イザヤ書 52:1-57:21 JCB

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 52:1

Awake, awake - (See the notes at Isaiah 51:9). This address to Jerusalem is intimately connected with the closing verses of the preceding chapter. Jerusalem is there represented as down-trodden in the dust before her enemies. Here she is described under the image of a female that had been clad in the habiliments of mourning, and she is now called on to arise from this condition, and to put on the garments that would be indicative of gladness and of joy. The idea is, that the time had come now... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 52:1-3

Isaiah 52:1-3. Awake, awake, put on strength God orders his church to do that which she entreated him to do, Isaiah 51:9. And because his word is with power, and what he commands he in certain cases effects, this is a prediction and promise what he should do, that she should awake or arise out of her low estate, and be strong and courageous. Put on thy beautiful garments Thy sorrows shall be ended, and thou shalt be advanced in a glorious condition. O Zion O my church, very... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 52:1-12

Joy in Jerusalem (52:1-12)In view of these promises, the prophet urges the captive Jews to prepare for the return to Jerusalem. The city that heathen armies defiled and destroyed will be rebuilt, to become strong, holy and beautiful again (52:1-2).God will redeem his people from slavery, but he will not pay the slave-owner (Babylon) any ransom (3). In earlier days the Israelites were made slaves in Egypt, even though they went there in peace. They then established themselves in Canaan, but... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 52:1

"The first twelve verses of this chapter are a continuation of the previous chapter; and there is no special reason for a break at this point."[1]; Isaiah 52:13-15 form an ideal introduction to Isaiah 53; which, taken together with the last three verses here, constitute the so-called Fourth Song of the Servant.The first six verses here are a glorious address to Jerusalem, contrasting her with the state of Babylon, after the fall of that wicked city, and also a contrast with the closing verses... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 52:1-2

Isaiah 52:1-2. Awake, &c.— This second apostrophe is again directed to the church, about the time of the manifestation of the kingdom of God. The prophet, by the Spirit, beholds this church, heretofore brought out of Egypt, and delivered from the Assyrians, again, to its great grief, mixed with the profane and impure multitude, by whose means the name of God was daily blasphemed, Isaiah 52:5. He commands her, therefore, to lay aside her old dress, which was suitable to the ancient... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 52:1

God called on Israel to awake and to be strong (in the strength that God provides). The Israelites did not need to call on Him to awake and to be strong, as they had done (Isaiah 51:9). He was ready to save them. But were they ready to trust Him for their salvation (cf. Isaiah 40:27-31; Isaiah 42:23-25; Isaiah 43:22-24; Isaiah 45:9-13; Isaiah 45:15; Isaiah 45:18-19; Isaiah 46:8-13; Isaiah 48:1-22; Isaiah 49:14 to Isaiah 50:3)? The Lord instructed the people of Zion to put on the beautiful... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 52:1-12

Released Zion 52:1-12God next called on His people to prepare to receive the salvation that He would provide for them. They would have to lay hold of it by faith for it to benefit them."The third ’wake-up call’ (Isaiah 52:1-6) is also addressed to Jerusalem and is a command not only to wake up but to dress up! It is not enough for her to put off her stupor (Isaiah 51:17-23); she must also put on her glorious garments." [Note: Wiersbe, p. 57.] The first "wake-up call" is in Isaiah 51:9-16. read more
