Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 29:21

Him that reproveth in the gate "Him that pleaded in the gate" - "They are heard by the treasurer, master of the horse, and other principal officers of the regency of Algiers, who sit constantly in the gate of the palace for that purpose:" that is, the distribution of justice. - Shaw's Travels, p. 315, fol. He adds in the note, "That we read of the elders in the gate. Deuteronomy 21:15 ; Deuteronomy 25:7 ; and, Isaiah 29:21 ; Amos 5:10 , of him that reproveth and rebuketh in the gate.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 29:22

Who redeemed Abraham - As God redeemed Abraham from among idolaters and workers of iniquity, so will he redeem those who hear the words of the Book, and are humbled before him, Isaiah 29:18 , Isaiah 29:19 . Concerning the house of Jacob "The God of the house of Jacob" - I read אל El as a noun, not a preposition: the parallel line favors this sense; and there is no address to the house of Jacob to justify the other. Neither shall his face now wax pale "His face shall no more be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:13-17

The Church which God condemns. Here is— I. A CHURCH CONDEMNED OF GOD . It has four characteristics of which the Lord complains. 1. Unspiritual worship . "This people draw near me with their mouth," etc. ( Isaiah 29:13 ). The service of the lip without the homage of the heart is an unacceptable sacrifice to God (see Psalms 50:1-23 .; Psalms 78:36 , Psalms 78:37 ; Isaiah 50:1-11 .; Ezekiel 33:31 ; Matthew 15:8 , Matthew 15:9 ; John 4:24 ). To take sacred... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:17

Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field . Lebanon, the wild forest, shall become smiling garden-ground, while garden-ground shall revert into wild uncultivated forest. An inversion of the moral condition of Judaea is shadowed forth by the metaphor. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:17-24

A RENEWAL OF PROMISE . God's judgment ( Isaiah 29:14 ), whatever it is, will pass. In a little while there will be a great change. The lowly will be exalted, the proud abased. From the "meek" and "poor' will be raised a body of true worshippers, who will possess spiritual discernment ( Isaiah 29:18 ), while the oppressors and "scorners" will be brought to naught. When Isaiah expected this change is uncertain; but he holds out the hope of it here, as elsewhere so frequently ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:17-24

Religious revivals. It is sometimes supposed that religious revivals are modern inventions, concessions to the weakness of the degenerate man of the nineteenth century; and no doubt there have been features in many so-called "revivals" which have justified this view of them. But, in point of fact, revivals, if we follow out the history of religion, are found to be movements which have belonged to all ages, and without which it appears more than probable that religion in this world would... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:17-24

A time of regeneration. A time of refreshing and of renewal is, notwithstanding all the gloom of preceding pictures, at hand. I. THE CHANGE IN NATURE . "One of Isaiah's most characteristic ideas is a future transformation of nature corresponding to that of man" (Cheyne). The forest will be turned into the garden-land. Lebanon stands for the wild or uncultivated land (cf. Isaiah 10:18 , Isaiah 10:34 ). The passage in Isaiah 32:15 is parallel. When God again begins to bless... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:18

In that day — i.e; when that time comes— shall the deaf hear the words of the book ; the spiritually deaf shall have their ears opened, many of them, and shall not only hear, but understand, the words of Scripture addressed to them by God's messengers. No particular "book" is intended— sepher being without the article, but the words of any writing put forth with Divine authority. The eyes of the blind shall see also out of obscurity. Men shall shake off the "deep sleep" ( Isaiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:18-24

The hour of revival. I. ITS CHARACTERISTICS . 1. The spirit of docility . Those once deaf now " hear the words of the book" ( Isaiah 29:18 ); " They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine" ( Isaiah 29:24 ). It is one of the surest signs of the presence of God's Spirit that the attitude of insensibility or of captiousness is exchanged for the desire to learn the will of God—that those who once held aloof... read more
