イザヤ書 26:13-19 JC

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 26:19

My dead body "My deceased" - All the ancient Versions render it in the plural; they read נבלותי niblothai , my dead bodies. The Syriac and Chaldee read נבלותיהם niblotheyhem , their dead bodies. No MS. yet found confirms this reading. The dew of herbs "The dew of the dawn" - Lucis, according to the Vulgate; so also the Syriac and Chaldee. The deliverance of the people of God from a state of the lowest depression is explained by images plainly taken from the resurrection of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-13

The vision of future glory. It seems best to take this as the picture of an ideal spiritual state. I. THE IMPREGNABLE CITY . Its walls and outworks are "salvation." A great word—negatively hinting deliverance from the enemy and the oppressor; positively including all the contents of sacred peace, prosperity, and happiness. But salvation is nothing without a Savior; it is the loving presence of Jehovah who girds about Jerusalem as a wall. In Zechariah 2:9 he is spoken of as a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-18

A SONG OF THE REDEEMED IN MOUNT ZION . The prophet, having (in Isaiah 25:1-12 .) poured forth his own thankfulness to God for the promise of the Church's final redemption and triumph, proceeds now to represent the Church itself in the glorified state as singing praise to God for the same. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-18

Thanksgiving the employment of the saints in bliss. The prophet, in this sublime passage of his prophecy, carries us with him within the veil, and reveals to us the very words, or, at the least, the general tone and tenor of utterances, which the saints make when they have passed from earth to heaven, and stand in the very presence of God. The words are, as we should have expected, mainly words of praise and thanksgiving. The saints praise God— I. FOR THE BLESSINGS OF THEIR ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:12-18

The argument from the past. Great things are represented, by the prophetic voice, to have been done, and these furnish the strongest reason to expect great things in the future. I. THE GREAT THINGS GOD HAS DONE FOR US . 1. He has heard our cry in the day of distress ( Isaiah 26:16 , Isaiah 26:17 ). Few things go home to our hearts more readily than the words of the psalmist, "I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me." It is a great thing to have been heard of God,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:13

Other lords . The saved had not always been faithful to Jehovah. Some, no doubt, had actually been idolaters, as many of the early Christians ( 1 Corinthians 12:2 ; 1 Thessalonians 1:9 , etc.). Others had given their hearts for a time to other vanities, and turned away from God. Now, in the new Jerusalem, they confess their short comings, and acknowledge that only through God's mercy—by thee—are they in the condition to celebrate his Name. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:13

Full allegiance to Jehovah. This may be regarded as still a part of the song which the exiles would sing when the way was made plain for their return to their own beloved land. The way would not be plain until the great oppressing city of Babylon, and the great oppressing dynasty of Nebuchadnezzar, had been humbled. Then God would "ordain peace" for his people; and then the full and glad allegiance of Ms people to him could be fully and freely expressed and manifested. The answering... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:14

They are dead , etc.; literally. Dead , they shall not live ( i.e. return to life); deceased , they shall not arise . The power of the idol-gods is altogether passed away. It was for this end— therefore —that God had visited and destroyed them, and made their very memory to perish . How strange it seems that the "great gods" whom so many millions worshipped in former times—Bel, and Asshur, and Ammon, and Zeus, and Jupiter—should have passed so completely away as to be almost... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:15

Thou hast increased the nation ; i.e. the "righteous nation" of Isaiah 26:2 —not the Jewish people merely, but "the Israel of God"—who are to be "a great multitude, that no man can number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues" ( Revelation 7:9 ). Thou hadst removed it. This rendering gives a very good sense. It makes the redeemed pass in thought from their present state of happiness and glory to that former time of tribulation and affliction when they were a remnant,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:15-21

The resurrection of Israel. The population of Judah has been increased, and its borders extended. (For this cause of rejoicing cf. Isaiah 9:2 ; Isaiah 49:19 , Isaiah 49:20 ; Isaiah 54:1 , etc.; Micah 2:1 , Micah 2:2 ; Micah 4:7 ; Obadiah 1:19 , Obadiah 1:20 .) Probably he is thinking of the population and strength of the land in the days of David and Solomon, as typical of what is again to be in the happier times. But actually a period of gloom and suffering must precede... read more
