以賽亞書 6:5 CUNPTS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 6:5

Wo is me! - That is, I am filled with overwhelming convictions of my own unworthiness, with alarm that I have seen Yahweh.For I am undone - Margin, ‘Cut off.’ Chaldee, ‘I have sinned.’ Septuagint, ‘I am miserable, I am pierced through.’ Syriac, ‘I am struck dumb.’ The Hebrew word may sometimes have this meaning, but it also means “to be destroyed, to be ruined, to perish;” see Hosea 10:15; Zephaniah 1:2; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 15:1. This is probably the meaning here, ‘I shall be ruined, or... read more

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

Isaiah 6:5. Then said I, &c. The second part of this vision begins here, containing the sanctification of the prophet, in order to his undertaking of a great prophetical office, and showing, 1st, his state of mind upon the sight of the preceding illustrious vision: his consternation under a sense of his great unworthiness; and, 2d, describing the singular mode of his sanctification Wo is me, for I am undone, &c. That is, if God deal with me in strict justice. For I have made... 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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 6:5-7

Isaiah 6:5-7. Then said I, &c.— The second part of this vision contains the sanctification of the prophet for the undertaking of a great prophetical office, and consists of two parts: the first describes the prophet's state of mind upon the sight of the preceding illustrious vision: His consternation upon the sense of his great unworthiness. He expresses his fear of perishing, (I am undone,) because, being a man of unclean lips, and dwelling amongst an unclean people, he was therefore unfit... read more

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

Isaiah feared that he would be consumed since he was in the presence of the purest of all beings. He announced woe on himself; he was in deep trouble (cf. Isaiah 5:8; Isaiah 5:11; Isaiah 5:18; Isaiah 5:20-22). These are the first words that Isaiah himself spoke in this book, and they announce a prophetic woe on himself. He first had to become aware of his own sin and uncleanness before he could worship God as he should. Not only did he have unclean lips, but he dwelt among a people whose lips... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 6:1-13

The Prophet’s CallThis c., which recounts the prophet’s call and commission, would stand first in a chronological arrangement of the book. The opening words remind us of the vision of Micaiah (1 Kings 22:19), and we should compare the visions of Jeremiah and Ezekiel which inaugurated their prophetic activity. In St. John’s vision (Revelation 4) the same anthem, ’Holy, holy, holy,’ is sung by the six-winged living creatures round about the throne. Isaiah’s vision foreshadows such leading... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 6:5

(5) Then said I, Woe is me.—The cry of the prophet expresses the normal result of man’s consciousness of contact with God. So Moses “hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God” (Exodus 3:6). So Job “abhorred himself and repented in dust and ashes” (Job 42:6). So Peter fell down at his Lord’s feet, and cried, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord” (Luke 5:8). Man at such a time feels his nothingness in the presence of the Eternal, his guilt in the presence of the All-holy. No man... read more
