Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 44:1-8

Two great truths are abundantly made out in these verses:? I. That the people of God are a happy people, especially upon account of the covenant that is between them and God. The people of Israel were so as a figure of the gospel Israel. Three things complete their happiness:? 1. The covenant-relations wherein they stand to God, Isa. 44:1, 2. Israel is here called Jeshurun?the upright one; for those only, like Nathanael, are Israelites indeed, in whom is no guile, and those only shall have the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 44:9-20

Often before, God, by the prophet, had mentioned the folly and strange sottishness of idolaters; but here he enlarges upon that head, and very fully and particularly exposes them to contempt and ridicule. This discourse is intended, 1. To arm the people of Israel against the strong temptation they would be in to worship idols when they were captives in Babylon, in compliance with the custom of the country (they being far from the city of their own solemnities) and to humour those who were now... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:8

Fear ye not, neither be afraid ,.... Of the accomplishment of prophecies and promises, and of professing the true God, and of adhering to Jesus Christ, the only Redeemer and Saviour; or of the gods of the Heathens, and of persecuting tyrants, and what they can do against you, and in favour of their idolatrous religion: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it ? what should come to pass, before it did, even everything that has since the appointment of the ancient people;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:9

They that make a graven image are all of them vanity ,.... They show themselves to be vain men, by making such vain things as graven images are; both images, makers, and worshippers of them are all vain, yea vanity itself: and their delectable things shall not profit ; their idols made of gold and silver, or covered with them, and adorned with precious stones, and so delightful and desirable, are of no manner of profit and advantage, unless the matter they are made of, and the ornaments... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:10

Who hath formed a god ,.... Who ever made one? was such a thing ever known? or can that be a god which is made or formed? who so mad, foolish and sottish, as to imagine he has made a god? or is it possible for a creature to be the maker of a god? or any so stupid as to fancy he had made one? yet such there were, so void of understanding and reason, and even common sense: "or molten a graven image": first melted it, and cast it into a mould, and then graved and polished it, and called it a... read more

Fear ye not - to - תרהו tirehu never occurs. Perhaps it should be תיראו tireu , fear ye. Two MSS. read תירהו tirehu , and one of mine תהרו taharu . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 44:9-10

That they may be ashamed. Who hath formed a god "That every one may be ashamed, that he hath formed a god" - The Bodleian MS., one of the first extant for its antiquity and authority, instead of מי mi , at the beginning of the tenth verse, has כי ki , which greatly clears up the construction of a very obscure passage. Doederlein approves of this reading. The Septuagint likewise closely connect in construction the end of Isaiah 44:9 ; with the beginning of Isaiah 44:10 ; and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 44:6-20

A FURTHER CONTRAST OF GOD WITH IDOLS . The captive Jews, dwelling scattered in a land the inhabitants of which were, one and all, idolaters, and having by hereditary taint an inclination to idolatry, would be easily tempted, during the long and weary period of the Captivity, to put away the worship and even the thought of Jehovah, who had allowed their subjugation, and conform to the religion of their conquerors. Hence the repeated contrasts in these later chapters—specially... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 44:6-28

Jehovah and the images. I. SELF - MANIFESTATION OF JEHOVAH . He is the First and the Last, Alpha and Omega. Existing before the creation, he will endure when it shall have passed away ( Isaiah 48:12 ). It is a thought which strikes us at once by its sublimity, anal, what is better, with its truth. Men sometimes speak of the material world as real, of the world of faith and imagination as dreamy. Not so the greatest prophets and poets. Shakespeare describes the globe and all its... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 44:8

Fear ye not (comp. Isaiah 41:10 , Isaiah 41:13 ; Isaiah 43:5 ; Isaiah 43:2 ). Israel need not fear that they will be forgotten or forsaken. God has told them from that time, or, from the beginning ( Isaiah 48:3 , Isaiah 48:7 ), and declared to them, what he is about to do—viz, destroy Babylon, and give them deliverance. He will assuredly do as he has said. Ye are even my witnesses (comp. Isaiah 43:10 , Isaiah 43:12 ). There is no God ; literally, there is no Rock ; ... read more
