以賽亞書 27:8 CUNPTS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 27:2-13

Shameful exile and glorious return (27:2-13)From its beginning, Israel was God’s chosen people. God compares the nation to a beautiful vineyard, which he has cared for and guarded continually (2-3). Israel’s enemies are likened to thorns and briars, and unless they repent of their wrongdoing and seek God’s forgiveness, they will suffer a fiery destruction (4-5). Israel, by contrast, will flourish like a giant tree and bring blessing to the whole world (6). Before that can happen, however, God... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 27:8

"In measure, when thou sendest them away, thou dost contend with them; he hath removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind."This verse is ambiguous. Cheyne stated that `in measure' here or `in exact measure' means, "dealing out punishment in carefully adjusted quantities";[13] The Hebrew word used for dry measure here is "`[~seah],' meaning one-third of an ephah."[14] This surely reminds us of the judgments connected with the trumpets in Revelation 8:7,8,10, where we read that... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 27:6-8

Isaiah 27:6-8. He shall cause them, &c.— Or, In times to come, Jacob shall take root: Israel, &c. Isaiah 27:7. Hath he smitten him according to the stroke of those that smote him? &c. Isaiah 27:8. In measure, when thou didst send it [the stroke] forth, thou didst contend with her, when he blew with his stormy blast in the day of the east-wind. If God had no anger, and no other reason for chastising his people, than to purify his vineyard from hypocrites, from thorns and briars,—this... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 27:8

8. In measure—not beyond measure; in moderation (Job 23:6; Psalms 6:1; Jeremiah 10:24; Jeremiah 30:11; Jeremiah 46:28). when it shooteth—image from the vine; rather, passing from the image to the thing itself, "when sending her away (namely, Israel to exile; Jeremiah 46:28- :, God only putting the adulteress away when He might justly have put her to death), Thou didst punish her" [GESENIUS]. stayeth—rather, as Margin, "when He removeth it by His rough wind in the day," c. east wind—especially... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 27:8

The Lord had scattered His people when they needed punishment, but He had not destroyed them. Since Isaiah used a feminine suffix here, it is possible that he alluded to a husband sending his wife away in divorce. He had let the fierce winds of His anger blow on them, but, as with the sirocco, His anger eventually subsided. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:1-13

1. The powers hostile to God’s people are here symbolically represented as monsters. Leviathan the piercing (RV ’swift’) serpent perhaps stands for Assyria, watered by the rapid Tigris, and ’leviathan the crooked serpent’ (RV) for Babylon, whose river was the winding Euphrates. The dragon] crocodile, i.e. Egypt, as in Isaiah 51:9.2. Sing ye, etc.] RV ’a vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it.’ The vineyard is God’s people (Isaiah 5); the song begins at Isaiah 27:3. 4. Who would, etc.] RV ’would that... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 27:8

(8) In measure . . .—Literally, with the force of iteration, with measure and measure. The verse continues the thought of the preceding. The word for “measure” is strictly definite: the seah, or third part of an ephah (comp. Isaiah 5:10), and therefore used as proverbial for its smallness, to express the extreme moderation of God’s chastisements.When it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate With it.—Better, When thou didst put her away, thou didst plead with her. The prophet falls back upon the... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 27:1-13

The Day of the East Wind Isaiah 27:8 I take our text as a poet's thought. Translated, then, I read these meanings in it: Firstly, Our trials are timed. Secondly, Our sufferings are measured. Thirdly, Our lives are compensated. I. Our Trials are Timed. 'He stayeth His rough wind in the day of the east wind.' It is something to know the east wind has its day. To everything under heaven, even the blighting scourge out of the east, there is a time. In its larger aspects we are all agreed on that... read more
