James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 57:1-21

THE MESSIAH REVEALED The thirty-two chapters deal particularly with the Person and work of the Messiah. Isaiah has sometimes been called the evangelical prophet because of the large space he gives to that subject a circumstance the more notable because of the silence concerning it since Moses. The explanation of this silence is hinted at in the lesson on the introduction to the prophets. In chapter 49, the Messiah speaks of Himself and the failure of His mission in His rejection by His... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 57:10-14

This, it should seem, is a representation of such awful characters as were before described, disappointed in the pursuit of their pleasures, pausing over their dreadful state, and yet, though confessing all to be vanity and vexation of spirit, still going on from bad to worse, until life is over, and they lie down in sorrow. So the Lord elsewhere describes them; and so the world daily finds them; Isaiah 50:11 . Elihu hath drawn the most finished picture of such men, Job 35:9-10 : he represents... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 57:13-21

13-21 The idols and their worshippers shall come to nothing; but those who trust in God's grace, shall be brought to the joys of heaven. With the Lord there is neither beginning of days, nor end of life, nor change of time. His name is holy, and all must know him as a holy God. He will have tender regard to those who bring their mind to their condition, and dread his wrath. He will make his abode with those whose hearts he has thus humbled, in order to revive and comfort them. When troubles... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 57:14-21

Jehovah Grants Salvation and Peace to the Repentant. What the Lord had indicated at the end of the fast paragraph He now elaborates upon. v. 14. And shall say, that is, a voice is heard to say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, in leveling, the path; prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of My people, so they have free access to the deliverance of Jehovah. v. 15. For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, He who occupies the throne of His majesty forever, ... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 57:1-21

No Peace to the Wicked Isaiah 57:1-21 A terrible portrayal is given here of the idolatries and impurities into which the Chosen People had fallen. These scenes under “the oaks” (r.v.) and in the valleys remind us of the invariable evils associated with idolatry which the great Apostle has recorded in Romans 1:23-28 . They refused to retain God in their knowledge, and He gave them over to a reprobate mind; that is, He ceased to restrain them. But amid the degenerate nation, there was a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 57:1-21

Because of the failure of these blind watchmen and drunken leaders, righteous men perish, while none lay it to heart. Moreover, the people have yielded to the evil influences of such leaders; "sons of the sorceress" are summoned to judgment. Their sin has been exalted and manifest, and their judgment is to be conspicuous and complete. Yet again the declaration turns to such as are contrite and penitent. Jehovah declares Himself to be the One inhabiting eternity, and yet dwelling with the... read more
