イザヤ書 30:1 JCB

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 30:1-5

Isaiah 30:1-5. Wo to the rebellious children The Jews, who called themselves God’s children, though they were rebellious ones, as was said Isaiah 1:2. That take counsel That consult together, and resolve what to do; but not of me Not following nor asking my advice, which I encouraged and commanded them to do. And cover with a covering Seek protection; but not of my Spirit Not such as by my Spirit, speaking in my word, I have directed and required them to seek; that they may add sin... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-33

The folly of relying on Egypt (30:1-33)All Isaiah’s warnings against an alliance with Egypt are in vain. As he learns that a group of Judean representatives is on its way to Egypt, he points out again how disastrous this alliance will prove to be. Judah’s reliance on Egypt is against God’s will and in the end will bring only disgrace upon Judah (30:1-5).Isaiah pictures the dangerous journey, as a caravan of donkeys and camels carry Judah’s payment through the dry southern region of Judah... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 30:1

No one knows exactly when Isaiah wrote this chapter; but it was evidently shortly before Sennacherib's invasion of Judah in 701 B.C. Barnes dated it at "the same time as the previous chapter,"[1] which was dated by Dummelow "on the very eve of Sennacherib's invasion."[2] Jamieson and other scholars move the date about a decade earlier, "probably in the summer of 714 B.C."[3] It is not at all necessary to know the exact date. That the era just prior to the Sennacherib invasion is the correct... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 30:1-2

Isaiah 30:1-2. Woe to the rebellious children, &c.— These two verses contain the proposition of the discourse, exhibiting the carnal counsel of the Ephraimites condemned by God, which makes the basis of this prophetical declamation. The Ephraimites are addressed as refractory children, more strongly to mark their impiety. See Deuteronomy 21:18; Deuteronomy 21:23. Hos 4:16 and Jeremiah 2:18. To cover with a covering, but not of God's Spirit, is to seek help to themselves from the persuasion... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:1

1. take counsel—rather, as Isaiah 30:4; Isaiah 30:6 imply, "execute counsels." cover . . . covering—that is, wrap themselves in reliances disloyal towards Jehovah. "Cover" thus answers to "seek to hide deeply their counsel from the Lord" (Isaiah 29:15). But the Hebrew is literally, "who pour out libations"; as it was by these that leagues were made (Exodus 24:8; Zechariah 9:11), translate, "who make a league." not of—not suggested by My Spirit" (Numbers 27:21; Joshua 9:14). that they may... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 30:1

Yahweh pronounced woe on the Judahites who were acting like rebellious children (cf. Isaiah 1:2; Deuteronomy 21:18-21). They were carrying out a plan that was not the Lord’s. Specifically they were seeking an alliance with Egypt. Yahweh had forbidden alliances with Egypt (Exodus 13:17; Deuteronomy 17:16). These Judahites added to the sin of acting without divine direction, the sin of seeking security from a source other than the Lord Himself. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 30:1

XXX.(1) Woe to the rebellious children . . .—The interjection perhaps expresses sorrow rather than indignation, Alas, for . . .! as in Isaiah 1:4. The prophet hears that the intrigues of the palace have at last issued in favour of an alliance with Egypt, and that an embassy has been already sent.That cover with a covering.—Better, that weave a web. The word was fitly chosen then, as now, to describe the subtle intricacies of a double-dealing diplomacy. Some, however, render “form a molten... read more
