イザヤ書 29:1-3 JCB

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 29:3-4

Isaiah 29:3-4. And I will camp against thee, &c. That is, by those enemies whom I will assist and enable to take and destroy thee. The prophet may here refer to different sieges of Jerusalem, that of Sennacherib, that of the Chaldeans, or even to that of the Romans. Thou shalt be brought down thy speech shall be low Thou, who now speakest so loftily, shalt be humbled, and in a submissive manner, and with a low voice, shalt beg the favour of thine enemies. As of one that hath a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 29:1-124

God saves Jerusalem (29:1-24)Isaiah then presents a frightening picture of the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem (called ‘Ariel’ in RSV and NIV, and ‘God’s altar’ in GNB). The people think that their city is safe and that the cycle of annual festivals will go on indefinitely. Suddenly, they find their lives threatened by a terrible siege. Throughout the city people are distressed and humiliated, as the doomed city cries out to God, as it were, from the grave (29:1-4).The enemy armies think their... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Isaiah 29:1

Woe. The second of the six woes. Ariel = either a lion of GOD (El, App-4 . IV) (2 Samuel 23:20 ); or the altar-hearth of GOD (Ezekiel 43:15 , Ezekiel 43:16 ; and the Moabite Stone, line 12, App-54 ).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 29:1

There are five paragraphs in this chapter: (1) Jerusalem is warned of the siege by Sennacherib (Isaiah 29:1-4). (2) A divine promise of relief (Isaiah 29:5-8).

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 29:1-2

Isaiah 29:1-2. Woe to Ariel, &c.— It is evident from Isa 29:8 and all interpreters have agreed, that this prophesy is directed against Jerusalem; and it has been commonly thought that אריאל Ariel, which signifies the lion of God, and was the name of the altar of burnt-offerings, is here put for the city of Jerusalem, where this celebrated altar was erected;—which has appeared the more probable from the apparent allusion in the latter part of this verse to the rites performed at that altar.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 29:3-4

Isaiah 29:3-4. And I will camp, &c.— This second article explains the former. The prophet had said that Jerusalem should be straitened and distressed; which he here expresses plainly, Isa 29:3 declaring that the consequence of this siege should be, a reduction of the proud and self-confident inhabitants to that state of humility, that, like the Pythonesses, or those who had familiar spirits, they should, with a low and whispering voice, (a certain demonstration of the anxiety of their... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 29:1

1. Ariel—Jerusalem; Ariel means "Lion of God," that is, city rendered by God invincible: the lion is emblem of a mighty hero ( :-). Otherwise "Hearth of God," that is, place where the altar-fire continually burns to God (Isaiah 31:9; Ezekiel 43:15; Ezekiel 43:16). add . . . year to year—ironically; suffer one year after another to glide on in the round of formal, heartless "sacrifices."

2. Yet—rather, "Then." heaviness . . . sorrow—rather, preserving the Hebrew paronomasia, "groaning" and "moaning." as Ariel—either, "the city shall be as a lion of God," that is, it shall emerge from its dangers unvanquished; or "it shall be as the altar of burnt offering," consuming with fire the besiegers (Isaiah 29:6; Isaiah 30:30; Isaiah 31:9; Leviticus 10:2); or best, as Isaiah 29:3 continues the threat, and the promise of deliverance does not come till Isaiah 29:4, "it shall be like a... read more
