Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 57:1

This is the final chapter (the 9th) in Section B of Division VI of Isaiah's prophecy; and it is composed principally of a series of severe warnings to God's people (the Jews) that nothing but disaster awaits them because of their turning away from God, their unspeakable ungodliness, idolatry, and hypocritical wickedness.There is no doubt whatever of its having been authored by Isaiah, and the time envisioned in the chapter is that of the times of Isaiah himself, and the times immediately... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 57:1-2

Isaiah 57:1-2. The righteous perisheth, &c.— These words contain a kind of prelude to the distressful scene which is opened immediately after; for the prophet designing to describe the melancholy state of the adulterous church, to be chastised by the severe judgments of God, he beholds the few pious and good men yet remaining in the church, gradually falling off and taken away, either by an immature or a violent death; while there were but few who laid this matter to heart, and observed it... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 57:1

1. no man layeth it to heart—as a public calamity. merciful men—rather, godly men; the subjects of mercy. none considering—namely, what was the design of Providence in removing the godly. from the evil—Hebrew, from the face of the evil, that is, both from the moral evil on every side (Isaiah 56:10-12), and from the evils about to come in punishment of the national sins, foreign invasions, c.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 57:1

As the leadership of the nation grew worse, the number of righteous people shrank, without people perceiving what was happening. God allowed this disappearance of the devout to spare them the judgment He would bring on the evil nation and its ungodly rulers. Few people in the nation, however, understood this reason for the depletion of the righteous."Such deaths are not understood by the godless, for they do not realize that God in His goodness often takes righteous men to Himself to deliver... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 57:1

LVII.(1) The righteous perisheth . . .—The words seem written as if in the anticipation or in the actual presence of Manasseh’s persecution of the true prophets. Even before that persecution burst out in its full violence, the “righteous” survivors of Hezekiah’s régime may well have vexed their souls even to death with the evils that were around them. The prophet finds comfort in the thought that their death was a deliverance from yet worse evils. The singular number points to the few... read more

Wearied in the Greatness of the Way Isaiah 57:10 Weariness spiritual weariness that is our subject tonight. It seems that in this chapter, as so often, the language of the Prophet is suggested by the incidents of national history. The memorable journey of Israel through the wilderness, in the passage from Egypt to Canaan, was fraught with many lessons concerning human infirmity and concerning Divine righteousness and grace. In this passage, where Isaiah laments the sinful defections of the... read more
