Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:4

The hasty fruit before the summer "The early fruit before the summer" - "No sooner doth the boccore , (the early fig), draw near to perfection in the middle or latter end of June, than the kermez or summer fig begins to be formed, though it rarely ripens before August; about which time the same tree frequently throws out a third crop, or the winter fig, as we may call it. This is usually of a much longer shape and darker complexion than the kermez , hanging and ripening upon the tree... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:5

In that day - Thus far the prophecy relates to the Israelites, and manifestly denounces their approaching destruction by Shalmaneser. Here it turns to the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, the remnant of God's people who were to continue a kingdom after the final captivity of the Israelites. It begins with a favorable prognostication of their affairs under Hezekiah; but soon changes to reproofs and threatenings for their intemperance, disobedience, and profaneness. Jonathan's Targum on... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:6

The battle to the gate "The war to the gate of the enemy" - That is, who pursue the fleeing enemy even to the very gates of their own city. "But we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate," 2 Samuel 11:23 ; that is, we drove the enemy back to their own gates. See also 1 Samuel 17:52 . The Targum says, The Messiah shall give the victory to those who go out to battle, that he may bring them back to their own houses in peace. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:1

Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkard ; rather, of the drunkards , The "drunkards of Ephraim," or of the ten tribes, were at once intoxicated with wine ( Amos 4:1 ; Amos 6:6 ) and with pride ( Amos 6:13 ). As the external aspect of affairs grew mere and more threatening through the advances of Tiglath-Pileser and Shalmaneser, they gave themselves up more and more to self-indulgence and luxury, lay upon beds of ivory, drank wine from bowls, feasted to the sound of the viol, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:1

The woe of the drunkard. On this subject there is grave danger of saying extravagant, unqualified, and unreasonable things. The abstract rightness or wrongness of using strong drinks must be decided by the individual judgment. Enough now to say that no man with the spirit of a patriot, much less with the spirit of a Christian—who is his brother's keeper,—can observe the growth of drinking habits in modern society without serious alarm; no mothers without grave anxiety for their sons; no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-3

The drunkards of Ephraim. While Scripture, from first to last, upholds the moderate use of wine as cheering and "making glad the heart of man," it is distinct and severe in its denunciations of drunkenness and unrestrained revelry. The son who was "stubborn and rebellious, a glutton and a drunkard," was to be brought by his parents before the ciders under the Jewish Law, and "stoned with stones that he might die" ( Deuteronomy 21:20 , Deuteronomy 21:21 ). Nabal's drunkenness and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-4

A WARNING TO SAMARIA . The prophet has now east his eagle glance over the whole world and over all time. He has denounced woe upon all the principal nations of the earth (Isaiah 13-23.), glanced at the destruction of the world itself ( Isaiah 24:17-20 ), and sung songs over the establishment of Christ's kingdom, and the ingathering of the nations into it (Isaiah 25-27.). In the present chapter he returns to the condition of things in his own time and among his own people. After a brief... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-6

Condition of Samaria. I. DENUNCIATION OF WOE . The condition of Samaria was like that of Jerusalem. And judgment must first fall upon Samaria, and then upon Jerusalem ( Isaiah 8:6 ; cf. Micah 1:6 ). Drunkenness is named," not as the root of the national evil, but rather as its flower. The appalling thing is that when all is on the point of collapsing, those responsible for the state should be given up to careless self-indulgence" (Cheyne). Samaria is described as the city of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-8

The evil of excess: a sermon on intemperance. The allusion here is to the prevalent baneful vice of intemperance. The evils which are connected with it, and which constitute its condemnation, are such as belong to other kinds of excess, but especially and emphatically to it . I. HONOR IS HUMILIATED BY IT . "The crown of pride is trodden under feet" ( Isaiah 28:1 , Isaiah 28:3 ). The proud city, which was, alas! a city given up to drunkenness, should be brought down to the... read more
