Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 54:4

Fear not ... - (See Isaiah 41:10, note, Isaiah 41:14, note).Neither shalt thou be confounded - All these words mean substantially the same thing; and the design of the prophet is to affirm, in the strongest possible manner, that the church of God should be abundantly prospered and enlarged. The image of the female that was barren is kept up, and the idea is, that there should be no occasion of the shame which she felt who had no children.For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth - In the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 54:5

For thy Maker is thine husband - Both these words, ‘maker’ and ‘husband,’ in the Hebrew are in the plural number. But the form is evidently the pluralis excellentiae - a form denoting majesty and honor (see 1 Samuel 19:13, 1 Samuel 19:16; Psalms 149:2; Proverbs 9:10; Proverbs 30:3; Ecclesiastes 12:1; Hosea 12:1). Here it refers to ‘Yahweh of hosts,’ necessarily in the singular, as Yahweh is one Deuteronomy 6:4. No argument can be drawn from this phrase to prove that there is a distinction of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 54:6

For the Lord hath called thee - This is designed to confirm and illustrate the sentiment in the previous verse. God there says that he would be a husband to his people. Here he says, that although he had for a time apparently forsaken them, as a husband who had forsaken his wife, and although they were cast down and dejected like a woman who had thus been forsaken, yet he would now restore them to favor.Hath called thee - That is, will have called thee to himself - referring to the future times... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 54:7

For a small moment - The Chaldee and Syriac render this, ‘In a little anger.’ Lowth has adopted this, but without sufficient authority. The Hebrew means, ‘For a little moment;’ a very short time. The reference here is probably to the captivity at Babylon, when they were apparently forsaken by Yahweh. Though to them this appeared long, yet compared with their subsequent prosperity, it was but an instant of time. Though this had probably a primary reference to the captivity then, yet there can be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 54:8

In a little wrath - The Syriac renders this, ‘In great wrath.’ The Vulgate, ‘In a moment of indignation.’ The Septuagint, ‘In a little wrath.’ (Noyes renders it in accordance with the view of Rosenmuller, ‘In overflowing wrath.’ This variety of interpretation has arisen from the various meanings affixed to the unusual word שׁצף shetsep. This word occurs nowhere else in the Bible. Gesenius supposes that it is used for the sake of paronomasia with קצף qetsep, ‘wrath,’ instead of שׁטף sheṭep.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 54:4-5

Isaiah 54:4-5. Thou shalt not be ashamed As formerly, of the straitness of thy borders, and the fewness of thy children. Thou shalt forget the reproach of thy youth Thy barrenness in former times: so great shall be thy fertility and felicity, that it shall cause thee to forget thy former unfruitfulness and misery. And shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood That time and state when thou wast like a widow, disconsolate and desolate, deprived or forsaken of her husband, and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 54:6-8

Isaiah 54:6-8. For the Lord hath called thee To return and come again to him; as a woman forsaken When thou wast like a woman forsaken by her husband, who had given her a bill of divorce; and grieved in spirit For the loss of her husband’s favour and society, and for the reproach attending it; and a wife of youth As affectionately as a husband recalleth his wife whom he married in her and his own youth, whom, though he might on some provocation put away, yet he soon repents of doing... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 54:1-17

Yahweh and Israel reunited (54:1-17)Israel is likened to the wife of Yahweh. Her exile in Babylon was like a period of divorce when God separated her from him because of her sins. During this time she did not increase or prosper as a nation. She is now to return to God and to her homeland, where she will produce greater increase than in the days before the captivity. As an Arab has to enlarge his tent to accommodate more children, so Israel will have to enlarge its borders to accommodate this... read more
