イザヤ書 30:8-14 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:11

Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us . "The Holy One of Israel" was one of Isaiah's most frequent names for the Almighty. He used it especially when rebuking Israel's unholiness ( Isaiah 1:4 ; Isaiah 5:24 , etc.). The irreligious Jews were weary of this constant iteration, and wished to hear no more concerning this "Holy One," whose very holiness was a reproach to them. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:12

Because ye despise this word ; rather, because ye reject this word (see 1 Samuel 8:7 ; 1 Samuel 15:23 , 1 Samuel 15:26 ; 2 Kings 17:15 , etc.). The "word" intended is probably the prophecy against trusting in Egypt ( Isaiah 30:1-7 ). And trust in oppression ; or, extortion . Oppressive measures employed to obtain the rich gifts which had to be sent into Egypt ( Isaiah 30:6 ) are probably intended. Gratz and Cheyne change the reading from 'oshek to 'ikkesh ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:13

This iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall . Your sin in rebelling against God, rejecting the warnings of his prophets, and trusting in your own devices shall bring you into the condition of a wall in which there is a "breach," or rather, a "bulge," which therefore totters to its fall, and is liable to dissolve in ruins at any moment. Swelling out in a high wall. The higher the wail, the greater the danger, and the more complete the destruction. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:14

And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces . Isaiah is fond of mixed metaphors, and of superseding one metaphor by another. From comparing Judah's fall and ruin to the shattering of a lofty wall, he suddenly turns to a comparison of it with the breaking to pieces of an earthen pitcher. Judah shall be so broken as when the pitcher is crushed into minute fragments, so that there is no piece large enough to convey a coal from one fire for the lighting... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:8

Now go - This is a direction to the prophet to make a permanent record of the character of the Jewish people. The fact to be recorded was, that they were rebellious Isaiah 30:9; the design for which the record was to be made was to show to future times that this had been the uniform character of the nation. The record was to be preserved that it might be a proof of the care of God toward the nation even in the midst of their long-continued and obstinate perverseness.Write it before them -... read more

That this is a rebellious people - (see the note at Isaiah 1:2).Lying children - They had promised in solemn covenant to take Yahweh as their God, but they had been unfaithful to their vows. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:10

Which say to the seers - The prophets (see the note at Isaiah 1:1).See not - They desire not that they should communicate to them the will of Yahweh.Prophesy not unto us right things - It is not probable that they “openly” demanded of the prophets that they should declare falsehood and deceit, but their conduct was as if they had required that. The sense is, they bore with impatience the theatenings and commands of the true prophets; they were offended at their plainness and their reproofs of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:11

Get ye out of the way - Or, rather, ‘Recede from the way;’ or ‘Turn aside from the way.’ The words “way” and “path” are used to denote the true religion, or the true doctrines of God Matthew 7:14; Matthew 22:16; John 14:4; Acts 18:26; Acts 19:9, Acts 19:23; 2 Peter 2:15. The request here was that the true prophets would recede from the stern and true precepts of religion, and turn to the ways of falsehood and deceit.Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us - The sense of this is,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:12

Wherefore thus saith the Holy One - Yahweh. There may be some reference here to the fact adverted to in Isaiah 30:11, that they were weary of the name of the Holy One of Israel, and of the perpetual reiteration of his commands. Isaiah, as if to show them how little he was disposed to comply with their prejudices, again makes an appeal to that name, and urges the authority of Yahweh. It is often proper to “repeat” the very doctrine to which sinners object, and which has given them offence. That... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:13

Therefore this iniquity - That is, this refusing to trust in Yahweh, and this intention to seek the alliance of Egypt. The general sense of the figure here is, that their depending on Egypt would involve them ultimately in complete and awful ruin - ruin that should come upon them as suddenly as when a wall that had been long swelling out gives way.As a breach ready to fall - Like a breaking forth, or a bursting in a wall.Swelling out in a high wall - That is, where the foundation is not firm,... read more
