Isaiah 12

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:1-2

‘And in that day you will say, I will give thanks to you, O Yahweh, For although you were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And you comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and will not be afraid, For Yah Yahweh is my strength and my song, And he is become my salvation.’ The hymn is first of all a song of thanksgiving that Yahweh’s anger has been turned away from them, even though they recognise that they have deserved it. Thus instead of visiting them in anger and judgment... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:3

‘Therefore with joy will you draw water out of the wells of salvation.’ Isaiah adds his comment to the song, and speaks to all. ‘You’ is here in the plural. Because of their wonderful deliverance they can all come continually to draw water from the wells of salvation. The spring-fed well was the basis of life for the Israelites. It was alongside wells that they built their cities. From wells they irrigated their crops. And now their saving God has provided a continual spring, welling up... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:4-6

‘And in that day you will say, Give thanks to Yahweh, Call on his name, Declare his doings among the peoples, Make mention that his name is exalted.’ Sing to Yahweh, for he has done excellent things, Let this be known in all the earth. Cry aloud, and shout, you inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of you.’ The first part of the song looked at themselves, now they look out so that the world might praise Him. They point to His activity, and all that He has done,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

Isaiah 12. Songs of Thanksgiving.— This is a late appendix to the preceding. It is imitative throughout and copies late passages. Isaiah 11:16 compares Israel’ s return from the Dispersion with the deliverance of the Hebrews at the Exodus. As a song of praise (Exodus 15) celebrates the destruction of the Egyptians at the Red Sea, so two brief songs ( Isaiah 12:1-Leviticus :, Isaiah 12:4-Joshua :) are inserted here, which have close points of contact with Exodus 15 and some Pss., especially... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 12:3

Your thirsty and fainting souls shall be filled with Divine graces and comforts, which you may plentifully draw from God in the use of gospel ordinances, which was oft signified by water, both in the Old and in the New Testament. He seems to allude to the state of Israel in the wilderness, where when they had been tormented with thirst, they were greatly refreshed and delighted with those waters which God so graciously and wonderfully afforded them in that dry and barren land, Numbers 20:11;... read more
