“And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.”
And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their confidence, and of Egypt their glory—the removal of confidence in the Egyptian and Ethiopian alliance, as these nations are shown to be powerless before Assyria. The shift in trust away from human powers suggests reliance on God alone. This verse indicates the result of the sign-act: the abandonment of reliance on Egyptian-Ethiopian alliance.
