以賽亞書 6:10-11 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 6:11-13

The loving-kindness of God shown in his judgments. "I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right , and flat thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me," says the psalmist ( Psalms 119:75 ). No doubt, at last God must simply punish the obdurate and impenitent; but for the most part he sends his judgment upon men in mercy, either to turn them from their sins, or to refine and improve their characters. I. EVEN WHEN GOD SIMPLY PUNISHES , IT IS IN LOVING - KINDNESS TO ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 6:10

Make the heart - The word “heart” here is used in the sense of the “mind” - to denote all their mental powers. It is commonly used in this sense in the Scriptures.Fat - Gross, heavy, dull, stupid. That is, go and proclaim such “truth” to them as shall have this effect - as shall irritate, provoke, enrage them; truth, whose delivery shall be attended, in their gross and corrupt hearts, with this blinding and infatuating influence the effect would be produced by the corrupt state of their hearts,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 6:11

How long - The prophet did not dare to pray that this effect should not follow. He asked merely therefore “how long” this state of things must continue; how long this message was to be delivered, and how long it should be attended with these painful effects.Until the cities ... - They will remain perverse and obstinate until the land is completely destroyed by divine judgments. Still the truth is to be proclaimed, though it is known it will have no effect in reforming the nation. This refers,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 6:9-10

Isaiah 6:9-10. And he said, Go, and tell this people Not my people, for I disown them as they have rejected me. Hear ye indeed, but understand not, &c. The Hebrew words are imperative; yet they are not to be taken as a command, enjoining what the people ought to do, but only as a prediction foretelling what they would do. The sense is, Because you have so long heard my words, and seen my works, to no purpose, and have hardened your hearts, and will not learn nor reform, I will punish... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 6:11-12

Isaiah 6:11-12. Then said I, Lord, how long? An abrupt speech, arising from the prophet’s great passion and astonishment: how long shall this dreadful judgment last? Until the cities be wasted, &c. Until this land be totally destroyed, first by the Babylonians, and afterward by the Romans. And the Lord have removed men far away Hath caused this people to be carried away captive into far countries. And there be a great forsaking Till houses and lands be generally forsaken of their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 6:1-13

God’s call of Isaiah (6:1-13)Isaiah has gone to some length to describe Judah’s spiritual and moral corruption before he mentions God’s call to him to be a prophet. His reason for doing this seems to be that he wants his readers to see why God called him. Their understanding of conditions in Judah will help them understand the sort of task that lay before him.King Uzziah’s death marked the end of an era of prosperity unequalled in Judah’s history. Yet this era brought with it the corruption... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Isaiah 6:10

Make, &c. = Declare or foretell that the heart of this People will be fat. Isaiah could do no more. A common Hebrew idiom. This prophecy is of the deepest import in Israel's history. Written down seven times (Matthew 13:14 .Mark 4:12 .Luke 8:10 . John 12:40 . Acts 28:26 , Acts 28:27 . Romans 11:8 ). Solemnly quoted in three great dispensational crises: (1) By Christ (Matthew 13:14 ), as coming from Jehovah on the day a council was held "to destroy Him". (2) By Christ, as coming from... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 6:9-10

Isaiah 6:9-10. And he said, Go, &c.— In this commission given by God to the prophet, we have, first, the preface, in which he is enjoined to bear God's denunciation to the Jewish people; whom God does not as usual call his people, but this people; Go and tell this people. We have, secondly, the words themselves, comprehending the divine command, and which God puts into the mouth of the prophet; words, which we find frequently repeated, at least as to their sense, in the gospels, where we... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 6:10

10. Make . . . fat— ( :-). "Render them the more hardened by thy warnings" [MAURER]. This effect is the fruit, not of the truth in itself, but of the corrupt state of their hearts, to which God here judicially gives them over (Isaiah 63:17). GESENIUS takes the imperatives as futures. "Proclaim truths, the result of which proclamation will be their becoming the more hardened" (Romans 1:28; Ephesians 4:18); but this does not so well as the former set forth God as designedly giving up sinners to... read more
