John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 24:1-23

2. All class distinctions are obliterated and confused. 5. Defiled] i.e. desecrated by bloodshed (Numbers 35:33). Everlasting covenant] The phrase seems to allude to Genesis 9:16, the covenant with Noah and his sons. The bloodshed, upon which the great world-empires were founded, was a violation of this primitive covenant.7-9. The meaning is that every form of enjoyment has ceased. 10. Confusion] or, ’chaos’ (Genesis 1:2), so called because of the desolation awaiting it. No man, etc.] the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 24:16

(16) From the uttermost part of the earth . . .—The words “glory to the righteous” sound at first like a doxology addressed to Jehovah as essentially the Righteous One. Two facts militate, however, against this view. The word translated “glory” is not that commonly used in doxologies, but rather “honour” or “praise,” such as is applied to men (Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 23:9; Isaiah 28:1; Isaiah 28:4-5; 2 Samuel 1:19). (2) The term “the Righteous One “is never used absolutely as a name of ‘God. On... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 24:1-23

The Consecration of Suffering Isaiah 24:15 Religion consists in taking things out of their common places, and in removing them from a lower to a higher level. To hold everything in God, to use it for God, to dedicate it to God this is consecration. I. The Great Danger of Suffering whether it be physical or mental suffering is threefold: a. Pride, because we become exceptional, and are made much of. b. Indolence, because the nerves become unstrung. c. Selfishness, because at such times... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

CHAPTER XXVIIITHE EFFECT OF SIN ON OUR MATERIAL CIRCUMSTANCEDATE UNCERTAINIsaiah 24:1-23THE twenty-fourth of Isaiah is one of those chapters which almost convince the most persevering reader of Scripture that a consecutive reading of the Authorised Version is an impossibility. For what does he get from it but a weary and unintelligent impression of destruction, from which he gladly escapes to the nearest clear utterance of gospel or judgment? Criticism affords little help. It cannot clearly... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 24:1-23

CHAPTER 24 The Day of Jehovah 1. Jehovah dealing with the earth(Isaiah 24:1 ) 2. All classes affected (Isaiah 24:2 ) 3. The Desolations described (Isaiah 24:3-12 ) 4. The Jewish Remnant during the trouble (Isaiah 24:13-20 ) 5. The punishment of the high ones and kings (Isaiah 24:21-22 ) 6. Jehovah’s reign in Mount Zion and Jerusalem (Isaiah 24:23 ) A marvellous chapter. Not a word of it has ever been fulfilled. The great day of Jehovah is that day of which Isaiah speaks in chapter... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 24:16

24:16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, [even] glory to the {k} righteous. But I said, {l} My leanness, my leanness, woe to me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.(k) Meaning to God, who will publish his gospel through all the world.(l) I am consumed with care, considering the affliction of the Church, both by foreign enemies and domestic. Some read, My secret, my secret: that is, it was revealed... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

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 24:1-23

Self Overthrown Isaiah 24:0 Achapter like this will bear many readings. A quaint commentator has said, "This is gallant rhetoric, compared with which the thunders of Demosthenes are poor stuff." The man who wrote that knew every word that Demosthenes had ever said in his greatest orations. How true it is that there is no eloquence like the eloquence of the Bible! The difficulty is that people will not read it. The twenty-fourth chapter and the twenty-seventh, and all between, should be read at... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 24:16-21

God's people feel their leanness, in times of general calamity. And no doubt, sorrow for sinners, as well as the distress they feel in themselves, have a great tendency to waste, and lower the spirits. When the Lord's judgments are in the earth, the righteous cannot but tremble. Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake; Hebrews 12:21 . read more
