イザヤ書 48:21-22 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 48:22

Peace: appearance and reality. "There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked." We may look at— I. THE ANTECEDENT LIKELIHOOD that there would be none. For the wicked are: 1. In rebellion against the Lord of all righteousness and power; i.e. against one who is bound to visit sin with penalty and who is able to do so. 2 . In an element of disturbance and disorder. They are in a wrong and false position; they are in a sphere which is unnatural and unlawful; they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 48:22

The unrest of the wicked. "There is no peace, saith Jehovah, to the ungodly." There may be what the world calls success and prosperity, without peace. Peace is an inward state and condition. It is not a matter of circumstance, but of mood. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee." It is not a specially sent threatening, that there shall be no peace to the wicked; it is the permanently appointed Divine arrangement. By the constitution of things there can be no peace... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 48:21

And they thirsted not - This is a part of that for which they would be called to celebrate his name. It was not merely that he had redeemed them, but that he had abundantly provided for their needs in the desert, and guided them safe through the pathless wilderness to their own land (see the notes at Isaiah 35:6-7; Isaiah 41:17-18).He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them - The allusion here is undoubtedly to the fact that God caused the waters to flow out of the rock that Moses... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 48:22

There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked - This verse contains a sentiment whose truth no one can doubt. To the transgressor of the laws of God there can be no permanent peace, enjoyment, or prosperity. The word peace is used in the Scriptures in all these senses (see the note at Isaiah 48:18). There may be the appearance of joy, and there may be temporary prosperity. But there is no abiding, substantial, permanent happiness, such as is enjoyed by those who fear and love God. This... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 48:20-21

Isaiah 48:20-21. Go ye forth of Babylon The imperative is here, as it is very frequently, put for the future, ye shall go forth, &c. For the words do not so much contain a command as a promise. This form of speaking, however, may be the rather used to intimate, that it was their duty to go forth, as well as God’s promise to carry them forth. Flee ye from the Chaldeans Not silently and sorrowfully, but with a voice of singing With joy, and songs of praise to the Lord. Declare ye,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 48:22

Isaiah 48:22. There is no peace unto the wicked God having, in the foregoing verses, foretold that blessed deliverance which he would give to his servant Jacob, (Isaiah 48:20,) here adds an explication and limitation of the blessing, and declares that wicked men should not enjoy the benefit of this mercy. And by the wicked, he means the unbelieving and ungodly Jews; of whom these very words are used again, (Isaiah 57:21,) and for whom such a denunciation was very proper and necessary,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 48:1-22

The past and the future (48:1-22)Before returning to their homeland, the people are reminded of the sins that led the nation into captivity. They must not repeat former errors. The people’s chief failing was that they honoured God with their words but not with their conduct (48:1-2). Knowing their tendency towards idolatry, God gave his people advance revelations of his will, to prevent them from turning to idols for guidance. But they still stubbornly rejected his teaching (3-5).Nevertheless,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 48:20-21

Isaiah 48:20-21. Go ye forth of Babylon— Hitherto the Son of God had proceeded with reproof, but the most gentle of its kind. In the mean time, the Chaldeans, in this part of the prophetic vision, are supposed to have been conquered by Cyrus; Babylon is supposed to be taken, and the time to be at hand wherein the captivity of the Jews should cease, and the edict for their deliverance be promulged; when he turns himself, by an apostrophe, to the faithful among the people, exhorting, or rather... read more
