Wo, - (see the note at Isa 18:1). To the rebellious children - To those whom he had nourished as children, and who had rebelled against him (see the note at Isa 1:23). That take counsel, but not of me - They look to Egypt, and depend on a human arm. And that cover with a covering - The idea here, according to our translation, is, that they seek protection or a covering from the impending calamity.

Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

Cover - That seek protection. But not - Not such as by my spirit, speaking in my word, I have required them to do. That they may add - That unto all their sins, they may add distrust of my power and mercy, and put confidence in an arm of flesh.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

And those that had abused God's mercies to them, making them the fuel of their lusts, abused their afflictions too, making them an excuse for their distrust of God; and so they make bad worse, and add sin to sin; and those that do so, as they make their own chain heavy, so it is just with God to make their plagues wonderful.
