以賽亞書 57:13-15 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:14

And shall say; rather, and one said. The prophet hears a voice, saying, Cast ye up, cast ye up ; i.e. make a highway to the holy mountain by heaping up material ( Isaiah 62:10 ); and, having made it, remove every obstruction from the path of my (righteous) people. The voice is, probably, an angelic one. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:14

The ministry of angels. Without intruding it on the reader's attention, Isaiah is continually implying the interest which angels take in all God's dealings with his Church, and the assistance which they render. Voices fill the heavenly sphere around him and about him, which can only be angelic utterances, and from time to time he records the sayings. Sometimes he records them openly as angelic; e.g. the seraph's words, when he took the live coal from the altar in the court of heaven, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:15

For . The ground of the promise of salvation in Isaiah 57:15 is God's combined might and mercy, which are now set forth. The high and lofty One (comp. Isaiah 6:1 , where the same words are translated "high and lifted up"). In God's loftiness are included at once his exalted majesty and his almighty power. He is "high" in himself, transcending thought, and "lofty" or "lifted up" in that he is absolute Lord of his creatures, and therefore high above them. That inhabiteth eternity . So... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:15

The humility of God. An ancient Jewish writer says, "Wherever the Scripture bears witness to the Divine mightiness, it brings out side by side with it the Divine humbleness" ('Megilla,' 31, a ); and this is nowhere more strikingly manifested than m the present passage. God "dwells in the high and holy place"—in the most exalted sphere to which human thought can possibly mount; and yet at the same time he dwells with the human spirit that is humble and crushed. As Delitzsch says, "The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:15

The new test of religion. "I dwell … also in him that is contrite, and of a lowly spirit." The earlier test of religion had been formal, and precise obedience to all the claims and conditions of the Jehovah-covenant; the exact keeping of every ritual, social, and national requirement. St. Paul states the old test thus: "The man that doeth them shall live in them." It was the work of the prophets to introduce the new moral test, and prepare the way for the higher spiritual test of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:15-16

The greatness of God and the hope of the humble. The prophet presents us with a most noble contrast as he draws for us the surpassing greatness of the infinite God, and then pictures him to us as resident in a humble human soul— I. THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF GOD . And this whether we have regard to II. THE HOPE OF THE HUMBLE IN REGARD TO HIM . We naturally ask—What hope is there that finite and guilty men can ever be brought into a close relationship with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:15-21

A PROMISE OF SALVATION TO THE HUMBLE AND PENITENT , WITH A FURTHER THREAT AGAINST THE WICKED . The prophet, in this portion of his discourse, whereof "comfort" is the key-note ( Isaiah 40:1 ), can never continue threatening long without relapsing into a tone of tenderness and pity. He now sets against his long denunciation (in Isaiah 57:3-12 ) an ample promise ( Isaiah 57:15-19 ), and against his brief encouragement (in Isaiah 57:13 , Isaiah 57:14 ) a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 57:15-21

The character of Jehovah I. HIS EXALTATION . "High and holy:" high because holy, exalted far above the meanness of human thoughts and the impurity of human ways. Far above creatures of all species and all ranks, it is needless further to designate him. He is the Incomparable One. He dwells in eternity (cf. Isaiah 9:6 ). His Name is "the Holy One" ( Isaiah 1:4 ; Isaiah 30:11 ; Isaiah 40:25 ; Isaiah 41:14 ; Isaiah 43:3 , Isaiah 43:8 ; Isaiah 47:4 ); his place the high and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 57:13

When thou criest - That is, when you are in trouble, and feel your need of help.Let thy companies deliver thee - The word used here (קבוּץ qibûts) means, properly, “a gathering; a throng; a collection.” Here it refers either to the throngs of the idols which they had collected. and on which they relied; or to the collection of foreigners which they had summoned to their assistance. The idea is, that if people trust to other objects for aid than the arm of God, they will be left in the day of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 57:14

And shall say - Lowth, ‘Then will I say.’ Noyes, ‘Men will say.’ The word אמר 'âmar seems to be used here impersonally, and to mean, ‘One shall say;’ that is it shall be said. The Septuagint and the Syriac render it, ‘They shall say.’ The idea is, that the obstacles would be removed from the path of those who put their trust in God. The language is derived from the return from the exile, as if persons should go before them and should cry, ‘Cast ye up;’ or as if the cry of the people all along... read more
