Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:1

This remarkable chapter contains the beginning of what is called "The Third Servant Song," although the word "servant" does not appear in it. Isaiah 42:1-4; Isaiah 49:1-6; and Isaiah 52:13-53:12, are reckoned as the three, along with what is written here. "The first two songs emphasized the Servant's mission; the third one, however, treats of his obedience, and of his steadfast endurance under persecution. Because of the song's description of the growing hostility toward the Servant, North... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 50:1-3

Isaiah 50:1-3. Thus saith the Lord— In the preceding period of the last chapter, a doubt respecting the great enemy of the church was removed: but another doubt exercised the afflicted church about the same time in which we have placed the scene of this prophesy: for as at that time the Jewish nation was engaged in a war with the Romans, which seemed to threaten the entire destruction of their state, the true church, among the Jews, plainly perceived from hence, that God had entirely cast off... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 50:1

1. Where . . . mothers divorcement—Zion is "the mother"; the Jews are the children; and God the Husband and Father (Isaiah 54:5; Isaiah 62:5; Jeremiah 3:14). GESENIUS thinks that God means by the question to deny that He had given "a bill of divorcement" to her, as was often done on slight pretexts by a husband (Deuteronomy 24:1), or that He had "sold" His and her "children," as a poor parent sometimes did (Exodus 21:7; 2 Kings 4:1; Nehemiah 5:5) under pressure of his "creditors"; that it was... read more

2. I—Messiah. no man—willing to believe in and obey Me (Isaiah 52:1; Isaiah 52:3). The same Divine Person had "come" by His prophets in the Old Testament (appealing to them, but in vain, Jeremiah 7:25; Jeremiah 7:26), who was about to come under the New Testament. hand shortened—the Oriental emblem of weakness, as the long stretched-out hand is of power (Isaiah 59:1).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 50:1

The Lord continued to speak through His prophet. He addressed again Zion’s charge that God had forsaken and forgotten His people (Isaiah 49:14). He had not issued Israel a certificate of divorce (cf. Deuteronomy 24:1-4); He had not stopped desiring to have her for Himself (cf. Isaiah 49:14-18; Judges 2:14; Judges 3:8; Judges 4:2; Judges 10:7). [Note: See Joe M. Sprinkle, "Old Testament Perspectives on Divorce and Remarriage," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 40:4 (December... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 50:1-3

God’s will and power to deliver 50:1-3The Lord turned from addressing His "wife" to her children. Both figures describe Israel, collectively and particularly. This pericope is transitional, but it is more of a conclusion to what has preceded than an introduction to what follows. God has both the desire and the ability to save the Israelites from their sin. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 50:2

The Lord asked two more questions of His people that amount to one. Note the prominence of questions as a teaching device in this chapter (Isaiah 50:1-2; Isaiah 50:8-11). Why had they not responded to His calls for repentance and faith (which came through the prophets)? Had they done so, He implied, He would not have sold them into captivity. Was His lack of deliverance when they called to Him for help the result of His inability to save them? No, He could reach them, and He was strong enough... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 50:2-3

The proof of God’s strength is His control over nature. The nature miracles of Jesus proved His deity (cf. Matthew 8:27; Matthew 14:33). In spite of the vast amount of water in the sea, God can dry up the sea. Even though the sky above is apparently limitless, He can make it dark. The images here recall the Creation and the Exodus (cf. Exodus 15:16; Deuteronomy 26:8, Psalms 77:15), but the point is that God has the power to change anything as He chooses. read more
