以賽亞書 28:20-22 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-22

Jehovah pronounces judgment. The rulers or politicians are addressed. They are stigmatized as " men of scorn" (cf. Isaiah 28:22 ; Isaiah 29:20 ; Hosea 7:5 ). The scornful or scoffing habit implies excessive self-confidence on the one hand, on the other contempt of religion and of God. But "be not deceived; God is not mocked." "It has been commonly found," says Calvin, "in almost every age, that the common people, though they are distinguished by unrestrained fierceness and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:16-22

The judgments of God. When human folly has gone to so great a length ( Isaiah 28:15 ), it may look out for the coming of Divine judgment; for this cannot be long delayed. And when we look we find— I. THE SEVERITY OF GOD 'S VISITATION . 1. It will correspond closely with man ' s guilt , as if measured with line and plummet ( Isaiah 28:17 ); it will be broad as its breadth, deep as its depth, enlarged to its magnitude; more severe as men's guilt is more wanton, most... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:20

For the bed , etc. We have a proverb, "As a man makes his bed, so must he lie in it ." The Jews will have made themselves a bed in which they can have no comfort or ease, and consequently no rest. But they will only have themselves to blame for it. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:20

Man's inability to order his own life. This verse is very possibly a popular proverb, which suggested a condition of painful uneasiness. Matthew Henry gives, briefly and suggestively, its meaning as used here by Isaiah, and as applicable to us: "Those that do not build upon Christ as their Foundation, but rest in a righteousness of their own, will prove in the end thus to have deceived themselves; they never can be easy, safe, or warm; the led is too short, the covering is too narrow."... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:21

The Lord shall rise up as in Mount Perazim . The "Mount Perazim" of this passage is probably the same as the "Baal-Perazim" of 1 Chronicles 14:11 , where David completely defeated the Philistines by the Divine help. This victory is connected with another over the same nation in the valley of Gibeon ( 1 Chronicles 14:13-16 ). Now, however, God was to be on the side of the enemies of his people, who were to suffer as the Philistines had suffered in the olden time. This punishment of Ida... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:22

Be ye not mockers . As they had shown themselves previously ( Isaiah 28:9 , Isaiah 28:10 ). Lest your bands be made strong ; or, lest your fetters grow strong . The prophet views Judah as still, to some extent, an Assyrian dependency, held in light bonds; and warns his countrymen that an attempt to break the light bonds may result in Assyria's making them stronger and heavier. A consumption … determined upon the whole earth ; rather, a consummation (comp. Isaiah 10:22 , ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:20

For the bed is shorter ... - This is evidently a proverbial saying, and means that they would find all their places of defense insufficient to secure them. They seek repose and security - as a man lies down to rest at night. But they find neither. His bed furnishes no rest; his scanty covering furnishes no security from the chills of the night. So it would be with those who sought protection in idols, in the promises of false prophets, and in the aid which might be obtained from Egypt. So it is... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:21

For the Lord shall rise up - To rise up is indicative of going forth to judgment, as when one rises from his seat to accomplish anything.As in mount Perazim - There is reference here, doubtless, to the event recorded in 2 Samuel 5:20-21, and 1 Chronicles 14:11, where David is said to have defeated the Philistines at Baal-Perazim. This place was near to the valley of Rephaim 2 Samuel 5:19, and not far from Jerusalem. The word ‘Perazim’ is from פרץ pârats, to tear, or break forth, as waters do... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:22

Now therefore - In view of the certain judgment which God will bring upon you.Be ye not mockers - This was the prevailing sin Isaiah 28:9-14, and on account of this sin in part the judgment of God was about to come upon the guilty nation.Lest your bands be made strong - Lest your confinement should be more severe and protracted. God would punish them according to their sins, and if they now ceased to mock and deride him it would greatly mitigate the severity of their punishment (compare Isaiah... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:20-21

Isaiah 28:20-21. For the bed is shorter, &c. For those lying refuges, to which you trust, will not be able to give you that protection which you expect from them, no more than a man can stretch himself upon a bed that is too short for him. For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim Where he fought against the Philistines, 2 Samuel 5:20. He shall be wroth as in Gibeon Where he fought against the Canaanites, (Joshua 10:10, &c.,) and afterward against the Philistines, 1... read more
