Commentary on Isaiah 2:6

God's 'forsaking' His people results from their forsaking Him through syncretism—'replenished from the east' suggests adopting foreign religious practices, while 'soothsayers like the Philistines' indicates occult divination prohibited in Torah (Deuteronomy 18:10-14). The phrase 'please themselves in the children of strangers' may denote inter-marriage or commercial alliances that compromise covenant distinctiveness. Divine abandonment is judicial: God gives them over to chosen idolatry (Romans 1:24-28), demonstrating that persistent rebellion leads to covenant judgment.
