Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 30:29

Isaiah 30:29. Ye shall have a song, &c.— The consequence of God's judgment upon the Assyrian, the prophet here declares, should be great rejoicing in the Jewish church, celebrated with hymns and songs on that night in which their haughty enemy should be destroyed: such songs as the Israelites used when delivered from Egypt, and on other occasions. See Exodus 15:1; Exodus 15:27. Judges 5:1; Judges 5:31. The holy solemnity seems to mean the passover, when the great הלל hallel was sung. The... read more

Immanent restoration in spite of unfaithfulness 30:27-33From the distant future (millennial blessings), Isaiah turned to the immediate future and promised deliverance from the Assyrian threat. In spite of the Judahites’ sinful reliance on Egypt, God would spare them from defeat at the hands of the Assyrians. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 30:29-30

The Judahites would rejoice as they worshipped the Lord because of His deliverance (cf. Exodus 15:21; Exodus 17:1-7). It would be spectacular. The storm god with upraised arm was a familiar motif in ancient Near Eastern art. [Note: Pritchard, ed., The Ancient . . ., pp. 481, 484, 486, 490, 531, 532.] read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 30:29

(29) Ye shall have a song . . .—The “holy solemnity,” or feast, was probably the Feast of Tabernacles, the feast of in-gathering, of all the festivals of the Jewish year the most abounding in its joy. In later times, and probably, therefore, in earlier, it had a night-ritual of special solemnity, the court of the Temple being illuminated with a great candelabrum. It was known as being pre-eminently “the feast” (1 Kings 8:2; 1 Kings 8:65; 1 Kings 12:32; Ezekiel 45:25; 2 Chronicles 7:8-9). The... read more

True Imperialism Isaiah 30:2 Many of the changes that time brings are on the surface of life. There is a certain stability at the heart of things. The great laws of life change not. The selfsame sunlight that put an end to Jacob's conflict with the angel gilds our joys and guides our toils Today. So is it with these human hearts of ours. So is it with the great common sentiments and necessities. Motives that swayed men's lives when the world was young can be traced in modern life. Life changes... read more

CHAPTER XIIIPOLITICS AND FAITHABOUT 720 B.C.Isaiah 30:1-33THIS prophecy of Isaiah rises out of circumstances a little more developed than those in which chapter 29 was composed. Sennacherib is still engaged with Babylon, and it seems that it will yet be long before he marches his armies upon Syria. But Isaiah’s warning has at last roused the politicians of Judah from their carelessness. We need not suppose that they believed all that Isaiah predicted about the dire siege which Jerusalem should... read more
