Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 59:3-8

Isaiah 59:3-8. For your hands are defiled— The prophet here goes on to specify those iniquities which he had mentioned in general, and in such an order, that he distributes them, as it were, through the members of the human body; the hands, the mouth, the feet; dwelling longest, however, upon the faults committed by the mouth; which are set forth literally and properly, first, in the middle of Isa 59:3-4 and then figuratively, Isaiah 59:5-6. The meaning of the expression, They hatch cockatrice'... read more

Isaiah’s evidence 59:1-8"This passage describes the appalling moral breakdown of Jewish society-which perfectly accords with what we know of the degeneracy of Manasseh’s reign." [Note: Archer, p. 650.] The prophet resumed his accusations against God’s people (cf. Isaiah 58:1-5). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 59:1-15

What Israel did 59:1-15aAs mentioned above, this second segment of the section dealing with the relationship of righteousness and ritual (chs. 58-59) deals with the inability of God’s redeemed people to produce righteous behavior in their own strength. Chapter 57 dealt with their inability to break with idolatry in their own strength."In chapter 57 he [Isaiah] condemned adulterous paganism, in chapter 58 hypocritical fasting, while here it is chiefly injustice that calls forth his condemnation.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 59:5-6

The results of such a society are serpents’ eggs and spider webs. Instead of receiving nourishment from the eggs, the eggs either poison or, if hatched, fatally attack the eater. Instead of receiving warmth from the beautifully woven web, the web fails to clothe and instead entangles its wearer. This was because the work the people expended to secure food and clothing was self-centered. People even resorted to physical violence to get what they wanted for themselves. Such a society promises... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 59:5

(5) They hatch cockatrice’ eggs.—Better, basilisk’s, as in Isaiah 14:29. The schemes of the evil-doers are displayed in their power for evil and their impotence for good. To “eat of the eggs,” which are assumed to be poisonous, is to fall in with their schemes, and so be ruined: to “crush” them is to oppose and so to rouse a more venomous opposition. Men break the egg, and the living viper darts forth to attack them. read more

Sin As Separation From God Isaiah 59:2 We cannot fathom the mystery of sin; we may not even ask the questions, How? and Why? But we may contemplate the terrible fact, and remind ourselves of what it is. All sin, in its degree, separates the soul from God: and whatever separates from God is sin. I. All sin in its degree separates the soul from God, 'and sin, when it is perfected, bringeth forth death'. For as the separation of the body from the soul is the death of the body, so the utter... read more
