The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 64:8-12

Pleas for mercy. Israel had three main grounds on which they could rely in pleading to God for mercy. I. GOD WAS THEIR MAKER . The framer of a work cannot see without dissatisfaction the destruction of his work, or its deterioration, or its depravation to purposes lower. than those intended for it. This dissatisfaction is the greater, the more considerable the labour and the thought that has been expended upon the work, the greater the care that has been taken of it, the longer... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 64:8-12

A twofold plea. The prophet addresses himself to God in earnest prayer for Divine interposition, and he uses a twofold plea. I. THE INTIMACY AND FULNESS OF GOD 'S RELATIONSHIP . 1 . God was their Creator. He made them as truly as the potter fashions the clay; they were his workmanship ( Isaiah 64:8 ). 2 . God was their Father. He had cared for them and bestowed on them his parental love; would he abandon his own children? 3 . God was their Redeemer. He... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 64:9

Be not wroth very sore. At the time of the Captivity God was wroth very sore ( Lamentations 5:22 ). His auger was hot against the sheep of his pasture ( Psalms 74:1 ). But they had suffered, they had been afflicted many years. Might he not now relent, and remit somewhat from his fierce anger? Neither remember iniquity (comp. Psalms 79:8 ). God had already made a promise by the mouth of Isaiah, "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy trangressions, and will not remember thy sins " ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 64:10

Thy holy cities are a wilderness. Commonly Jerusalem stands alone as "the holy city" ( Isaiah 48:2 ; Isaiah 56:1 ; Daniel 9:24 ; Nehemiah 11:1 , Nehemiah 11:18 ); but here the epithet is applied to the cities of Judah generally. They were all in a certain sense "holy," as being comprised within the limits of "the holy land" ( Zechariah 2:12 ) and "the holy border" ( Psalms 78:54 ). Zion … Jerusalem (see the comment on Isaiah 62:1 ). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 64:8

But now, O Lord, thou art our Father - (See the notes at Isaiah 63:16).We are the clay - The idea seems to be, that their condition then had been produced by him as clay is moulded by the potter, and that they were to be returned and restored entirely by him - as they had no more power to do it than the clay had to shape itself. The sense is, that they were wholly in his hand and at his disposal (see the notes at Isaiah 29:16; Isaiah 45:9).And thou our potter - Thou hast power to mould us as... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 64:10

Thy holy cities are a wilderness - It is to be remembered that this is supposed to be spoken near the close of the exile in Babylon. In accordance with the usual custom in this book, Isaiah throws himself forward by prophetic anticipation into that future period, and describes the scene as if it were passing before his eyes (see the Introduction, Section 7). He uses language such as the exiles would use; he puts arguments into their mouths which it would be proper for them to use; he describes... read more

Isaiah 64:8-9. But now, O Lord, thou art our Father Notwithstanding all this, thou art our Father, having both created and adopted us; therefore pity us thy children; we are the clay, and thou our potter We are in thy hands as clay in the hands of the potter: thou canst form us, and dispose of us as thou pleasest. And we will not quarrel with thee, however thou art pleased to deal with us. We are all the work of thy hands Therefore forget us not, forsake us not, but spare, and preserve,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 64:10-12

Isaiah 64:10-12. Thy holy cities Zion and Jerusalem, mentioned immediately after; or other cities also in the land of Judea besides these two; called holy, because God had his synagogues in them, in which he was worshipped, Psalms 74:8. Zion is a wilderness, &c. Utterly waste: not only the ordinary cities, but Zion and Jerusalem themselves are in a state of ruin and desolation. Our holy and beautiful house Our temple. Not only our principal cities, but even our temple, which we... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 64:1-12

A prayer for Israel (63:7-64:12)The prophet’s prayer for God’s suffering people begins by recalling God’s great acts of love in the past (7). Because Israel was his people, God saved them from slavery in Egypt, though when they rebelled against him, they were punished (8-10). Nevertheless, God forgave them. Therefore, asks the prophet, could not this God of mercy and love, who has done such great things for Israel in the past, also save his people from captivity in Babylon now (11-14)?It seems... read more
