;—in this verse. Secondly, A demonstration of it from the vices which reigned in this nation; which were, a desire of foreign instructions, Isaiah 2:6. Pride and covetousness, Isaiah 2:7. Idolatry, Isaiah 2:8. The proposition is a kind of apostrophe, or complaint,—the prophet turning his discourse to God,—to teach, that God's forsaking them was a consequence of the vices reigning among them. Vitringa. It is well known how much sooth-saying prevailed in the east.
