イザヤ書 33:21-23 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 33:13-24

Here is a preface that commands attention; and it is fit that all should attend, both near and afar off, to what God says and does (Isa. 33:13): Hear, you that are afar off, whether in place or time. Let distant regions and future ages hear what God has done. They do so; they will do so from the scripture, with as much assurance as those that were near, the neighbouring nations and those that lived at that time. But whoever hears what God has done, whether near or afar off, let them... read more

But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams ,.... Egypt had its Nile, and Babylon its Euphrates, but Jerusalem had no such river for its convenience, commerce, and defence; but God promises to be that to his Jerusalem, his church and people, as will answer to, and be "instead" F7 מקום נחרים "loco fluviorum", Junius & Tremellius; מקום pro תחת "non in talione, sed saltem ut significat loco ac vice, Deus ecclesiae est pro fluminibus",... read more

For the Lord is our Judge ,.... The Lord Christ, who has all judgment committed to him by the Father, who will judge his people, right their wrongs, and avenge their injuries: the Lord is our Lawgiver ; who has enacted wholesome laws for his church, writes them on their hearts, and puts his Spirit within them, to enable them to keep them: the Lord is our King : King of saints, King of Zion, made so by his Father, owned by his church, under whose government it is in safety: ... read more

Thy tacklings are loosed ,.... Or "are left" F8 So the word is interpreted by Kimchi and Ben Melech. ; forsaken by the mariners, as being of no use and service: they could not well strengthen their mast ; with ropes to make it stand upright: they could not spread the sail ; upon the mast, without which they could not proceed. This is spoken to and of the enemies of the church; most interpreters understand it of the Assyrians, who are compared to a ship in great distress at sea,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 33:23

Thy tacklings are loosed - Here the Assyrians are represented under the figure of a ship wrecked by a violent storm; and the people on the beach, young, old, feeble, and diseased, gathering the spoil without any to hinder them. Kimchi, who understands the whole of this chapter of Hezekiah and the king of Assyria, says, "There are others of our rabbins who apply it all to the days of the Messiah." Their mast "Thy mast" - For תרנם tornam , "their mast, "the Syriac reads תרניך ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:13-24

REFLECTIONS ON ASSYRIA 'S OVERTHROW VIEWED AS ACCOMPLISHED . The prophet's first thought is , how wonderfully the overthrow has manifested the might of God ( Isaiah 33:13 ). Next, how it must thrill with fear the hearts of the wicked among his people ( Isaiah 33:14 ). Thirdly, how the righteous are by it placed in security, and can look back with joy to their escape, and can with confidence look forward to a future of happiness and tranquil lily ( Isaiah 33:15-24 ).... read more

The reign of Hezekiah. Amidst all the agitation caused by the invasion of Sennacherib, and his perfidy, "the voices of true prophets were raised with power, pointing to the imperishable elements in the true community, and proclaiming the approach of a great crisis, the crushing weight of which should alight only on the faithless, whether among the Assyrians or in Judah" (Ewald). Here we find a reflection of the excitement of the time. I. THE GLORY OF THE KING . His beauty is a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:18-24

Happy times. A very pleasant picture is this of a nation or of a Church on which the full blessing of God is resting. There are several elements in its prosperity. I. A SENSE OF THE DIVINE MERCY . "The people … shall be forgiven their iniquity" ( Isaiah 33:24 ). A sense of pardoned sin and of reconciliation to God is at the foundation of all true peace, all sacred joy, and all holy usefulness. II. THE MAINTENANCE or DEVOTIONAL HABITS . Zion is to be always known... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:21

But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a Place of broad rivers ; rather, there in majesty the Lord is ours ; [ the Lord who is ] a Place of broad rivers , etc. Some critics think that "a place of broad rivers" may be exegetical of sham , "there," and so apply it to Jerusalem; but the majority regard the phrase as applied directly to Jehovah. As he is "a Place to hide in" ( Psalms 32:7 ; Psalms 119:114 ), so he may be "a Place of broad rivers," full, i.e. of... read more
