your covenant: Isaiah 7:7, Isaiah 8:10, Jeremiah 44:28, Ezekiel 17:15, Zechariah 1:6

shall be disannulled: For kuppar Houbigant, Archbp. Secker, and Bp. Lowth, would read tuppar; but the former may well have the sense ascribed to it here, as it signifies in Chaldee and Syriac, abstersit, diluit, abolevit.

when: Isaiah 2:15, Isaiah 8:8, Jeremiah 47:2, Daniel 8:9-13, Daniel 9:26, Daniel 9:27, Daniel 11:40, Revelation 12:15, Revelation 17:15

trodden down by it: Heb. a treading down to it, Isaiah 28:3, Malachi 4:1-3

Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 13:5 - prophet Job 40:8 - disannul Ecclesiastes 8:8 - neither Isaiah 5:5 - trodden down Isaiah 16:6 - but Isaiah 30:28 - an overflowing Isaiah 59:6 - webs Jeremiah 19:7 - I will make Lamentations 1:15 - trodden Galatians 3:17 - cannot

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And your covenant with death shall be disannulled,.... Or, "be besmeared" x, or daubed over, as the ark was with pitch, Genesis 6:14 where the same word is used as here; so that it shall not be legible, as any writing that is blotted out by ink, or any other liquor, so that it cannot be read; in like manner this their covenant with death should be so obliterated, that the articles of it could not be made out, and so of no force; thus the Targum renders it,

"shall be made void;''

Genesis 6:14- ::

and your agreement with hell shall not stand; or "vision", or "provision" y; which they had made by compact, with the greatest care, caution, and foresight, to secure themselves from destruction, would be found insufficient. The Targum is,

"and our peace, which was with the destroyer, shall not stand;''

Genesis 6:14- ::

when the overflowing scourge shall pass through: the land of Judea and the city of Jerusalem; Genesis 6:14- ::

then shall ye be trodden down by it: though they flattered themselves it should not come near them, yet it would; and they would not be able to stand before it, but would be thrown down, and trampled upon by it as the mire of the streets; see Luke 21:24.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And your covenant with death - (see the note at Isaiah 28:15).

Shall be disannulled - The word rendered ‘shall be disannulled,’ (וכפר v^ekupar from כפר kâphar), properly means “to cover, overlay;” then to pardon, forgive; then to make atonement, to expiate. It has the idea of blotting out, forgiving, and obliterating - because a writing in wax was obliterated or “covered” by passing the “stylus” over it. Hence, also, the idea of abolishing, or rendering nought, which is the idea here. “When the overflowing scourge” (see the note at Isaiah 28:15).

Then ye shall be trodden down by it - There is in this verse a great intermingling of metaphor, not less than three figures being employed to denote the calamity. There is first the scourge, an instrument of punishment; there is then the idea of inundating waters or floods; then there is also the idea of a warrior or an invading army that treads down an enemy. All the images are designed to denote essentially the same thing, that the judgments of God would come upon the land, and that nothing in which they had trusted would constitute a refuge.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 28:18. Your covenant with death shall be disannulled - "Your covenant with death shall be broken"] For כפר caphar, which seems not to belong to this place, the Chaldee reads תפר taphar, which is approved by Houbigant and Secker. See Jeremiah 33:21, where the very same phrase is used. See Prelim. Dissert. p. l.
