イザヤ書 28:9-10 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:10

For precept must be upon precept ; rather, for it is precept upon precept (Lowth, Cheyne). The whole teaching is nothing but an accumulation of precept upon precept, rule upon rule, one little injunction followed up by another, here a little, there a little. The objectors profess to find in the prophet's teaching nothing grand, nothing broad—no enunciation of great leading principles; but a perpetual drizzling rain of petty maxims and rules, vexatious, cramping, confining; especially... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:10

Need for the reiteration of truth. "Line upon line." It is not difficult to set forth the practical applications of this passage; but we cannot be quite sure that we know the exact original bearing of the words. Three suggestions have been made. 1. , Isaiah 28:9 may refer to God's favor to the Jews; then Isaiah 28:10 describes the abundant revelation made to them, with rules and duties related to all the conditions and emergencies of life. 2. , Isaiah 28:9 may refer to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:10

Mockers of religion. A different explanation to that given in the previous homily is finding favor in modern times. The passage is supposed to represent the drunkards mocking Isaiah over their cups. "Does he not know what respectable persons he is dealing with, not like children who need leading-strings, but educated priests and prophets? They have caught up from Isaiah one of his favorite words (probably), and repeat it with a sneer. He is always interfering with moral and political... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:9

whom shall he teach knowledge? - This verse commences a statement respecting another form of sin that prevailed among the people of Judah. That sin was contempt for the manner in which God instructed them by the prophets, and a disregard for his communications as if they were suited to children and not to adults. That “scoffing” was the principal sin aimed at in these verses, is apparent from Isaiah 28:14. Vitringa supposes that these words Isaiah 28:9-10 are designed to describe the manner of... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:10

For precept must be upon precept - This is probably designed to ridicule the concise and sententious manner of the prophets, and especially the fact that they dwelt much upon the same elementary truths of religion. In teaching children we are obliged to do it by often repeating the same simple lesson. So the profane and scoffing teachers of the people said it had been with the prophets of God. It had been precept upon precept, and line upon line, in the same way as children had been instructed.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:9-10

Isaiah 28:9-10. Whom shall he Namely, God, or his prophet, or minister; teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Who is there among this people, that are capable and willing to be taught the good knowledge of God? them that are wearied from the milk, &c. A minister may as soon teach a young child as these men. For precept must be upon precept, &c. They must be taught like little children, slowly, and with leisure, the same things being often repeated,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-29

28:1-33:24 HEZEKIAH AND THE ASSYRIANSBefore reading Chapters 28-33, readers should be familiar with the historical background found in the introduction under the heading ‘Judah’s new policies under Hezekiah’. Hezekiah reversed the policies of his father Ahaz. Whereas Ahaz sought help from Assyria to oppose Israel and Syria, Hezekiah sought help from Egypt to oppose Assyria. Isaiah opposed both policies alike. Faith in God, not reliance on foreign powers, is Judah’s only hope for survival. The... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 28:9

"Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts? For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little and there a little."We might paraphrase this mockery of Isaiah by the drunken rulers and leaders of Ephraim thus: Why, who does this man think he is teaching, a group of babies who have just been weaned? Is he trying to teach us our ABC's? These silly... read more
