以赛亚书 22:16-18 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:15-25

Human reckoning and Divine interruption. We have one instance, if not two—according to the application we give to the "nail" of the twenty-fifth verse—of ill-founded security. It is a lesson very necessary to teach, for it seems to be one very hard to learn. I. HUMAN RECKONING . Shebna had carefully and successfully built up his position in the state, and he made sure that he should keep it; he had not only "feathered his nest," but he had made up his mind that he should "die in his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:16

What hast thou here ? i.e. what business , or what right? It seems, certainly, to be implied that Shebna was wholly unconnected with Jerusalem. Whom hast thou here ? i.e. what relations? what family? To be justified in hewing out a large tomb, Shebna should have had a numerous family for whom graves would be needed. Otherwise, his excavation of a grand sepulcher was merely selfish and ostentatious. As he that heweth him out a sepulcher on high. Jewish tombs of any pretension were... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:16-17

Man's plans for himself frustrated by God's plan for him. The answering New Testament case to this is our Lord's account of the prosperous farmer, who had no room to bestow his fruits and his goods. He said to himself, "I will pull down my barns and build greater." But God said, "Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee." In the passage before us, Shebna, in the full 'assurance that he will die quietly, and be buried honorably in the neighborhood of Jerusalem, proposes to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:17

The Lord win carry thee away with a mighty captivity ; rather, the Lord will hurl thee away , O man , with a hurling ; i.e. "will hurl thee away to a distance." It is not said that Shebna would be a captive. Will surely cover thee ; literally, will cover thee with a covering ; i.e. " will make thee obscure" (Rosenmüller)—a fitting punishment for one who aimed at attracting attention and making himself famous ( Isaiah 22:16 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:17

Captivity, and yet safety. "Behold, the Lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee." These threatenings of the Almighty had mercy at the heart of them. Captivity was a drastic remedy, but it once and again saved the health of Israel It was a time of home-longing and sickness of heart. It was a time when the old religious memories flooded the heart till they filled it with an aching sense of shame for sin, and supplication for mercy. I. GOD CARRIED ... read more

He will surely violently turn and toss thee , etc.; literally, rolling he will roll thee with rolling like a ball , etc. Into a large country . Assyria, or perhaps Egypt. If Shebna was disgraced on account of his recommending the Egyptian alliance, he may not improbably have taken refuge with Tirhakah. There the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house ; rather, there shall be the chariots of thy glory , O thou shame of thy lord ' s house . His chariots, in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:18

God's violent providences. Margin Revised Version, "He will surely wind thee round and round like a ball and toss thee." Generally the figure is assumed to be that of a ball flung violently on a smooth, even plain, where it bounds on and on with nothing to stay its progress. But a gentleman was in the island of Mitylene during a great storm of wind in winter, and observed a peculiar plant, not unlike wormwood, which grows into a compact, globular form, with very stiff stalks and branches.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 22:16

What hast thou here? - This verse contains a severe repoof of the pride and ostentation of Shebna, and of his expectation that he would be buried where be had built his own tomb. It also contains an “implied” declaration that he would not be permitted to lie there, but would be removed to a distant land to be buried in some less honorable manner. It is probable that Isaiah met him when he was at the sepulchre which he had made, and addressed this language to him there: ‘What hast thou here?... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 22:17

Behold, the Lord will carry thee away - Of the historical fact here referred to we have no other information. To what place he was to be carried, we know not. It is probable, however, that it was to Assyria.With a mighty captivity - Hebrew, גבר geber - ‘Of a man,’ or perhaps, ‘O man.’ If it means ‘the captivity of a man,’ the sense is, a strong, irresistible, mighty captivity where the word “man” is emphatic, and means such as a mighty man would make. Compare Job 38:3 : ‘Gird up now thy loins... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 22:18

He will surely violently turn - Lowth has well expressed the sense of this:He will whirl thee round and round, and cast thee away.Thus it refers to the action of throwing a stone with a “sling,” when the sling is whirled round and round several times before the string is let go, in order to increase the velocity of the stone. The idea is here, that God designed to cast him into a distant land, and that he would give such an “impulse” to him that he would be sent afar, so far that he would not... read more
