Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 3:9

"The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have done evll unto themselves.""If God is not in the heart, the light of his presence will not be in the countenance."[10] It will be recalled that when the rich young ruler decided not to follow the Lord, "His countenance fell" (Mark 10:22). It does not require a skilled observer, "to detect at a glance the habitual criminal or sensualist."[11] The... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 3:10

"Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be with him; for what his hands have done shall be done unto him. As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths."We agree with many commentators who see in these verses the principle of future rewards and punishments. Good deeds tend to ripen into... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 3:10

Isaiah 3:10. For they shall eat the fruit of their doings— The certain consequence of righteousness is, by the divine determination, happiness either in this world or the next; as the contrary is the certain consequence of wickedness, Isaiah 3:11. This is an admirable sentence to support the souls of the pious, amidst all the troubles of this life; God will not forsake those who truly love and serve him. This reason teaches us, the experience of all times confirms, and it is the constant and... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 3:9

9. show—The Hebrew means, "that which may be known by their countenances" [GESENIUS and WEISS]. But MAURER translates, "Their respect for person"; so Syriac and Chaldee. But the parallel word "declare" favors the other view. KIMCHI, from the Arabic, translates "their hardness" ( :-, Margin), or impudence of countenance ( :-). They have lost not only the substance of virtue, but its color. witness—literally, "corresponds" to them; their look answers to their inner character (Hosea 5:5). declare—... read more

10. The faithlessness of many is no proof that all are faithless. Though nothing but croaking of frogs is heard on the surface of the pool, we are not to infer there are no fish beneath [BENGEL]. (See Isaiah 1:19; Isaiah 1:20). fruit of doings— (Isaiah 1:20- :) in a good sense (Galatians 6:8; Revelation 22:14). Not salvation by works, but by fruit-bearing faith (Isaiah 45:24; Jeremiah 23:6). GESENIUS and WEISS translate, Declare as to the righteous that, &c. MAURER, "Say that the righteous... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 3:1-15

The dearth of leadership 3:1-15The emphasis in this pericope is on the lack of qualified leaders and the consequent collapse of society that would result because God’s people put their trust in people rather than in Him. The name "the Lord [sovereign] God of Hosts [the Almighty]" forms an inclusio around this section (Isaiah 3:1; Isaiah 3:15)."To make great men the source of a nation’s greatness is always to end up with a dearth of great men. Unless the greatness comes from within the community... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 3:9

Instead of bowing before Yahweh’s glorious face, the Israelites were with brazen faces rebelling against Him, as the people of Sodom did. So it would go hard for them. "Woe" is an interjection of threat or distress. This Hebrew word, ’oy, and its companion, hoy, occur 22 times in Isaiah, more frequently than in any other prophetic book. The Israelites had brought the judgment of God on themselves by their pride. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 3:10-11

The faithful minority, however, would not simply get lost in the judgment of the unfaithful majority, but the Lord would remember them and send them good. Sin does bring its own wages (Romans 6:23). Here the long-term blessing of the righteous contrasts with the short-term blasting of the unrighteous. There were these two groups among God’s chosen people then as there are now. The faithful frequently suffer along with the unfaithful, but their ultimate ends are very different (cf. Revelation... read more

1. Stay and the staff] A prophecy of famine: cp. Isaiah 3:7, as the clause following explains. But if the latter clause is a gloss then ’stay and staff’ would refer to the classes upon which the stability of the life of the community depends. ’Staff’ in the Heb. is the fern, form of ’stay.’2. The prudent] RV ’the diviner,’ at this time in high estimation (Isaiah 2:6). The ancient] RM ’the elder,’ who held offices in villages and towns (Ruth 4:2, Ruth 4:4; 2 Kings 10:1). 3.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 3:9

(9) They declare their sin as Sodom.—The comparison is, it should be remembered, of probably an earlier date than that in Isaiah 1:10. In the reign of Ahaz (perhaps the prophet, editing in his old age, thought also of that of Manasseh) there was not even the homage which vice pays to virtue by feigning a virtue which it has not. Men fell into an utter shamelessness, like that of the cities of the plain (Genesis 19:5), generally in the luxury and profligacy of their lives (Ezekiel 16:49),... read more
