The "valiant ones" likely refer to the warriors or leaders of Judah, who are expected to be strong and courageous. Their crying aloud in the streets indicates a situation of overwhelming defeat or calamity. Historically, this could be linked to the Assyrian threat under King Sennacherib, which posed a significant danger to Jerusalem. The public display of emotion by these leaders suggests a breakdown of societal order and a recognition of their inability to protect the city. This imagery contrasts with the typical role of valiant warriors, who are usually silent and composed in the face of danger.<p><b>the envoys of peace weep bitterly.</b><br>The "envoys of peace" are likely diplomats or messengers sent to negotiate terms of peace or surrender. Their bitter weeping suggests that their efforts have failed, leading to despair. This could reflect the historical context of failed negotiations with Assyria, where attempts to buy peace with tribute were unsuccessful. The weeping of the envoys underscores the futility of relying on human diplomacy and alliances instead of trusting in God. This theme is echoed in other parts of Isaiah, where reliance on foreign powers is criticized (<a href="/isaiah/30.htm">Isaiah 30:1-3</a>). The bitter weeping also foreshadows the ultimate peace brought by the Messiah, who is the true Prince of Peace (<a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/v/valiant_ones.htm">Valiant Ones</a></b><br>These are the warriors or leaders who are typically strong and courageous.

Having "sketched the main outlines of his revelation," Isaiah proceeds to "fill in and apply the details" (Cheyne). He first describes the despair and low condition of Judah: the men of war wailing aloud; the ambassadors just returned kern Laehish weeping at the ill success of their embassy; all travelling stopped; the land wasted and made a desert; the Assyrians still ravaging and destroying, despite the peace which had been made (<a href="/2_kings/18-14.htm">2 Kings 18:14-16</a>). Then suddenly he sees Jehovah rousing himself (ver. 10), and the Assyrians con-stoned, as if with a fire (vers. 11, 12). <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 7.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without</span>.

They raise a cry of mourning in the streets, with child-like effusiveness (comp. Herod., 8:99; 9:24). <span class="cmt_word">The ambassadors of peace</span>. Hezekiah probably sent several embassies to Sennacherib in the course of the war. One went to Lachish, offering submission, in <span class="date">B.C. 701</span> (<a href="/2_kings/18-14.htm">2 Kings 18:14</a>); another to Nineveh, with tribute and presents, in the same or the following year (<a href="/2_kings/18-15.htm">2 Kings 18:15</a>; comp. 'Eponym Canon,' p. 135). A third probably sought to deprecate Sennacherib's auger, when he made his second invasion (<a href="/2_kings/18-17.htm">2 Kings 18:17</a>) in <span class="date">B.C. 699</span> (?).
