以赛亚书 50:5-7 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:5

The Lord hath opened mine ear . Some understand this of the boring of the ear for perpetual service ( Psalms 40:6 ; Exodus 21:6 ); but it is perhaps better to regard it as intended to mark a contrast between the true Servant and the professed servants, or children of Israel. They "did not hear; their ear was not opened; they were treacherous and rebellious from the womb" ( Isaiah 48:8 ). His ear was opened to receive God's word perpetually; he was not rebellious, did not turn away... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:5-10

Signs of faithful service. Whether this is intended to point to the Person and work of the Messiah, or to that of some living prophet, it treats of the faithful servant of God; it is applicable to any one among us "that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant" ( Isaiah 50:10 ). We find here marks of fidelity in holy service. I. COMING INTO THE SHADOW OF PERSECUTION . In doing this the faithful one: 1 . Follows in the train of the noblest men of ancient... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:6

I gave my back to the smiters (see Isaiah 53:5 , ad fin.; and comp. Matthew 26:67 ; Matthew 27:26 ; John 19:1 ). My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair . This is a detail not historically recorded by the evangelists; but it may have had a literal fulfilment. Plucking off the hair was not unknown to the Jews as a punishment (see Nehemiah 13:25 ). I hid not my face from shame and spitting (see Matthew 26:67 ; Matthew 27:30 ). Spitting in the East marked at once... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:6

Contumely endured in God's service. This is part of a soliloquy of Messiah, and in it he dwells upon the sufferings which would attend his effort to carry out obediently his Divine mission; and upon his confidence that God would uphold his Servant through all the suffering and shame. This passage should be compared with Psalms 22:1-31 and Psalms 53:1-6 . The point more especially presented in this verse is the insult offered to Christ in the closing scenes of his life. This insult... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:7

For the Lord God will help me; rather, but the Lord God will help me. I shall not be left always in the hands of my enemies. In this confidence the Servant rests, and is not confounded, even when the worst happens to him. He sets his face like a flint ; i.e. makes it hard, impassive, expressionless, and at the same time determined, fixed not to give way (comp. Ezekiel 3:8 , Ezekiel 3:9 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:7

God's help in time of need. "For the Lord God will help me." This one assurance suffices, and gives the Servant of Jehovah an indomitable strength. "Against the crowd of mockers he places Adonai Jehovah." "Those whom God employs he will assist, and will take care they want not any help that they or their work call for. God, having laid help upon his Son for us, gave help to him, and his hand was all along with the Man of his right hand" (Matthew Henry). "Greater is he who is with us than all... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 50:5

The Lord God hath opened mine ear - This is another expression denoting that he was attentive to the import of the divine commission (see Psalms 40:6).And I was not rebellious - I willingly undertook the task of communicating the divine will to mankind. The statement here is in accordance with all that is said of the Messiah, that he was willing to come and do the will of God, and that whatever trials the work involved he was prepared to meet them (see Psalms 40:6-8; compare Hebrews 10:4-10). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 50:6

I gave my back to the smiters - I submitted willingly to be scourged, or whipped. This is one of the parts of this chapter which can be applied to no other one but the Messiah. There is not the slightest evidence, whatever may be supposed to have been the probability, that Isaiah was subjected to any such trial as this, or that he was scourged in a public manner. Yet it was literally fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 27:26; compare Luke 18:33).And my cheeks to them that plucked off... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 50:7

For the Lord God will help me - That is, he will sustain me amidst all these expressions of contempt and scorn.Shall I not be confounded - Hebrew, ‘I shall not be ashamed;’ that is, I will bear all this with the assurance of his favor and protection, and I will not blush to be thus treated in a cause so glorious, and which must finally triumph and prevail.Therefore have I set my face like a flint - To harden the face, the brow, the forehead, might be used either in a bad or a good sense - in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 50:5-6

Isaiah 50:5-6. The Lord hath opened mine ear Hath given me a power and will to hear and receive his commands. And I was not rebellious I readily did and suffered what he required of me. Neither turned away back From hearing or obeying his will, how difficult or dangerous soever the work might be to which he called me. He seems to allude to some of the former prophets, who had shrunk back, and for a time refused such work as God called them to, as Moses, Exodus 3:11; Jonah, chap. 1:3, and... read more
