イザヤ書 57:14-58 JCB

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 57:14

And shall say "Then will I say" - ואמר vaomer , to be pointed as the first person future. They are the words of God, as it is plain from the conclusion of the verse; my people, עמי ammi . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 57:15

For thus saith the high and lofty One "For thus saith Jehovah, the high and the lofty" - A MS. adds יהוה Yehovah , after אמר amar , and edition Prag. 1518. So the Septuagint, Alex., and Arabic. An ancient MS. adds יה Yah . With him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit - Twelve MSS. have את eth , without the conjunction ו vau . Pro ואת veeth , forte legendum ואראה veerah : confer Psalm 113:5 , et Psalm 138:6 . - Secker. "We should perhaps... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 57:16

For I will not contend for ever - The learned have taken a great deal of pains to little purpose on the latter part of this verses which they suppose to be very obscure. After all their labors upon it, I think the best and easiest explication of it is given in the two following elegant passages of the Psalms, which I presume are exactly parallel to it, and very clearly express the same sentiment. "But he in his tender mercy will forgive their sin And will not destroy them; Yea,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 57:17

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth "Because of his iniquity for a short time was I wroth" - For בצעו bitso , I read בצע betsa , a little while, from בצע batsa , he cut of, as the Septuagint read and render it, βραχυ τι , "a certain short space ." Propter iniquitatem avaritiae ejus , "because of the iniquity of his avarice," the rendering of the Vulgate, which our translators and I believe all others follow, is surely quite beside the purpose. read more

I have seen his ways - Probably these verses refer to the restoration of the Jews from captivity. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 57:19

I create the fruit of the lips - "The sacrifice of praise," saith St. Paul, Hebrews 13:15 , "is the fruit of the lips." God creates this fruit of the lips, by giving new subject and cause of thanksgiving by his mercies conferred on those among his people, who acknowledge and bewail their transgressions, and return to him. The great subject of thanksgiving is peace, reconciliation and pardon, offered to them that are nigh, and to them that are afar off, not only to the Jew, but also to the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 57:21

There is no peace, saith my God - For אלהי Elohai , twenty-two MSS. (five ancient) of Kennicott's, thirty of De Rossi's, and one ancient of my own, read יהוה Yehovah ; the Vulgate, Septuagint, Alex., and Arabic, and three MSS. have both. This verse has reference to the nineteenth. The perseveringly wicked and impenitent are excluded from all share in that peace above mentioned, that reconcilement and pardon which is promised to the penitent only. The forty-eighth chapter ends with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:3-14

ISRAEL SEVERELY REBUKED FOR IDOLATRY . Though Hezekiah had made a great reformation of religion when he ascended the throne( 2 Kings 18:4 ; 2 Chronicles 29:3-19 ), and had done his best to put down idolatry, yet it was still dear to large numbers among the people, and was easily revived by Manasseh in the earlier portion of his reign ( 2 Chronicles 33:2-9 ). Isaiah now rebukes various kinds of idolatrous practices, and shows the vanity of them. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:14

And shall say; rather, and one said. The prophet hears a voice, saying, Cast ye up, cast ye up ; i.e. make a highway to the holy mountain by heaping up material ( Isaiah 62:10 ); and, having made it, remove every obstruction from the path of my (righteous) people. The voice is, probably, an angelic one. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:14

The ministry of angels. Without intruding it on the reader's attention, Isaiah is continually implying the interest which angels take in all God's dealings with his Church, and the assistance which they render. Voices fill the heavenly sphere around him and about him, which can only be angelic utterances, and from time to time he records the sayings. Sometimes he records them openly as angelic; e.g. the seraph's words, when he took the live coal from the altar in the court of heaven, and... read more
