以赛亚书 34:8 CUVS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 34:7-8

Isaiah 34:7-8. And the unicorns shall come down The word ראמים , reemim, here rendered unicorns, is the same with that used Numbers 23:22, where see the note. Bishop Lowth renders it here, wild goats; and Dr. Waterland, stags. But many learned men prefer the marginal reading, rhinoceros. It is impossible to determine precisely what sort of a creature is meant, but it is allowed by all that it was a beast of great strength and fierceness, and that it is here used metaphorically,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 34:1-17

34:1-35:10 MORE ABOUT JUDGMENT AND SALVATIONJerusalem’s final triumph over Assyria is followed by further pictures of God’s final judgment on the world and the blessings that will follow.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 34:5-8

Isaiah 34:5-8. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven— The meaning of this period is, that on a certain day of judgment, which is elsewhere called the great day of the Lord's vengeance, a mighty slaughter shall be made of the hardened enemies of the church, a long time oppressed and afflicted by them, with the effusion of much blood, and the destruction of many great, noble, and powerful men. The figure is taken from the master of a family, who, preparing a great feast, and a sacrifice, finds... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 34:8

8. recompenses for the controversy of Zion—that is, the year when God will retaliate on those who have contended with Zion. Her controversy is His. Edom had thought to extend its borders by laying hold of its neighbor's lands and has instigated Babylon to cruelty towards fallen Judah (Psalms 137:7; Ezekiel 36:5); therefore Edom shall suffer the same herself (Lamentations 4:21; Lamentations 4:22). The final winding up of the controversy between God and all enemies of Him and His people is also... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 34:5-17

Edom as an example 34:5-17The prophet now introduced Edom, as a case in point, whose end would be typical of the whole earth (cf. Isaiah 11:14; Isaiah 63:1-6). If Edom alone had been in view, Isaiah probably would have dealt with it as he did the other nations in the oracles earlier in the book (chs. 13-23). But why Edom? The Old Testament consistently treats Edom as the antithesis of Israel (cf. Obad.). Isaac told Esau that he would live in an infertile area (Genesis 27:39-40)."Recollecting... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 34:8

A fourth reason for this slaughter is that the Lord will take vengeance on those who have trodden down Zion. He will act for His people against those who have cursed them (cf. Genesis 12:3). Even though we do not know when this will happen, God has a timetable for this judgment and will keep to it. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 34:1-10

Sentence on the Nations. Blessings in Store for God’s PeopleThese chapters are now generally considered non-Isaianic and referred to the period of the exile, on two grounds: (a) the literary style is unlike Isaiah’s. (b) The strong feeling against Edom points to a date subsequent to the capture of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, when the Edomites exulted in the city’s fall and sided against the Jews, conduct which provoked bitter resentment (Obadiah 1:10-16; Lamentations 4:21-22; Psalms... read more
