The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:20

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity (so Mr. Cheyne). But most modern critics (Kay, Delitzsch, Vance Smith, etc.) regard the words as a promise of support through the siege, and omit the interpolated "though." Translate, And the Lord will give yon bread o f adversity , and water of affliction ; i.e. scant rations, but sufficient; and thy teachers shall not , etc. Be removed into a corner ; i.e. "have to hide themselves from persecution."

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:20

Adversity as Divine bread. "The bread of adversity, and the water of affliction." We can only think of God by the help of our associations with man . Therefore, in the revelation which he has given us in a book, God is spoken of as if he had the form of a man (anthropomorphism), and as if he had the feelings of a man (anthropopathism). We, indeed, know no other moral beings beside man, and probably our senses would allow of the apprehension of no other. We are not allowed to create... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:19

For the people shall dwell in Zion - (see the note at Isaiah 1:8). The language here is evidently adapted to a return from the captivity. The whole design of the passage Isaiah 30:19-26 is to describe a future state of prosperity by images mainly drawn from the idea of temporal enjoyment. The sense is, that in some period subsequent to the calamities that would befall them for their improper reliance on the aid of Egypt Isaiah 30:16-17, there would be prosperity, peace, and joy in Jerusalem.... read more

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity - The bread that is eaten in a time of calamity; that is, he would bring upon them sore distress and want.The water of affliction - Margin, ‘Oppression.’ That is, water drank in times of affliction and oppression, or in the long and weary days of captivity.Yet shall not thy teachers - Your public instructors and guides Psalms 74:9; Isaiah 43:27; Daniel 12:3; Amos 8:11-12.

Isaiah 30:20-21. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity Although in that time and state of the church you will be subject to many outward straits and afflictions, which was the case with the Jews after their restoration from Babylon, and which was also the lot of the first converts to Christianity; yet shall not thy teachers be removed, &c. As they have been in former times, both in Israel and Judah, when the godly prophets, and other instructers of the people, were but... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-33

The folly of relying on Egypt (30:1-33)All Isaiah’s warnings against an alliance with Egypt are in vain. As he learns that a group of Judean representatives is on its way to Egypt, he points out again how disastrous this alliance will prove to be. Judah’s reliance on Egypt is against God’s will and in the end will bring only disgrace upon Judah (30:1-5).Isaiah pictures the dangerous journey, as a caravan of donkeys and camels carry Judah’s payment through the dry southern region of Judah... read more

Isaiah 30:20-21. And though the Lord give you, &c.— The prophet here, setting forth the second benefit, tells them, that though at the time of the restoration of their state they should by no means be free from various afflictions, (as Daniel also foretels, Daniel 9:25.) yet these temporal afflictions should be compensated and exceeded by the spiritual blessing by which God would then bless his church: which should be an abundance of instruction from their true teachers, for that is the... read more
