Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:14

And my hand hath found, as a nest - By a beautiful and striking figure here, the Assyrian monarch is represented as describing the ease with which he had subdued kingdoms, and rifled them of their treasures. No resistance had been offered. He had taken them with as little opposition as a rustic takes possession of a nest, with its eggs or young, when the parent bird is away.Eggs that are left - That is, eggs that are left of the parent bird; when the bird from fright, or any other cause, has... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:15

Shall the axe ... - In this verse God reproves the pride and arrogance of the Assyrian monarch. He does it by reminding him that he was the mere instrument in his hand, to accomplish his purposes; and that it was just as absurd for him to boast of what he had done, as it would be for the axe to boast when it had been welded with effect. In the axe there is no wisdom, no skill, no power; and though it may lay the forest low, yet it is not by any skill or power which it possesses. So with the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:16

Therefore shall the Lord - Hebrew, אדון 'ādôn.The Lord of hosts - In the present Hebrew text, the original word is also אדני 'ădonāy, but fifty-two manuscripts and six editions read Jehovah. On the meaning of the phrase, “the Lord of hosts,” see the note at Isaiah 1:9. This verse contains a threatening of the punishment that would come upon the Assyrian for his insolence and pride, and the remainder of the chapter is mainly occupied with the details of that punishment. The punishment here... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 10:13-14

Isaiah 10:13-14. For he saith, &c. “From hence to the twentieth verse we have a more full exposition and confirmation of what had gone before, particularly the pride of the Assyrian and his vain boasting in these verses; a refutation thereof in Isaiah 10:15; and the punishment ordained for him by God, in Isaiah 10:16-19. By the strength of my hand I have done it, &c. Here the prophet sets forth his insolent boasting of the greatness of his deeds, the prosperity of his empire, and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 10:15

Isaiah 10:15. Shall the axe boast itself, &c. How absurd is it for thee, who art but an instrument in God’s hand, to blaspheme thy Lord and Master, who has as great power over thee as a man hath over the axe wherewith he heweth? As if the rod, &c. See the margin; or, as if the staff, &c. Should forget that it was wood, and should pretend, or attempt, to lift up itself Either without, or against the man that moveth it. As if it were no wood Literally translated, it is, ... read more

Isaiah 10:16-19. Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts The sovereign Lord and General of his and of all other armies; send among his fat ones leanness Strip him, and all his great princes and commanders, of all their wealth, and might, and glory. And under his glory he shall kindle, &c. He will destroy his numerous and victorious army, and that suddenly and irrecoverably, as the fire doth those combustible things which are cast into it; which was fulfilled 2 Kings 19:25. And... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-34

Assyria’s pride and punishment (10:5-34)God is angry with the rebellious people of Israel and has used Assyria to punish them (5-6). Assyria, however, has no concern for God’s purposes and thinks it has won its victories by its own might. It therefore decides to attack Jerusalem, confident that it will conquer Judah as it has conquered other nations (7-9). It thinks that because the gods of other nations have not been able to save them from Assyria’s might, the God of Judah will not be able to... read more
