Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - Behold, they shall surely gather together, etc.; rather, behold, should they gather themselves together; i.e. should enemies collect and threaten thee with harm, be assured that the attack is not by me - not my doing - and that, therefore, it will come to nought. All those who gather together against thee shall fall - i.e. stumble and be overthrown - through striking against thee. The rendering of the Authorized Version, "for thy sake," is quite indefensible.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) But not by me . . .--Another contrast with Isaiah's experience. The power of Sargon and Sennacherib rested on the fact that they were instruments in God's hands (Isaiah 10:15; Isaiah 37:26). Against the new Jerusalem no command would be given such as had been given to them.
