イザヤ書 33:3-4 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-12

Here we have, I. The proud and false Assyrian justly reckoned with for all his fraud and violence, and laid under a woe, Isa. 33:1. Observe, 1. The sin which the enemy had been guilty of. He had spoiled the people of God, and made a prey of them, and herein had broken his treaty of peace with them, and dealt treacherously. Truth and mercy are two such sacred things, and have so much of God in them, that those cannot but be under the wrath of God that make conscience of neither, but are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:3

At the noise of the tumult the people fled ,.... The Vulgate Latin Version renders it, "at the voice of the angel"; and Jerom reports it as the opinion of the Jews, that it was Gabriel; and many interpret the words either of the noise the angel made in the air, or was made in the Assyrian camp, when the angel descended, and smote such a vast number of them, at which the remnant, being frightened, fled, 2 Kings 19:35 but either this is to be understood as expressing what had been done in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:4

And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar ,.... This is the answer of the Lord to the prayer of his church, signifying that their enemies should flee, be scattered, and perish, and that they should be victorious, and enjoy the spoils of them; which they should gather as easily as the caterpillar or locust, as some render it, gathers and consumes herbs, and every green thing; or as easily as they are gathered, and laid on heaps, being weak and unable to defend... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-6

SECTION X. A PROPHECY OF JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA ( Isaiah 33:1-24 .). THE JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA AND DELIVERANCE OF JERUSALEM , STATED GENERALLY . Events had progressed since the preceding prophecies were delivered. The negotiations carried on with Sennacherib had been futile ( Isaiah 33:7 ), the heavy fine imposed and paid ( 2 Kings 18:14 ) had been of no avail ( Isaiah 33:18 ); the Assyrian monarch was still dissatisfied, and threatened a second siege.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-6

Jehovah a Refuge. It is "Israel's extremity, but God's opportunity." Retribution is about to fall on Assyria; salvation and every resource is to be found in Jehovah. I. WOE TO ASSYRIA . This land appears under the image of a rapacious spoiler. The time is about B.C. 700, and the allusion is to Sennacherib and his army, who had advanced on a plundering and destroying course. The tables are to be turned, and the greedy conqueror (of. 2 Kings 18:14 , 2 Kings 18:15 ) was to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:3

At the noise of the tumult the people fled ; rather, the peoples ; i.e. the contingents from many nations which made up the huge army of Sennacherib. The "noise" is that caused by God "lifting up himself" (comp. Psalms 29:3-9 ). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:4

Your spoil shall be gathered . The "spoiling" of Assyria would commence with the discomfiture of the great host. In the historical narrative ( 2 Kings 19:35 ; Isaiah 37:36 ) nothing is said of it; but, beyond a doubt, when the host was to a largo extent destroyed, and the remainder fled, there must have been an enormous booty left behind, which the enemies of the Assyrians would naturally seize. A further spoiling of the fugitives probably followed; and, the prestige of the great king... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 33:3

At the noise of the tumult - Lowth supposes that this is addressed by the prophet in the name of God, or rather by God himself to the Assyrian, and that it means that notwithstanding the terror which he had caused the invaded countries, he would himself fall and become an easy prey to those whom he intended to subdue. But probably it should be regarded as a part of the address which the Jews made to Yahweh Isaiah 33:2, and the word ‘tumult’ - המון hâmôn, sound, noise, as of rain 1 Kings... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 33:4

And your spoil - The booty that the Assyrian army bad gathered in their march toward Jerusalem, and which would now be left by them to be collected by the Jews.Shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar - The grammatical construction here is such that this may admit of two interpretations. It may either mean, as the caterpillar or the locust is gathered; or it may mean, as the caterpillar gathers its spoil. It often occurred that in countries where the locust was an article of... read more
