イザヤ書 42:15 JC

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 42:5-25

Majestic Claims Isa 42:5-25 That is a grand preamble. Words of this character excite thrilling expectation. Go to Oriential lands for magnificence of description, for redundance of self-eulogium; read the Babylonian records to find how ancient kings adorned themselves with imposing titles. Something must always be allowed for Orientalism; it is not irreverent to say that something must be allowed for Orientalism in certain parts of the Bible itself. Here is a title which, standing by itself,... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 42:14-16

God's Terribleness and Gentleness Isa 42:14-16 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. It is better to fall into the hands of God than into the hands of men. Our God is a consuming fire God is love. The combination of great power and great restraint, and, indeed, the combination of opposite qualities and uses generally, is well known in the ordinary arrangements of civilised life and the daily operation of the laws of nature. The measure of greatness is the measure of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 42:15-16

Nothing can be more blessed than these promises, when we behold them as our own, from a conscious oneness with Christ, and when we live upon them, from living upon him. Then we see that he who thus undertakes to be everything to his people, doth and will fulfil; and though we cool and tire in our love, the Lord never falters in his; Zephaniah 3:14-17 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 42:13-17

13-17 The Lord will appear in his power and glory. He shall cry, in the preaching of his word. He shall cry aloud in the gospel woes, which must be preached with gospel blessings, to awaken a sleeping world. He shall conquer by the power of his Spirit. And those that contradict and blaspheme his gospel, he shall put to silence and shame; and that which hinders its progress shall be taken out of the way. To those who by nature were blind, God will show the way to life and happiness by Jesus... read more

The Joy Over the Judgment of Condemnation upon the Ungodly v. 10. Sing unto the Lord a new song, Psalms 33:3; Psalms 40:3, a hymn of praise in honor of the new things promised, a psalm lauding His mercy in the Savior, and His praise from the end of the earth, so that the whole earth resounds with it, ye that go down to the sea, the seafaring inhabitants of the isles and coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, and all that is therein, all the marine animals being called upon to join in this praise... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 42:14-25

a Deaf and Blind Messenger Isaiah 42:14-25 There are times in our lives when God seems to hold His peace. Evil is rife, bad men prosper, society lies under the spell of vice. It is only temporary , however. Then God comes forth out of the silence, and shows Himself “strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him.” He brings the blind “by a way that they knew not,” and makes “the crooked places straight.” These wonderful things are wrought not for the wise and holy alone, but... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 42:1-25

The manifesto now presents the great Servant of Jehovah. His person is first described. His manifestation is announced (verse Isaiah 42:1) , His mission is declared (verse Isaiah 42:1) , His method is described (verses Isa 42:2-3 ), and His might is affirmed (verse Isa 42:4 ). Then His relation to Jehovah is indicated in the words of Jehovah. He is called, held, kept, and given, and all that for purposes of deliverance. The ultimate purpose is the glory of Jehovah. The prophet immediately... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 42:10-17

A Further Song of Deliverance And Judgment (Isaiah 42:10-17 ). Following on the revelation of the Servant comes the joy of the nations in seeing God at work though Him. In this brief section movement is rapid. The righteous will sing for joy at their deliverance, but God will shout His battlecries against the ungodly. He will introduce judgment with the earnestness of a woman in labour, and will bring drought upon the world. He will make easy the way of His chosen ones, but those who trust in... read more
