Isaiah 47

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 47:15

47:15 Thus shall they be to thee with whom thou hast laboured, [even] thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his {n} quarter; none shall save thee.(n) They will flee everyone to that place, which he thought by his speculations to be most sure: but that will deceive them. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 47:1-15

ISAIAH INTRODUCTION TO PART TWO The chapters of Part 2 (chaps. 40-46) are chiefly millennial, and so different from the prevailing themes preceding, as to raise a query whether they were not written by some other author a second, or deutero-Isaiah, as some call him. We do not hold that opinion, the reasons for which are briefly stated in the author’s Primers of the Faith. In Synthetic Bible Studies, it was found convenient to treat this part as a single discourse though doubtless, such is not... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 47:1-15

Precious Promises Isaiah 45-47 In the fifty-fifth chapter we come upon the beginning of many exceeding great and precious promises. However long we may be detained by imagery that is hardly explicable, or by prophecies that appear too remote to be of use to ourselves, we are ever and anon refreshed with doctrines and promises which have a direct reference to our deepest necessities and purest desires. We need more than a grand Bible, as we need more than a high heaven to gaze upon. The heaven... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 47:1

CONTENTS The subject of this chapter is the destruction of Babylon. But the, Prophet, looking into gospel times, hath in view a much greater ruin than that of the Chaldean empire; even the universal ruin of Satan's kingdom, which, in scripture language, is called Babylon, The pride, cruelty, and enchantment, here spoken of, are all typical of the great apostate spirit's behaviour towards the Church of God. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 47:1-3

If we read these verses with an eye to the history of Babylon, as a people, we shall find, that the threatenings here denounced were all literally fulfilled: Babylon, which had conquered all nations, was herself at length conquered. But we shall lose the whole beauty of the scripture, if our principal attention be not directed to the spiritual sense of what the Lord here delivers, by his servant the Prophet. For the sins of his people, the Lord was pleased to raise up this scourge for them in... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 47:4

Here is a beautiful break of the subject, in the Lord's address, to Babylon. The Church, as it were, hearing what the Lord had just before said, in his threatened judgments upon Babylon, breaks out in a devout exclamation concerning her Lord. She calls him by his name Goel, Redeemer; and saith of him, that he is the Lord of sovereignty; and, in his holiness, the Lord of righteousness to his people. Sweet views of Jesus! His Godhead secures the everlasting and eternal efficacy of his redemption;... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 47:5

The subject is again resumed at this verse, and, under the image of Babylon, the silence and darkness, in which the enemies of God and of his Christ shall be finally shut up, are set forth. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 47:6

I pray the Reader to remark, with me, how graciously the Lord speaks, even when describing the degeneracy of his people. Though they had rebelled, and though the Lord was wroth with them, yet he calls them still his people. Precious thought! The Apostle Paul makes a blessed observation upon it, Romans 11:1-2 ; and the Prophet Isaiah hath another, which, shows the Lord's care over his people, even when in their captive state; for though outcasts, yet were they still the Lord's outcasts; Isaiah... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 47:7-15

I include the whole of these verses in one reading, because the one great subject is the same. The enemies of God and of his Church carry with them a general feature, namely, everything of hatred, and malignity to Christ and his Gospel. From the first forming of the Church, in Egypt, to the present hour, there is but one and the same plan manifested, and the reason is plain: the Devil's hatred to Christ and his seed is personal; so that, whatever else may mark the characters of men, the war is... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 47:15

REFLECTIONS ONE of the most comprehensive improvements to be made at the close of this chapter, in the view of the very different termination set forth to the people of God, and to his enemies, may be summed up in the words of our Prophet: Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: woe unto the wicked, it shall be ill with him! Reader! take a short view of both. Behold, in the representation of Babylon, the delicacy, splendour, pomp, and pleasure in which she rioted for a while:... read more
