以賽亞書 17:14 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 17:12-14

These verses read the doom of those that spoil and rob the people of God. If the Assyrians and Israelites invade and plunder Judah, if the Assyrian army take God's people captive and lay their country waste, let them know that ruin will be their lot and portion. They are here brought in, 1. Triumphing over the people of God. They relied upon their numbers. The Assyrian army was made up out of divers nations: it was the multitude of many people (Isa. 17:12), by which weight they hoped to carry... read more

And behold at eveningtide trouble ,.... Or terror F1 בלהה "terror", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. and consternation; which some understand of that which was in the Assyrian army, when the Angel of the Lord destroyed it, taking "evening for night", for it was in the night that that was done; so Jarchi interprets it of Shedim, a sort of spirits or demons, that came against the enemy, and troubled and frightened them: but it is best to take it in the more common sense, of the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 17:14

He is not "He is no more" - For איננו einennu ten MSS. of Dr. Kennicott's, (three ancient), ten of De Rossi's, and two editions, and the Septuagint, Syriac, Chaldee, Vulgate, and Arabic, have ואיננו veeinenno . This particle, authenticated by so many good vouchers, restores the sentence to its true poetical form, implying a repetition of some part of the parallel line preceding, thus: - "At the season of evening, behold terror! Before the morning, and [behold] he is no more!" ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 17:12-14

A PROPHECY AGAINST ASSYRIA . This passage is, apparently, out of place. At any rate, it is quite unconnected with what precedes, and almost equally so with what follows. Still, it must be borne in mind that, until the destruction of Sennacherib's army, Isaiah has the thought of the Assyrians, as the pressing danger, always before him, and continually reverts to it, often abruptly, and without preparation (see Isaiah 5:26-30 ; Isaiah 7:17-25 ; Isaiah 8:5-8 ; Isaiah 10:5-19 , ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 17:12-14

Sounds from afar. In the distance the prophet hears a vague tumult, like that of the sea with its roaring, incoming tide. It is the noise of the invading host. Readers will recollect the powerful passage describing the eve of the battle of Waterloo—the dull distant sound repeated until the conviction flashes, "It is—it is—the cannon's opening roar!" So does the prophet listen to the uproar of the advancing Assyrians. I. THE POETIC REPRESENTATION . It is one of sublimity and terror,... read more

The overthrow of the enemies of God. I. THAT THE ENEMIES OF GOD 'S PEOPLE ARE THE ENEMIES OF GOD HIMSELF . "God will rebuke" those who come up against his people to spoil and to rob them. Those who assail Israel come beneath his ban, and are subject to his "woe." Jesus Christ taught nothing more plainly or emphatically than that they who befriended his disciples were, in his estimation, befriending him ( Matthew 10:40-42 ; Matthew 25:40 ). It is equally true... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 17:14

The gloomy evening. "Behold at evening-tide trouble." We all love beautiful evenings, whether on land or sea. Then, when the clouds of purple and amber across the horizon constitute a royal chariot for the setting sun, we gaze with admiration and delight on the glorious close of day. I. TROUBLE IS NEVER SO SAD AS IN THE EVENING . At morning or midday we have more of strength to bear it; we can brace our energies to fight the battle or to endure the burden. But in the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 17:14

At evening-tide trouble - In the time of evening - that is, in the night.Before the morning he is not - That is, he is destroyed. This is strikingly descriptive of the destruction of the army of Sennacherib on that fatal night when the angel of the Lord killed 185,000 men (see the note at Isaiah 37:36).This is the portion of them that spoil us - Of those who would plunder us. This is a “general” declaration in regard to the enemies of the Jewish people. This is the lot, the end, the destiny of... read more

Isaiah 17:12-14. Wo, &c. “We have here the third member of this prophetic discourse, and the first part of the section concerning the unexpected overthrow of the Assyrians. After the prophet had exhibited the divine judgments upon the Syrians, (Isaiah 17:1-3,) and upon the Ephraimites, (Isaiah 17:4-11,) he immediately beholds the Assyrians themselves, after they had destroyed both those states, (that is, eight years after,) advancing against the Jews, that they might oppress and subject... read more
