以赛亚书 16:12 RCUVSS

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 16:1-14

JUDGMENT ON GENTILE NATIONS This is a long lesson to read, but the study put upon it need not be proportioned to its length. There is a sameness in the chapters, and their contents are not unlike what we reviewed in the preceding lesson. Note the names of the nations and their contiguity to God’s chosen people. They have come in contact with their history again and again, which is why they are singled out for special mention. It will be well here to review what was said about these Gentile... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 16:1-14

The Core of Prophecy Isaiah 15-16 The fifteenth and sixteenth chapters give "the burden of Moab;" then follow the burdens, or oracles, of Damascus, Ethiopia, and Egypt. We have thus to deal with a vision which looks out upon all directions with a judgment which permits nothing to escape its scrutiny and verdict. The principle of prophecy is the same throughout; for want of applying this doctrine many men have become lost in prophetic detail and colour which really have next to nothing to do... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 16:12

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "He shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail." Isa 16:12 Such was the judgment pronounced upon Moab. When Moab appeared as a worshipper, when he weaned himself on the high place, all his litanies and his outcry and prayers went for nothing. We know what the crying priests of Baal came to when Elijah challenged them on Mount Carmel. They called from the morning until the evening, but their deaf god heard them not. There is a prayer,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 16:6-12

If the Reader looks closely to what is here said concerning Moab, he will find it a suited representation of all the pride and ostentation of all the flourishing nations of the earth. The pride of Moab consisted in her wines and luxuries; her strong holds, and noble cities. And what is it now, even in the present hour, among all carnal men and nations? What is said of Calnah, and Hamath, and Gath, may be said of kingdoms and of individuals; they lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 16:6-14

6-14 Those who will not be counselled, cannot be helped. More souls are ruined by pride than by any other sin whatever. Also, the very proud are commonly very passionate. With lies many seek to gain the gratification of pride and passion, but they shall not compass proud and angry projects. Moab was famous for fields and vineyards; but they shall be laid waste by the invading army. God can soon turn laughter into mourning, and joy into heaviness. In God let us always rejoice with holy triumph;... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 16:6-14

Moab's Pride and Ruin. The Lord's invitation was issued to Moab also, for He wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. The appeal, however, was unavailing, and therefore the prophecy of punishment is once more resumed. v. 6. We have heard of the pride of Moab, its conceit and foolish dependence upon its own strength, Jeremiah 48:14-Joel :; he is very proud; even of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath, his senseless anger against Israel; but his lies shall... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 16:1-14

Continuing the prophecy concerning Moab, the prophet proceeds to describe how in her distress she will appeal to Judah for sanctuary ( Isa 16:1-5 ). This will be refused, and so great will be the distress of Moab that even the prophet breaks out into lamentation at sight of it. He declares that this visitation of Moab is in fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, and at last the time limit is actually set (verses Isa 16:6-14 ). read more
