John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:5-34

5. And the staff in their hand] RV ’the staff in whose hand’: Jehovah speaks, declaring the Assyrian the minister of His wrath.6. Hypocritical] RV ’profane.’ Nation.. people] not merely referring to Judah, but to be understood generally: the Assyrian has been commissioned in the divine providence to punish godless nations. Similarly in later history Christians recognised Attila as ’the scourge of God.’7-11. The spirit of the Assyrian is represented; he has no idea of his mission, but is fired... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 10:10

(10) As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols.—The word “idols” seems hardly appropriate as a word of scorn in the mouth of an idolatrous king; but Isaiah probably puts into his lips the words which he himself would have used. It is, however, quite in character with the Assyrian inscriptions that Sargon should ascribe his victories to Asshur as the Supreme God, before whose sovereignty all local deities were compelled to bow. To the Assyrian king the name of Jehovah would represent a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 10:11

(11) Shall I not, as I have done . . .—The verse gives the occasion of Isaiah’s utterance. Sargon was threatening Jerusalem, probably in the early years of Hezekiah’s reign. The inscriptions show, as Isaiah 20:1 also does, that he made war against Philistia and besieged Ashdod (Records of the Past, vii. 40). read more

The Boasting Axe Isaiah 10:15 What would be the result if we had amongst us through and through a most hearty and loyal and loving reception of the great doctrine of Divine sovereignty, the great doctrine that all things are settled and decreed and arranged. I. If we could really believe these elementary truths we should have a great unit in society. Man did not make society, and man cannot destroy it; man did not make mystery, and man cannot solve it, unless by God's enlightenment and special... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-34

CHAPTER IXATHEISM OF FORCE AND ATHEISM OF FEARABOUT 721 B.C.Isaiah 10:5-34IN chapter 28 Isaiah, speaking in the year 725 when Salmanassar IV was marching on Samaria, had explained to the politicians of Jerusalem how entirely the Assyrian host was in the hand of Jehovah for the punishment of Samaria and the punishment and purification of Judah. The invasion which in that year loomed so awful was not unbridled force of destruction, implying the utter annihilation of God’s people, as Damascus,... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:1-34

JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA The verses intervening since the last lesson apply to Israel, and are comparatively unimportant; but at Isaiah 10:5 a discourse begins concerning Assyria, running continuously to the close of chapter twelve. Assyria, an ally of Judah, is to become her enemy, but the chastisement she is to inflict on Judah is in the divine purpose, up to a certain point (Isaiah 10:5-6 ). Assyria’s motive is not the divine glory, however, but her own aggrandizement, which leads her to go... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 10:5-34

The Burden of Assyria Isa 10:5 to Isa 12:6 Anew section begins at Isaiah 10:5 , and goes to Isaiah 12:6 . The section deals with Assyria, and might be called in some sense "The Burden of Assyria." It is most difficult to understand. All annotators have been more or less perplexed by it. The translators have put in words with which to help themselves over literal difficulties. Sometimes Assyria seems to be speaking as the prophet himself, and sometimes the prophet seems to be speaking as if... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-15

I pray the Reader to remark with me, how the Lord taketh to himself the whole of the destruction of Judah. If the Assyrian destroy the kingdom, it is because the Lord hath commissioned and appointed it. It is the Lord that sends Assyria against an hypocritical people, even his own people; and what the Assyrian doth, is because the Lord hath ordained it. Let the Reader turn to (Isaiah 36:0 ) the 36th chapter of this prophecy, and behold the fulfillment of what is here foretold. And while he... read more
