I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Saba for thee; That is, when Sennacherib made his Expedition against Judah and Jerusalem, to destroy and lay it waste, 1ego effeci ut pro Judaea Sennacheribo objiceretur Ethiopia, Egyptus & Saba quasi victima piacularis loco Judeae ab eo mactanda. I caused him to return from Judah and Jerusalem, and I diverted his Expedition upon Ethiopia and Egypt, and gave them as piacular Sacrifices, to be offered up to divine Justice, instead of Jerusalem: I gave Egypt for thy ransom. And thus God did once and again, as I might show you had I time, out of Isai. 37.9,37. prophesied of, Isa. 20.4. According to that of the Proverbs 11.8. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
