Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 9:9
Pride and stoutness of heart "Carry themselves haughtily" - וידעו veyadeu , "and they shall know;" so ours and the Versions in general. But what is it that they shall know? The verb stands destitute of its object; and the sense is imperfect. The Chaldee is the only one, as far as I can find, that expresses it otherwise. He renders the verb in this place by ואתרברבו veithrabrabu , "they exalt themselves, or carry themselves haughtily; the same word by which he renders גבהו gabehu ... read more

The bricks - "The eastern bricks," says Sir John Chardin, (see Harmer's Observ. I., p. 176), "are only clay well moistened with water, and mixed with straw, and dried in the sun." So that their walls are commonly no better than our mud walls; see Maundrell, p. 124. That straw was a necessary part in the composition of this sort of bricks, to make the parts of the clay adhere together, appears from Exodus 5. These bricks are properly opposed to hewn stone, so greatly superior in beauty and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 9:11
The adversaries of Rezin against him "The princes of Retsin against him" - For צרי tsarey , enemies, Houbigant, by conjecture, reads שרי sarey , princes; which is confirmed by thirty of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., (two ancient), one of my own, ancient; and nine more have צ tsaddi , upon a rasure, and therefore had probably at first שרי sarey . The princes of Retsin, the late ally of Israel, that is, the Syrians, expressly named in the next verse, shall now be excited... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 9:8
Jacob … Israel. These words do not show that the prophecy is directed against the kingdom of Israel only. "Jacob" designates Judah rather than Israel in Isaiah 2:3 , Isaiah 2:5 , Isaiah 2:6 ; and the expression, "both the houses of Israel," in Isaiah 8:14 , shows that the term "Israel" embraces both kingdoms. Tim distinctive names by which Isaiah ordinarily designates the northern kingdom are "Ephraim" and "Samaria." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 9:8-12
The evil spirit of defiance. The spirit which is here rebuked is that of a guilty defiance of God. Jehovah had visited Israel with the signs of his displeasure—had humbled and impoverished her. What attitude should she now assume? That of humility and amendment? Nothing was further from her mind. She would contend in her own strength against her fate, against the Lord who had abased her; she would show to him the futility of his correction. The bricks might be fallen down; it was of no... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 9:17
Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men ,.... Take no delight and pleasure in them; but, on the contrary, detest and abhor them, and so destroy them, being depraved and corrupted by the bad instructions and examples of their parents: neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows ; who are objects of pity and compassion; yet these being wicked, as well as the fathers of the one, and the husbands of the other, shall be no more spared than they have been; so that... read more
