以賽亞書 3:7-8 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-8

The prophet, in the close of the foregoing chapter, had given a necessary caution to all not to put confidence in man, or any creature; he had also given a general reason for that caution, taken from the frailty of human life and the vanity and weakness of human powers. Here he gives a particular reason for it?God was now about to ruin all their creature-confidences, so that they should meet with nothing but disappointments in all their expectations from them (Isa. 3:1): The stay and the staff... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:7

In that day shall he swear ,.... Or "lift up", that is, his hand F5 ישא "attollet manum", Piscator. , which was a gesture used in swearing, and therefore is so rendered; the meaning is, that he shall at once immediately give an answer, and for the solemn confirmation of it shall say an oath with it, saying, I will not be a healer , or "a binder"; that is, of wounds, of political wounds, made in the nation, and which were incurable. See Isaiah 1:6 for the meaning is, that he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:8

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen , This is a reason given why the government of them is refused; they were fallen into such a ruinous condition, that there was no probability of recovering them. And the reason of this their fall and ruin is, because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord ; against the Lord Jesus Christ, whom they reproached and vilified as an impostor, a blasphemer, and a seditious person; and whom they spit upon, buffeted, scourged, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 3:7

In that day shall he swear "Then shall he openly declare" - The Septuagint, Syriac, and Jerome, read וישא veyissa , adding the conjunction, which seems necessary in this place. I will not be a healer - I am noy a leche. - Old MS. Bible. Leech was the ancient English word for a physician. For in my house is neither bread nor clothing "For in my house is neither bread nor raiment" - "It is customary through all the East," says Sir J. Chardin, "to gather together an immense quantity... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 3:8

The eyes "The cloud" - This word appears to be of very doubtful form, from the printed editions, the MSS., and the ancient versions. The first yod in עיני eyney , which is necessary according to the common interpretation, is in many of them omitted; the two last letters are upon a rasure in two MSS. I think it should be ענן anan , "a cloud," as the Syriac reads; and the allusion is to the cloud in in which the glory of the Lord appeared above the tabernacle; see Exodus 16:9 , ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-7

GOD 'S JUDGMENT UPON JERUSALEM . The general denunciations against Israel of the two preceding chapters are here turned especially against Jerusalem. God will deprive her of all her superior and more honorable classes ( Isaiah 3:1-3 ); and will give her "children" for her rulers ( Isaiah 3:4 ). There will be continued oppression, and the rise of an insolent and undutiful spirit ( Isaiah 3:5 ). Those fit to bear rule will refuse to do so ( Isaiah 3:6 , Isaiah 3:7 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-7

Many steps in the decay of states. Ruin does not often come on states at once, even when God has determined on it. There are many steps in the fall of a great nation. I. CESSATION OF A SUCCESSION OF GREAT AND WISE MEN . ( Isaiah 3:2 , Isaiah 3:3 .) One of the first marks of decay is a falling off in this succession. When the intervals between one great man and another lengthen; when wise men, capable of giving the state good counsel, grow rare; when mediocrity... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-8

National and spiritual anarchy. We have a vivid picture here of— I. NATIONAL ANARCHY . 1. Its cause is found in national rebellion against its rightful Lord. "Their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory" ( Isaiah 3:8 ). Sin, both in word and deed, draws down the righteous indignation of God, and, under his just administration, the penalty of iniquity is paid. 2. Its signs are seen in: 3. Its issue . ( Isaiah 3:8 .)... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:7

In that day shall he swear ; or, lift up his voice—speaking with emotion (Kay). I will not be an healer ; literally, a binder-up (comp. Isaiah 1:6 ); "I will not undertake to heal the calamities of the state." In my house is neither bread nor clothing ; i.e. "I am not a wealthy man; I have no stores laid up; I am quite unfit to be the people's ruler." Make me not ; or, ye shall not make me . The decently clad man entirely declines to be advanced to the helm of the state. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:8

Jerusalem is ruined ; or, has come to ruin —the "perfect of prophetic certainty" (Cheyne)—(comp. Amos 5:2 , "The virgin of Israel is fallen "). Their tongue and their doings . Sins of the tongue are denounced in the Old Testament as well as in the New, though not, perhaps, so frequently (see Exodus 20:7 ; Exodus 21:17 ; Exodus 22:28 ; Exodus 23:1 , Exodus 23:2 ; Psalms 31:18 ; Psalms 94:4 , etc.). To provoke the eyes of his glory . This is an unusual metaphor. God's... read more
