以賽亞書 57:6-7 RCUVTS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 57:7

Upon a lofty and high mountain - The design of this verse and the following, is, to show the extent, the prevalence, the publicity, and the grossness of their idolatry. The language is that which would appropriately express adulterous intercourse, and is designed to show the abhorrence in which God held their conduct. The language is easy to be understood, and it would not be proper to go into an extended explanation of the phrases used. It is common in the Scriptures to compare idolatry among... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 57:5-6

Isaiah 57:5-6. Inflaming yourselves with idols Hebrew, הנחמים , being inflamed, or growing hot, after idols, as Dr. Waterland renders it. Lusting after them, and mad upon them, as the phrase is, Jeremiah 50:38. Fervent, both in making and in worshipping them, as was observed Isaiah 44:12. Under every green tree Wherever you see an idol erected, which was commonly done in groves, or under great and shady trees, which defended the worshippers from the heat of the sun, and were... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 57:7-8

Isaiah 57:7-8. Upon a lofty and high mountain In high places, which were much used for religious worship, both by the Israelites and heathen: hast thou set thy bed Thine altar, as appears from the sacrifice mentioned in the next clause, where thou didst commit spiritual whoredom with idols. Behind the doors also and the posts Behind the posts of the doors of thy house; hast thou set up thy remembrance That is, the images of their tutelary gods, or some monuments or tokens, placed... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 57:1-21

Corruption and idolatry (56:9-57:21)The Assyrian captivity of the northerners and the Babylonian captivity of the southerners did not include the whole populations. Those who were of no use to the conquerors were left behind, along with scattered country people who escaped the enemy. These and their descendants soon followed the old religious practices of the Canaanite people. They worshipped idols, offered human sacrifices to the god Molech, and practised fertility rites with religious... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 57:6

Isaiah 57:6. Among the smooth stones, &c.— Among the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion; these, these are thy lot: Even to these hast thou poured out thy libation, hast thou presented thine offering. Can I see these things with acquiescence? Vitringa thinks that the meaning of the first clause is, "They shall be thrown into the deep and low valleys, where they perform the execrable rites above-mentioned, and shall there perish." read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 57:6

6. The smooth stones, shaped as idols, are the gods chosen by thee as thy portion ( :-). meat offering—not a bloody sacrifice, but one of meal and flour mingled with oil. "Meat" in Old English meant food, not flesh, as it means now (Leviticus 14:10). Should I receive comfort—rather, "Shall I bear these things with patience?" [HORSLEY]. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 57:3-13

Rampant apostasy 57:3-13Isaiah identified another mark of Israel, which boasted in its election by God and viewed righteousness in terms of correct worship ritual. This was the widespread departure of the nation from God (apostasy). She had forsaken God and had pursued idols. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 57:6

Having chosen to worship in the wadis, the apostate Israelites would have to be content to have the rocks of the wadis as their gods (cf. Romans 1:20-25). A wadi (Heb. nahal) is a streambed that is dry most of the year but in the rainy season becomes a rushing torrent. As mountaintops became places of worship because they were close to heaven and the gods, so wadis in valleys became places of worship because they were close to Sheol and the dead. The unfaithful in Israel even made drink and... read more
