以賽亞書 48:1 RCUVTS

Hear ye this - This is an address to the Jews regarded as in Babylon, and is designed to remind them of their origin, and of their privileges as the descendants of Jacob, and having the name of Israel (compare the notes at Isaiah 43:1).And are come forth out of the waters of Judah - This metaphor is taken from a fountain which sends forth its streams of water, and the idea is, that they owed their origin to Judah, as the streams flowed from a fountain. A similar figure is used by Balaam in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 48:1-2

Isaiah 48:1-2. Hear ye this, O house of Jacob For your conviction and humiliation; that, acknowledging God to be just, and even merciful, in what he has brought upon you, you may give glory to him, and take shame to yourselves; which are called by the name of Israel Who are Israelites in name, but not in truth; and are come out of the waters of Judah From the lineage of your progenitor, Judah, as waters flow from a fountain; which swear by the name of the Lord Who profess the true... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 48:1-22

The past and the future (48:1-22)Before returning to their homeland, the people are reminded of the sins that led the nation into captivity. They must not repeat former errors. The people’s chief failing was that they honoured God with their words but not with their conduct (48:1-2). Knowing their tendency towards idolatry, God gave his people advance revelations of his will, to prevent them from turning to idols for guidance. But they still stubbornly rejected his teaching (3-5).Nevertheless,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 48:1

"Here we have a recapitulation of the preceding eight chapters, closing with a summons to flee Babylon, and a solemn declaration excluding the ungodly from a share in the promises."[1] The chapter falls into three divisions: "Each commencing with a call on Israel to pay attention: (1) `Hear ye this ...' (Isaiah 48:1-11); (2) `Hearken unto me ...' (Isaiah 48:12-15), and (3) `Come ye near unto me, hear ye this ...' (Isaiah 48:16-22)."[2]The chapter is definitely addressed to two classes of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 48:1-2

Isaiah 48:1-2. Hear ye this, O house of Jacob— These verses contain a just and solemn address to the Jewish people; who, though by their profession and external worship seeming to cultivate the true religion, to call God their God, and to depend upon him, yet were obstinately incredulous, extremely inclined to idolatry, and little regardful of those prophesies which Isaiah and other true prophets delivered to them. The meaning of the phrase, Are come forth out of the waters of Judah, is very... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 48:1-2

The Lord called on His people to pay attention to what He had to say to them and to respond appropriately (cf. Isaiah 42:18; Isaiah 46:12). The many descriptions of the Israelites in these verses reminded them of their origins and their identity, their commitments to and their appreciation for Yahweh, and their present relationship with Him. In view of all this, they needed to heed what He said. They had not done that as they should have in the past. read more
