イザヤ書 28:10-12 JCB

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:9-10

Isaiah 28:9-10. Whom shall he Namely, God, or his prophet, or minister; teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Who is there among this people, that are capable and willing to be taught the good knowledge of God? them that are wearied from the milk, &c. A minister may as soon teach a young child as these men. For precept must be upon precept, &c. They must be taught like little children, slowly, and with leisure, the same things being often repeated,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:11-12

Isaiah 28:11-12. For Or, rather, therefore, as the particle כי is often used. For the prophet here evidently intends to express the punishment of their dulness. With stammering lips, and another tongue By people of a strange language, whom he will bring among them, and into whose power he will deliver them; will he speak to this people Seeing they will not hear him speaking by his prophets and ministers, in their own language, they shall hear their enemies speaking to them in a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-29

28:1-33:24 HEZEKIAH AND THE ASSYRIANSBefore reading Chapters 28-33, readers should be familiar with the historical background found in the introduction under the heading ‘Judah’s new policies under Hezekiah’. Hezekiah reversed the policies of his father Ahaz. Whereas Ahaz sought help from Assyria to oppose Israel and Syria, Hezekiah sought help from Egypt to oppose Assyria. Isaiah opposed both policies alike. Faith in God, not reliance on foreign powers, is Judah’s only hope for survival. The... read more

For = Yea, verily. Taking the words out of their own taunting lips, and turning them against themselves. Quoted in 1 Corinthians 14:21 . stammering = jabbering. another = foreign. Referring to the Assyrian language they were (alas!) soon to hear (Compare Isaiah 33:19 . Deuteronomy 28:49 ). He speak: i.e. by the Assyrians. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 28:11

"Nay, but by men of strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people; to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. Therefore shall the word of Jehovah be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken."Well, here is tongue-speaking in the Old Testament; and as... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 28:9-10

Isaiah 28:9-10. Whom shall he teach knowledge?— This period, though different in words, is the same in sense with that preceding. The meaning is, that the teachers, priests, and elders of the people, whose duty it was to maintain the purity and integrity of the public doctrine and counsels, had deviated so far from the path of right, that they were entirely ignorant with respect to the true doctrine of salvation, which was to be found in the ancient patriarchal and Mosaic system; they could... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 28:11-13

Isaiah 28:11-13. For with stammering lips, &c.— Instead of refreshing, in Isa 28:12 we may read, happy place; and the 13th may be rendered, But the word of the Lord shall be unto them,—that they may go, &c. These verses contain the spiritual punishment consequent upon the fault before specified. When the teachers of the church, says Vitringa, little regard the wholesome doctrine of the word of God, but follow their own simple and trifling ideas, God interposes with his judgment, and... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:11

11. For—rather, "Truly." This is Isaiah's reply to the scoffers: Your drunken questions shall be answered by the severe lessons from God conveyed through the Assyrians and Babylonians; the dialect of these, though Semitic, like the Hebrew, was so far different as to sound to the Jews like the speech of stammerers (compare Isaiah 33:19; Isaiah 36:11). To them who will not understand God will speak still more unintelligibly. read more
