Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-8

Here, I. The prophet warns the kingdom of the ten tribes of the judgments that were coming upon them for their sins, which were soon after executed by the king of Assyria, who laid their country waste, and carried the people into captivity. Ephraim had his name from fruitfulness, their soil being very fertile and the products of it abundant and the best of the kind; they had a great many fat valleys (Isa. 28:1, 4), and Samaria, which was situated on a hill, was, as it were, on the head of the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 28:9-13

The prophet here complains of the wretched stupidity of this people, that they were unteachable and made no improvement of the means of grace which they possessed; they still continued as they were, their mistakes not rectified, their hearts not renewed, nor their lives reformed. Observe, I. What it was that their prophets and ministers designed and aimed at. It was to teach them knowledge, the knowledge of God and his will, and to make them understand doctrine, Isa. 28:9. This is God's way of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:7

But they also have erred through wine ,.... Either they that sat in judgment, and turned the battle to the gate, as Jarchi interprets it: or rather, since the Lord was a spirit of judgment and strength to those, the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin in later times are meant, in the latter end of Hezekiah's reign, or in the times of Manasseh, or nearer the Babylonish captivity; these tribes, which professed the true religion, and who had the word, and worship, and ordinances of God among them,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:8

For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness ,.... The one signifies what is spued out of a man's mouth, his stomach being overcharged, and the other his excrements; and both give a just, though nauseous, idea of a drunken man. This vice was very common; men of all ranks and degrees were infected with it, rulers and people; and no wonder that the common people ran into it, when such examples were set them; the tables of the priests, who ate of the holy things in the holy place, and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:9

Whom shall he teach knowledge ?.... Not the drunken priest or prophet, who were both unfit for teaching men knowledge; but either the true and godly priest or prophet of the Lord, or the Lord himself, before spoken of as a spirit of judgment, Isaiah 28:6 namely, by his prophets and ministers, the latter seem rather intended; whom may or can such an one teach the knowledge of God, and of themselves; the knowledge of the law, and of the Gospel; the knowledge of divine truths, of things... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:10

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept ,.... Signifying, that they must be dealt with as children were, when first instructed in the rudiments of a language, first had one rule given them, and then another, and so one after another till they had gone through the whole: line upon line, line upon line ; who are taught first to write one line, and then another; or to draw one line, and write after that, and then another; or where to begin one line, and, when finished,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:11

For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. Or "hath spoken" F19 So Gataker. ; as parents and nurses, in a lisping manner, and in a language and tone different from what they use in common, speak unto their children, accommodating themselves according to their capacities and weakness; and so it is a continuation of the method to be used in instructing the Jews, as being like children: or else these words are to be considered as a reason why, since they... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:9

Whom shall he teach knowledge?" Whom, say they, would he teach knowledge?" - The scoffers mentioned below, Isaiah 28:14 , are here introduced as uttering their sententious speeches; they treat God's method of dealing with them, and warning them by his prophets, with contempt and derision. What, say they, doth he treat us as mere infants just weaned? doth he teach us like little children, perpetually inculcating the same elementary lessons, the mere rudiments of knowledge; precept after... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:10

For precept must be upon precept - The original is remarkably abrupt and sententious. The hemistichs are these: - לצו צו לצו צו כי latsav tsav latsav tsav ki לקו קו לקו קו lakau kau lakau kau שם זעיר שם זעיר sham zeeir sham zeeir For, - Command to command, command to command. Line to line, line to line. A little there, a little there. Kimchi says צו tsau , precept, is used here for מצוה mitsuah , command, and is used in no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-8

The evil of excess: a sermon on intemperance. The allusion here is to the prevalent baneful vice of intemperance. The evils which are connected with it, and which constitute its condemnation, are such as belong to other kinds of excess, but especially and emphatically to it . I. HONOR IS HUMILIATED BY IT . "The crown of pride is trodden under feet" ( Isaiah 28:1 , Isaiah 28:3 ). The proud city, which was, alas! a city given up to drunkenness, should be brought down to the... read more
