F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Isaiah 15:1-18
Isa_15:1 Isa_23:18 It is clear that, when God acts in judgment, He begins at the innermost circle. It was so in the days of Jerusalem, as we see in Eze_9:6 and the same principle holds good in New Testament times, as stated in 1Pe_4:17 . In Isaiah we have seen the predictions of judgment first uttered against Israel, though with promises of restoration and glory in their Messiah. After this follows the judgment of the nations surrounding Israel. We have seen Babylon head the list, to which... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 15:1-9

Some have therefore conceived the notion that the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 15:1-9
In this section we have three prophecies: concerning Assyria ( Isa 14:24-27 ), concerning Philistia ( Isa 14:28-32 ), and the commencement of one concerning Moab (15). This fragment concerning Assyria consists of the reaffirmation of Jehovah's intention to break its power. The oath of Jehovah is declared, and its irrevocable certainty affirmed. The fragment concerning Philistia is of the nature of a warning spoken to her. Although she oppresses the people of God, she is herself in peril. She... read more
