Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

17. I-Jehovah.

cockatrices-basilisks (Isa 11:8), that is, enemies whose destructive power no means, by persuasion or otherwise, can counteract. Serpent-charmers in the East entice serpents by music, and by a particular pressure on the neck render them incapable of darting (Ps 58:4, 5).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

8:14-22 At length they begin to see the hand of God lifted up. And when God appears against us, every thing that is against us appears formidable. As salvation only can be found in the Lord, so the present moment should be seized. Is there no medicine proper for a sick and dying kingdom? Is there no skilful, faithful hand to apply the medicine? Yes, God is able to help and to heal them. If sinners die of their wounds, their blood is upon their own heads. The blood of Christ is balm in Gilead, his Spirit is the Physician there, all-sufficient; so that the people may be healed, but will not. Thus men die unpardoned and unchanged, for they will not come to Christ to be saved.

Numbers 21:6 The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.

Deuteronomy 32:24 They will be wasted by famine, and consumed by plague And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts I will send upon them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.

Psalm 58:4 They have venom like the venom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,

Psalm 58:5 So that it does not hear the voice of charmers, Or a skillful caster of spells. (NASB ©1995)
