イザヤ書 24:6-7 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-12

It is a very dark and melancholy scene that this prophecy presents to our view; turn our eyes which way we will, every thing looks dismal. The threatened desolations are here described in a great variety of expressions to the same purport, and all aggravating. I. The earth is stripped of all its ornaments and looks as if it were taken off its basis; it is made empty and waste (Isa. 24:1), as if it were reduced to its first chaos, Tohu and Bohu, nothing but confusion and emptiness again (Gen.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:6

Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth ,.... The inhabitants of it, and the fruits upon it, alluding to the earth being cursed for the sin of man, when it brought forth briers and thorns; this may denote the seven vials of God's wrath poured upon the earth, or the antichristian states. Some, by the curse, understand perjury or false swearing; so the Targum, "therefore, because of perjury (or a false oath) the earth is become a desert;' of which popes, and Popish princes, cardinals,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:7

The new wine mourneth ,.... For want men to drink it, or because spilled by the enemy; or the inhabitants of the land mourn for want of it, not having their vintages as usual: the vine languisheth ; or is sickly, and so barren and unfruitful, does not bring forth its clusters of grapes as it used to do; there being none to prune it, and take care of it, and being trodden down by hostile forces. The Targum is, "all that drink wine shall mourn, because the vines are broken down.' So... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-12

The charge and the calamity. These words give a vivid and a terrible picture of calamity that should befall the people of God. It is suitably called "the curse" ( Isaiah 24:6 ), for it should prove an evil of the severest kind; and it would be other than a national misfortune—it would be the penalty of sin: therefore , because of the sins charged against the nation ( Isaiah 24:5 ), these multiplied sorrows would overtake and overwhelm them; "for the Lord hath spoken this word" ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-20

God's final judgment upon the earth. In striking contrast with man's self-complacent theories of continual progress and improvement in the world, resulting in something like the final perfection of our race, is God's prophetic announcement that, as the years roll on, mankind will go from bad to worse, plunge deeper and deeper into wickedness, bring calamity after calamity upon themselves, and finally so provoke him that he will destroy the very earth itself as " defiled ' by its... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

Prophecy of judgment. The difficulties, historically considered, of this chapter must be left to the exegete. We concern ourselves with the larger sense it contains of a prophecy of a judgment upon the whole world. I. THE APPROACHING DESOLATION . ( Isaiah 24:1-3 .) The figures of emptying , draining , are employed to denote the utter depopulation and impoverishment of the earth; also that of turning upside down , to denote disorganization and demoralization in every civil... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:5-6

The necessary connection of suffering with sin. "Because they have transgressed the laws … therefore hath the curse devoured the earth." The great Eastern empires had no staying power. In a few generations dynasties, even empires, were swept clean away. And the reason is not far to seek. The great Eastern kingdoms were founded on blood-shedding; and for the sin of violence God keeps the curse of destruction. 'A lesson which he taught the world once for all when he swept away the old violent... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:6

The curse ; rather, a curse . God has pronounced a curse upon the earth on account of man's perversity; and hence the calamities which the earth is about to suffer. Are desolate ; rather, are held as guilty . Are burned ; or, scorched—shriveled up by the "burning anger" ( Isaiah 30:27 )and "fiery indignation" ( Hebrews 10:27 ) of Jehovah. read more
