The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-20
The infatuation of sin. In strong, pictorial language the prophet points out— I. THAT SINFUL MEN ACT AS IF THEY COULD AVERT IMPENDING DOOM . They act as if they said, " We have made a covenant with death," etc. Every day the gully and the foolish are living as if they were possessed with a power to wrestle with and overcome approaching doom. The drunkard seems to say, "I will drink, and not be ruined in health;" and the gambler to say, "will stake money, and not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-22
THE REBUKE OF JUDAH 'S NOBLES . The power of the nobles under the later Jewish monarchy is very apparent throughout Isaiah's prophecy. It is they, and not the king, who are always blamed for bad government ( Isaiah 1:10-23 ; Isaiah 3:12-15 , etc.) or errors of policy ( Isaiah 9:15 , Isaiah 9:16 ; Isaiah 22:15-19 , etc.). Isaiah now turns from a denunciation of the priests and prophets, who especially opposed his teaching, to a threatening of the great men who guided the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-22
The judgment prepared for scorner's. "Scorners," in the language of Scripture, are those who set at naught God's prophets, or his messages, or his Holy Word, or his Church, or his ministers. Men delight in such scorn because it seems to them so fine a thing, so grand a thing, so bold, so brave, so heroic. It is a poor thing, comparatively, to exalt one's self against man; it is magnificent to measure one's strength with God's, and enter the lists against him . This may, no doubt, be so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-22
Jehovah pronounces judgment. The rulers or politicians are addressed. They are stigmatized as " men of scorn" (cf. Isaiah 28:22 ; Isaiah 29:20 ; Hosea 7:5 ). The scornful or scoffing habit implies excessive self-confidence on the one hand, on the other contempt of religion and of God. But "be not deceived; God is not mocked." "It has been commonly found," says Calvin, "in almost every age, that the common people, though they are distinguished by unrestrained fierceness and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:16
Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone . In contrast with the insecure refuge and false ground of confidence whereon the nobles relied, the prophet puts forward the one sure "Rock" on which complete dependence may be placed—which he declares that Jehovah is laying, or "has laid," in Zion as a tried stone, a precious corner stone , a sure foundation. The imagery is, no doubt, drawn from the practice of Oriental kings, and notably Solomon, to employ foundation-stones of enormous size... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:16
Christ the Cornerstone. "Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious Corner-stone, a sure Foundation." This stone we all know to be Christ, concerning whom all the prophets did testify. It is historically true that the Stone was laid in Zion, and what we have to treat of is the house. Here is the Foundation. Firm, as the eternal Rock, with its roots in God's own everlasting nature. The Foundation is not created ; it is . God sends forth his Son to be the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:16
The sure Foundation. "A precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation" (Revised Version). It is characteristic of prophetic messages that, however severely sins may be denounced, and judgment declared, in the very midst of the message some word of love and hope and cheer is put in for the sake of the true and faithful ones. God is ever mindful of his elect remnant. Those who are striving to be obedient and righteous in a degenerate age, and in the midst of abounding self-indulgence, are within his... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:20
For the bed is shorter - A mashal or proverbial saying, the meaning of which is, that they will find all means of defense and protection insufficient to secure them, and cover them from the evils coming upon them. מסך massek , Isaiah 22:8 , the covering, is used for the outworks of defense, the barrier of the country; and here, in the allegorical sense, it means much the same thing. Their beds were only mattresses laid on the floor; and the coverlet a sheet, or in the winter a... read more
