イザヤ書 2:10-21 JC

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:19

And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth ,.... That is, the worshippers of idols, as they are bid to do, Isaiah 2:10 . for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty ; see Gill on Isaiah 2:10 . when be ariseth ; out of his place; Jarchi says, at the day of judgment; but it respects the judgment of the great whore, and the time when Babylon the great shall come in remembrance before God: to shake terribly the earth ; at which... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:20

In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols o gold ,.... Being frightened at the terrible shaking of the earth, and at the glory and majesty of Christ, which will be seen in his witnesses and people, at the time of his spiritual coming, and the destruction of antichrist; insomuch that they shall cast away their idols, and relinquish their idolatrous practices, and give glory to the God of heaven, Revelation 11:11 , which they made each one for himself to worship ... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:21

To go into the clifts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks ,.... That is, the idolaters shall either go there themselves; or they shall cause their idols to go there, thither they shall cast them; though the former sense seems the best, because of what follows, for fear of the Lord , &c.; See Gill on Isaiah 2:10 , Isaiah 2:19 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:10

"When he ariseth to strike the earth with terror" - On the authority of the Septuagint, confirmed by the Arabic and an ancient MS., I have added here to the text a line, which in the 19th and 21st verses ( Isaiah 2:19 , Isaiah 2:21 ;) is repeated together with the preceding line, and has, I think, evidently been omitted by mistake in this place. The MS. here varies only in one letter from the reading of the other two verses; it has בארץ baarets , instead of הארץ haarets . None of... read more

Be humbled - " ושח שפל shaphel veshach , read שח שפלו shaphelu shach ." - Dr. Durell. Which rectifies the grammatical construction. No MS. or version confirms this reading. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:13-16

And upon all the cedars "Even against all the cedars" - Princes, potentates, rulers, captains, rich men, etc. - So Kimchi. These verses afford us a striking example of that peculiar way of writing, which makes a principal characteristic of the parabolical or poetical style of the Hebrews, and in which the prophets deal so largely, namely, their manner of exhibiting things Divine, spiritual, moral, and political, by a set of images taken from things natural, artificial, religious, historical,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:18

Shall utterly abolish "Shall disappear" - The ancient versions and an ancient MS. read יחלפו yachalpu , plural. One of my MSS. reads יחלוף yachaloph , probably a mistake for יחלפו yachalpu . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:19-21

Into the holes of the rocks "Into caverns of rocks" - The country of Judea being mountainous and rocky, is full of caverns, as appears from the history of David's persecution under Saul. At En-gedi, in particular, there was a cave so large that David with six hundred men hid themselves in the sides of it; and Saul entered the mouth of the cave without perceiving that any one was there, 1 Samuel 24. Josephus, Antiq., lib. xiv., c. 15, and Bell. Jud., lib. 1, c. 16, tells us of a numerous gang... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:20

Which they made each one for himself to worship "Which they have made to worship" - The word לו lo , for himself, is omitted by two ancient MSS., and is unnecessary. It does not appear that any copy of the Septuagint has it, except MS. Pachom, and MS. 1. D. II., and they have ἑαυτοις , להם lahem , to themselves. To the moles - They shall carry their idols with them into the dark caverns, old ruins, or desolate places, to which they shall flee for refuge; and so shall give them... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:5-10

Purgation by judgment. The blessed age cannot yet come in. If we suppose the prophet to have been reading the previous oracle as a sabbath lesson out of the elder prophet Joel's scroll, he adds the exhortation, "Let us walk in the light of Jehovah!" Then a sudden pause. For he calls to mind the present corrupt condition of the nation. They cannot pass over to that new and happy condition of things as they now are. Peace can only be the fruit of righteousness. God cannot impart blessings for... read more
