以賽亞書 63:7-10 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:10-14

The remembrance of the past. I. THE MEMORY OF GOD . If God is thought of, as he must be thought of, after the analogy of human experiences, he must be thought of as remembering, calling the past to mind, and as undergoing changes of mind in consequence. These are ways of representing first to thought, then in language, an infinite love, which must be capable of all the scale and gamut of feeling—anger, wrath, jealousy, and the revulsion almost to the tenderness of tears. So in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:10-14

How God feels and why he acts. The revolt or disobedience of Israel is said to have "vexed [grieved] his Holy Spirit." We learn from this and from a similar expression in Ephesians 4:30 — I. THE GRIEF TO WHICH GOD IS SUBJECT . Men have argued thus. God is a blessed or happy Being; he is infinite in all his attributes; therefore he is infinitely, perfectly happy; therefore there is no possibility of sorrow in his Divine nature. But such reasoning is very precarious and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:7

I will mention - This is evidently the language of the people celebrating the praises of God in view of all his mercies in former days. See the analysis to the chapter. The design of what follows, to the close of Isaiah 64:1-12, is to implore the mercy of God in view of their depressed and ruined condition. They are represented as suffering under the infliction of long and continued ills; as cast out and driven to a distant land; as deprived of their former privileges, and as having been long... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:8

For he said - Yahweh had said. That is, he said this when he chose them as his unique people, and entered into solemn covenant with them.Surely they are my people - The reference here is to the fact that he entered into covenant with them to be their God.Children that will not lie - That will not prove false to me - indicating the reasonable expectation which Yahweh might have, when he chose them, that they would be faithful to him.So he was their Saviour - Lowth renders this, ‘And he became... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:9

In all their affliction he was afflicted - This is a most beautiful sentiment, meaning that God sympathized with them in all their trials, and that he was ever ready to aid them. This sentiment accords well with the connection; but there has been some doubt whether this is the meaning of the Hebrew. Lowth renders it, as has been already remarked, ‘It was not an envoy, nor an angel of his presence that saved him.’ Noyes, ‘In all their straits they had no distress.’ TheSeptuagint renders it, ‘It... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:10

But they rebelled - Against God. This charge is often made against the Jews; and indeed their history is little more than a record of a series of rebellions against God.And vexed - Or rather ‘grieved.’ The Hebrew word עצב ‛âtsab, in Piel, means to pain, to afflict, to grieve. This is the idea here. Their conduct was such as was suited to produce the deepest pain - for there is nothing which we more deeply feel than the ingratitude of those who have been benefited by us. Our translators have... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 63:7

Isaiah 63:7. “The remaining part of this chapter” says Bishop Lowth, “with the whole chapter following, contains a penitential confession and supplication of the Israelites in their present state of dispersion, in which they have so long marvellously subsisted, and still continue to subsist, as a people; cast out of their country, without any proper form of civil polity or religious worship; their temple destroyed, their city desolated, and lost to them; and their whole nation scattered over... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 63:8-9

Isaiah 63:8-9. For he said Namely, within himself, of old, when he made a covenant with our fathers, and brought them out of Egypt; Surely they are my people In covenant with me: though they are unworthy of me, yet I cannot but look upon them as my people. Children that will not lie That will keep my covenant; that will not deal falsely with me, to whom they are under such unspeakable obligations. This is spoken by God, after the manner of men, who are always apt to hope the best... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 63:10

Isaiah 63:10. But they rebelled Revolted from him and, as it were, took up arms against him, many instances of which we find in their history; and vexed, or grieved, his Holy Spirit With their unbelief and murmuring, and continual proneness to idolatry, as well as by their repeated acts of obstinacy and disobedience. Therefore he was turned to be their enemy Withdrew the tokens and evidences of his love and favour; and fought against them By one judgment after another, both in the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:7-19

A prayer for Israel (63:7-64:12)The prophet’s prayer for God’s suffering people begins by recalling God’s great acts of love in the past (7). Because Israel was his people, God saved them from slavery in Egypt, though when they rebelled against him, they were punished (8-10). Nevertheless, God forgave them. Therefore, asks the prophet, could not this God of mercy and love, who has done such great things for Israel in the past, also save his people from captivity in Babylon now (11-14)?It seems... read more
