Definitions for Isaiah 30:5
Clarke's Isaiah 30:5 Bible Commentary
Were - ashamed - Eight MSS. (one ancient) of Kennicott's, and ten of De Rossi's, read הביש hobish, without א aleph. So the Chaldee and Vulgate.
But a shame "But proved even a shame" - Four MSS. (three ancient) after כי ki, add אם im, unless, which seems wanted to complete the phrase in its usual form.
Barnes's Isaiah 30:5 Bible Commentary
They were all ashamed - That is, all the legates or ambassadors. When they came into Egypt, they found them either unwilling to enter into an alliance, or unable to render them any aid, and they were ashamed that they had sought their assistance rather than depend on God (compare Jeremiah 2:36).
Wesley's Isaiah 30:5 Bible Commentary
30:5 They - Both the messengers, and they who sent them.
