以賽亞書 1:5-6 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 1:5

The foolishness of increasing Divine judgments. The plea of the prophet appears to be this: "You have run terrible lengths in sin; and you have seriously suffered from the consequences of sin; now why will you bring down fresh judgments upon your head through persisting in your infidelity" (comp. Ezekiel 18:31 )? So serious, indeed, had been the penalties of transgression already that there seemed to be no part of the body politic upon which another stroke might fall; new inflictions must... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 1:5-9

Sin in its hopelessness. I. THAT SIN IS MORE OR LESS RECLAIMABLE . Whatever we might have antecedently expected, we find practically, that there are those on whom Divine truth is far more likely to tell than it is on others. Thus Time, pleasure, the misuse of sacred opportunity,—these things indurate the soul and make it far less responsive than it once was; so that there are some that are more hopeless than others. II. THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN UNCHARGED BY... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 1:6

From the sole of the foot even unto the head (comp. Job 2:7 ). From top to bottom, the body corporate is diseased throughout—there is no soundness in it (cf. Psalms 38:3 , Psalms 38:7 )—all is one wound, one livid bruise, one festering sore. Note the use of the singular number in the original. They have not been closed ; literally, they have not been pressed ; which is explained to mean (Aben Ezra, Kay) that they have not had the matter formed by suppuration pressed out of them. ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 1:5

Why ... - The prophet now, by an abrupt change in the discourse, calls their attention to the effects of their sins. Instead of saving that they had been smitten, or of saying that they had been punished for their sins, he assumes both, and asks why it should be repeated. The Vulgate reads this: ‘Super quo - on what part - shall I smite you anymore?’ This expresses well the sense of the Hebrew - על־מה ‛al-meh - upon what; and the meaning is, ‘what part of the body can be found on which blows... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 1:6

From the sole of the foot ... - Or is we say, ‘from head to foot,’ that is, in every part of the body. There may be included also the idea that this extended from the lowest to the highest among the people. The Chaldee paraphrase is, ‘from the lowest of the people even to the princes - all are contumacious and rebellious.’No soundness - מתם methôm, from תמם tâmam, to be perfect, sound, uninjured. There is no part unaffected; no part that is sound. It is all smitten and sore.But wounds - The... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 1:5-6

Isaiah 1:5-6. Why should ye be stricken any more It is to no purpose to seek to reclaim you by one chastisement after another; ye will revolt more and more I see you are incorrigible, and turn even your afflictions into sin. The whole head is sick, &c. The disease is mortal, as being in the most noble and vital parts, the very head and heart of the body politic, from whence the plague is derived to all the other members. “The end of God’s judgments, in this world, is men’s... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 1:1-9

1:1-6:13JUDAH AN UNCLEAN PEOPLEGod judges Judah (1:1-9)The opening chapter introduces most of the main issues that the prophet is to deal with, and therefore is a summary of the overall message of the book. The scene is one of judgment. God is the judge, his people the accused, heaven and earth the witnesses. The charge is that Judah has rebelled against God. Even animals are grateful for what their masters do for them, but the people of Judah show no gratitude to their heavenly Father... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 1:5-6

Isaiah 1:5-6. Why should ye be stricken, &c. From the 4th to the 6th verse the prophet describes the mortal state of the people who had apostatized from God, and continued obstinate in that apostacy; and from thence to the 10th verse, their external or natural state. The metaphors here used are in themselves sufficiently clear, as is also their application in this view. Vitringa is of opinion, that the prophet here describes the state of the people under Ahaz. read more
