The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 1:8

The daughter of Zion. Not "the faithful Church" (Kay), but the city of Jerusalem, which is thus personified. Comp. Isaiah 47:1 , Isaiah 47:5 , where Babylon is called the "daughter of the Chaldeans;" and Lamentations 1:6 ; Lamentations 2:1 , Lamentations 2:4 , Lamentations 2:8 , Lamentations 2:10 , where the phrase here used is repeated in the same sense. More commonly it designates the people without the city ( Lamentations 2:13 ; Lamentations 4:22 ; Micah 3:8 , Micah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 1:9

Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom. Lowth and Cheyne prefer to divide the two clauses differently, and to translate, "Except the Lord of hosts had left us a remnant, within a little we should have been like Sodom." The "remnant" is that of the few godly men who still inhabit Jerusalem. The comparison of Jerusalem with Sodom is made again in Isaiah 3:9 , and is carried out at some length by Ezekiel ( Ezekiel 16:44-57 ). It implies... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 1:9

The faithful remnant. Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah." This is as music of hope amid a strain of grief. And it is the first note of an evangelic prophecy, which is to merge into the "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people," of a later chapter. Where there is life there is hope in national calamity as well as in personal sickness. " A cottage in a vineyard" is a cottage that speaks of home ( ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 1:8

And the daughter of Zion - Zion, or Sion, was the name of one of the hills on which the city of Jerusalem was built. On this hill formerly stood the city of the Jebusites, and when David took it from them he transferred to it his court, and it was called the city of David, or the holy hill. It was in the southern part of the city. As Zion became the residence of the court, and was the most important part of the city, the name was often used to denote the city itself, and is often applied to the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 1:9

Except ... - It is owing entirely to the mercy of God, that we are not like Sodom. The prophet traces this not to the goodness of the nation, not to any power or merit of theirs, but solely to the mercy of God. This passage the apostle Paul has used in an argument to establish the doctrine of divine sovereignty in the salvation of people; see the note at Romans 9:29.The Lord - Hebrew Yahweh. Note Isaiah 1:2.Of hosts - צבאות tsebâ'ôth - the word sometimes translated “Sabaoth”; Romans 9:29;... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 1:7-8

Isaiah 1:7-8. Your country is desolate “The description of the ruined and desolate state of the country, in these verses,” says Bishop Lowth, “does not suit with any part of the prosperous times of Uzziah and Jotham. It very well agrees with the time of Ahaz, when Judea was ravaged by the joint invasion of the Israelites and Syrians, and by the incursions of the Philistines and Edomites. The date of this prophecy is therefore generally fixed to the time of Ahaz.” Strangers devour it in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 1:9

Isaiah 1:9. Except the Lord had left us a remnant If God, by his infinite power and goodness, had not restrained our enemies, and reserved some of us, we should have been as Sodom The whole nation of us had been utterly cut off, as the people of Sodom and Gomorrah were. So great was the rage and power of our enemies, and so utterly unable were we to deliver ourselves. This remnant was “a type of those few converts among the Jews, who, embracing the gospel, escaped both the temporal and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 1:1-9

1:1-6:13JUDAH AN UNCLEAN PEOPLEGod judges Judah (1:1-9)The opening chapter introduces most of the main issues that the prophet is to deal with, and therefore is a summary of the overall message of the book. The scene is one of judgment. God is the judge, his people the accused, heaven and earth the witnesses. The charge is that Judah has rebelled against God. Even animals are grateful for what their masters do for them, but the people of Judah show no gratitude to their heavenly Father... read more
