Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-33

CHAPTER XIIIPOLITICS AND FAITHABOUT 720 B.C.Isaiah 30:1-33THIS prophecy of Isaiah rises out of circumstances a little more developed than those in which chapter 29 was composed. Sennacherib is still engaged with Babylon, and it seems that it will yet be long before he marches his armies upon Syria. But Isaiah’s warning has at last roused the politicians of Judah from their carelessness. We need not suppose that they believed all that Isaiah predicted about the dire siege which Jerusalem should... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 30:18

30:18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be {q} gracious to you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a God of(r) judgment: blessed [are] all they that wait for him.(q) He commends the great mercies of God, who with patience waits to call sinners to repentance.(r) Not only in punishing but in using moderation in the same, as in Jeremiah 10:24; Jeremiah 30:11 . read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-33

JUDAH AND EGYPT These chapters make a unit since, with the exception of the opening part of chapter 28, they chiefly deal with Judah’s futile alliance with Egypt. Isaiah 28:0 Israel, or the kingdom of the ten tribes, is addressed under the name of her leading tribe “Ephraim” (Isaiah 28:1 ). Her great sin is strong drink. “The head of the fat valley” is Samaria the capital, which is soon to be overthrown by the Assyrians (Isaiah 28:2-4 ). Observe, however, the usual forecast of the end of the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 30:1-33

Isaiah 30:0 1. Woe to the rebellious children [not to be read in a harsh tone, but rather as if it were, "alas, for the rebellious children:" into such vocatives does God put the expression of his pity], saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me [they go to the wrong spring for water, and find it poison]; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit [with tow that can be burned up], that they may add sin to sin [in quick and pestilent evolution]: 2. That walk to go down into... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 30:18-21

Reader! observe the workings of grace, and how the Lord's love breaks out, before the weapons of sin in the rebellious child's hands fall down. And do observe, in this sweet scripture, not only the waitings in the Lord to be gracious, but to be very gracious; not only his bowels yearning to pardon, but to take into favor. And though, in outward providences, the Lord seemed to frown, in the hard and coarse fare of bread in adversity, and water in affliction, yet love was in all, and at the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:8-18

8-18 The Jews were the only professing people God then had in the world, yet many among them were rebellious. They had the light, but they loved darkness rather. The prophets checked them in their sinful pursuits, so that they could not proceed without fear; this they took amiss. But faithful ministers will not be driven from seeking to awaken sinners. God is the Holy One of Israel, and so they shall find him. They did not like to hear of his holy commandments and his hatred of sin; they... read more

Trust in Jehovah Rewarded; Overthrow of the Lord's Enemies v. 15. For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest, by turning back to the Lord in true repentance and trusting in Him all alone, shall ye be saved, finding deliverance from all the dangers which beset them; in quietness and in confidence, leaving it to the Lord alone to guide and direct them in all their affairs, shall be your strength, that being the secret of the power possessed by all believers; ... read more
