イザヤ書 17:11 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 17:9-11

Here the prophet returns to foretel the woeful desolations that should be made in the land of Israel by the army of the Assyrians. 1. That the cities should be deserted. Even the strong cities, which should have protected the country, shall not be able to protect themselves: They shall be as a forsaken bough and an uppermost branch of an old tree, which has gone to decay, is forsaken of its leaves, and appears on the top of the tree, bare, and dry, and dead; so shall their strong cities look... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 17:11

In the day shall thou make thy plant to grow ,.... Not that it is in the power of man to make it grow; but the sense is, that all means and methods should be used to make it grow, no cost nor pains should be spared: and in the morning shall thou make thy seed to flourish ; which may denote both diligence in the early care of it, and seeming promising success; and yet all should be in vain, and to no purpose: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief ; or "of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 17:4-11

A DENUNCIATION OF WOE ON ISRAEL , COMBINED WITH THE PROMISE OF A REMNANT . Israel, having united herself with Syria to resist the Assyrians, will incur a similar fate. Her glory will decay, her population dwindle and almost disappear. Still there will be a few left, who, under the circumstances, will turn to God ( Isaiah 17:7 ). But it will be too late for anything like a national recovery; the laud will remain "a desolation" on account of the past sins of its... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 17:6-11

National repentance may come too late to avert national ruin. The crisis of a nation's fate is brought on by slow degrees, and results from a multitude of acts, each one of which, when once done, is past recall. Up to a certain point there is a possibility of retrieval. "Tout peut se retablir," as a great monarch of our own time said. The modes of action that have brought the state into difficulties may be renounced, or even reversed; and recovery may set in as a natural consequence of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 17:9-11

Forgetfulness of God and its consequences. I. GOD AS AN OBJECT OF THE SOUL 'S ATTENTION . He is the "God of men's salvation." His Name calls up all those ideas of power, of grace, of goodness, necessary to the Deliverer, the Savior. To acknowledge that such a Being exists is not enough; the eye of the spirit must be turned to him, its gaze fixed upon him, its ear bent towards the place of his holy oracle. Micah says in evil times, "I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 17:10-11

The sin and doom of ungodliness. We learn— I. THAT GOD IS WRONGED AND GRIEVED BY OUR NEGLECT OF HIMSELF AS WELL AS BY OUR DISOBEDIENCE TO HIS LAWS . Men sometimes mistakenly suppose that their sin is limited by the number of their transgressions of God's positive enactments. They make a very serious mistake in so judging. Great guilt, indeed, is contracted by the breach of Divine commandment, by setting at defiance the "Thou shalt not" of sacred... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 17:11

In the day ; or, in a day (Kay). Shalt thou make ; rather, thou makest . Each new slip that is planted is forced to take root and grow and flourish at once; the next morning it is expected to have formed its seed and reached perfection. So the harvest is hurried on; but when it is reached, the day of visitation has arrived—a day of grief and of desperate sorrow. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 17:11

The mission of disappointment; or, disappointment used as a Divine judgment. In this passage is presented the case of unrewarded toil. Seed is sown, blades spring up, there is every prospect of harvest; but all hopes are disappointed, the harvest proved a failure—it was "a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow." One special feature of the discipline of life is the disappointment of our most cherished hopes and expectations. We build our castles on some new enterprise, and at first... read more

In the day ... - Thou shalt cultivate it assiduously and constantly. Thou shalt be at special pains that it may be watered and pruned, in order that it may produce abundantly.And in the morning - With early care and attention - denoting the pains that would be bestowed on the young plant.The harvest shall be a heap - The margin reads this, ‘the harvest shall be removed in the day of inheritance, rendering it as if the word נד nêd usually meaning a heap, were derived from נוד nûd, to shake,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 17:10-11

Isaiah 17:10-11. Because thou, O Israel, hast forgotten the God of thy salvation That God, who was thy only sure defence; therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants Fetched from far countries, and therefore highly esteemed. The sense is, Thou shalt use much industry and cost, but to no purpose, as it follows. In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, &c. Beginning early in the morning, thou shalt, from day to day, use all care and diligence, that what thou hast planted and sown... read more
