イザヤ書 43:14-28 JCB

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:20

The beast of the field shall honor me "The wild beast of the field shall glorify me" - The image is elegant and highly poetical. God will give such an abundant miraculous supply of water to his people traversing the dry desert in their return to their country, that even the wild beasts, the serpents, the ostriches, and other animals that haunt those arid regions, shall be sensible of the blessing, and shall break forth into thanksgiving and praises to him for the unusual refreshment which... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:22

But thou hast not called upon me - The connection is: But thou, Israel, whom I have chosen, whom I have formed for myself to be my witness against the false gods of the nations; even thou hast revolted from me, hast neglected my worship, and hast been perpetually running after strange gods. The emphasis of this and the following parts of the sentence, on which the sense depends, is laid on the words Me, on My Account, etc. The Jews were diligent in performing the external services of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:25

I, even I, am he - The original is extremely abrupt: הוא אנכי אנכי anochi anochi hu , "I, I, He." Is there any mystery in this form? Does it refer to a plurality of persons in the Godhead? For mine own sake - In the pardon of sin God can draw no reason but from his own infinite goodness. read more

Thy first father hath sinned - On this Kimchi speaks well: "How can ye say that ye have not sinned, seeing your first father, Adam, sinned; and man hath sin impressed on him through natural generation?" read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:28

I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary "Thy princes have profaned my sanctuary" - Instead of שרי ואחלל vaachallel sarey , read שריך ויחללו vayechalelu sareycha . So the Syriac and Septuagint, και εμιαναν οἱ αρχοντες τα ἁγια μου , "the rulers have defiled my holy things." קדשי kodshi , Houbigant. Οἱ αρχοντες σου , "thy rulers, "MSS. Pachom. and 1.

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:14

For your sake I have sent to Babylon . For Israel's sake God has already, in his counsels, sent to Babylon the instruments of his vengeance—Cyrus and his soldiers—and by their instrumentality has brought down all their nobles; or rather, has brought them all down ( to be fugitives (comp. Isaiah 15:5 ); and the Chaldeans ; or, even the Chaldeans. The Chaldeans are not in Isaiah, as in Daniel ( Daniel 2:2 ; Daniel 4:7 ; Daniel 5:7 ), a special class of Babylonians, but, as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:14

God the Redeemer. Proof of the existence of God is not the proper subject of a revelation made to man in a book. The being of God is assumed by making a revelation in a book. The proper subject of a book-revelation is not God creating. That we might learn from the things created. Not God providing. That we could sufficiently understand by due observation of life. Not God ruling. That would be impressed upon us with ever-increasing force by the history of the ages as they accumulated.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:14-21

A DECLARATION AGAINST BABYLON , AND A PROMISE OF ISRAEL 'S RESTORATION . Having wound up the preceding "controversy" with a reference to his own power to work great results ( Isaiah 43:13 ), Jehovah now brings forward two examples—the discomfiture of Babylon ( Isaiah 43:14 , Isaiah 43:15 ), and the recovery and restoration of Israel ( Isaiah 43:16-21 ), both of which he is about to accomplish. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:16

The Lord, which maketh a way in the sea . The deliverance out of Egypt is glanced at, to prepare the way for the announcement of deliverance from the hand of Babylon. Then "a way was made in the sea" ( Exodus 14:21-29 ), "and a path in the mighty waters;" now it will be necessary to make "a way in the wilderness" ( Isaiah 43:19 ). read more
