イザヤ書 30:19-21 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 30:18-26

The closing words of the foregoing paragraph (You shall be left as a beacon upon a mountain) some understand as a promise that a remnant of them should be reserved as monuments of mercy; and here the prophet tells them what good times should succeed these calamities. Or the first words in this paragraph may be read by way of antithesis, Notwithstanding this, yet will the Lord wait that he may be gracious. The prophet, having shown that those who made Egypt their confidence would be ashamed of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:19

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem ,.... Or, "for the people of Zion F26 עם בציון "polpulus Sion", V. L. Gataker. shall dwell in Jerusalem"; those that belonged to the fort of Zion should dwell in Jerusalem, or "abide" there, both they and the inhabitants of it, at least many of them should quietly continue there, waiting the Lord's time to appear for them, and not run here and there, and particularly to Egypt for help or shelter. Seeing there are many things in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:20

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction ,.... Either at this present time, when the city was besieged by Sennacherib; or when it should be besieged by the Chaldeans, when adversity was their bread, and affliction their water; or when they had only bread and water in their adversity and affliction; or a famine of bread and water, as is common in times of a siege. It may refer to the poor, and mean, and afflicted state of the people of God, in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:21

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee ,.... Which may be said in reference to the backsliding and declining state of the people, Isaiah 30:11 and is thought by some to be an allusion to schoolmasters, who stand behind their scholars, or at their backs, to guide, teach, and instruct them; and by others to shepherds following their flocks, who, when they observe any of the sheep going out of the way, call them back; or to travellers, who, coming to a place where are several ways, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:19

For the people shall dwell in Zion "When a holy people shall dwell in Sion" - Λαος ἁγιος , Septuagint; קדוש עם am kadosh . The word dro קדוש kadosh , lost out of the text, but happily supplied by the Septuagint, clears up the sense, otherwise extremely obscure. When the rest of the cities of the land were taken by the king of Assyria, Zion was preserved, and all that were in it. Thou shalt weep no more "Thou shalt implore him with weeping" - The negative particle לא lo is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:18-26

A RENEWAL OF PROMISE . The denunciations of the preceding passage ( Isaiah 30:9-17 ) had been so terrible that, without some counterpoise of promise, they must have produced a general despair. This was not the Divine purpose. Judah's probation still continued. Therefore it was necessary to let it be seen that the Divine long-suffering was not yet exhausted—there were still conditions under which God would be gracious to his people. The conditions were "crying to the Lord" ( Isaiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:19

For the people shall dwell in Zion ; rather, a people shall continue . Jerusalem shall not now be made desolate, or deprived of its inhabitants. Whatever the number of captives taken, "a people shall remain." Thou shalt weep no more . The reasons for weeping shall be removed. He will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry . For God to be gracious to them, they must first "cry" to him—make an earnest, hearty appeal to him for mercy. Their "cry" will be answered as soon as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:19-22

Turning to God. It is the intention of God's chastisements, and their natural, though perhaps scarcely their ordinary, result, to stir the soul to penitence, and produce a turning of the heart to God. When the spirit of the man is truly touched, the steps on the path of repentance are commonly— I. THE UTTERANCE OF A CRY . " Men and brethren, what shall we do?" ( Acts 2:37 ). " Sirs , what must I do to be saved?" ( Acts 16:30 ). " Lord , what wilt thou have me to do?" ( ... read more
