The Irony of Misplaced Trust
Commentators unanimously highlight the profound irony in this verse. King Ahaz, rejecting God's direct promise of protection, chose to trust in a political alliance with the king of Assyria. Isaiah reveals that this very source of 'help' would become the instrument of Judah's greatest disaster, a stark warning that relying on human solutions over God's promises can lead to ruin.
