以赛亚书 29:17-24 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:19

The meek … the poor . The "evangelical prophet" anticipates the gospel in this, among other points—that he promises his choicest blessings, not to the rich and mighty, but to the poor and meek (comp. Isaiah 57:15 ; Isaiah 61:1 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:19

The joy of the meek. "The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord." It is quite usual to confuse the "meek" with the " humble ;" but, though the confusion may sometimes be excused, it is better to associate distinct meanings with each term. The " humble " man is the Juan who thinks in a lowly way about himself. The "meek" man is the man who is concerned for the interests of others rather than himself, The ideal "meek" man has supreme concern for the interests of God. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:20

The terrible one … the scorner . "The terrible one" may be the foreign enemy, as in Isaiah 29:5 , or, possibly, the native oppressor ( Isaiah 1:23 ; Isaiah 5:1-30 :93, etc.)—a still more tearful evil. "The scorner" is the godless man, who scoffs at religion ( Isaiah 28:14 , Isaiah 28:22 ). Both classes would be "consumed" and "brought to naught" when the new state of things was established. All that watch for iniquity ; i.e. "all those who, for the furtherance of their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:20-21

The humiliation of the suspicious. We should see in these verses a strictly personal reference. Some parties, especially among the leaders of the people, could see nothing good, nothing wise, in Isaiah's teachings and warnings. They thought them babyish, untimely, leading to a false security. They valued statesmanship, political wisdom, and the subtlety of setting one great nation against another, so that their kingdom might be let alone. The kinds of scorning and sneering in which they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:21

That make a man an offender for a word. The meaning of this clause is very doubtful. Kay translates, "That lead men into sin by words;" Mr. Cheyne, "That make out people to be sinners by their words," i . e . by bearing false witness against them; while Delitzsch upholds the rendering of the Authorized Version. Mr. Vance Smith has other suggestions. There seems to be, on the whole, no sufficient reason for setting aside the authorized rendering, which con-demus one form of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:22

The Lord, who redeemed Abraham ; rather, who delivered Abraham , as the verb used is often rendered (see Job 33:28 ; Psalms 51:18 ; Psalms 69:18 ; Psalms 78:42 , etc.). God's directions to Abraham to remove from a land of idolaters ( Joshua 24:2 , Joshua 24:3 ; Acts 7:2 , Acts 7:3 ) were practically a "deliverance." The work thus commenced could not be suffered to remain incomplete. Israel—the true Israel— would not be ashamed , or wax pale through fear any more; they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:23

The work of mine hands ; i.e. regenerated and "created anew unto good works" ( Ephesians 2:10 )—God's work, and no longer denying themselves to be such ( Isaiah 29:16 ). They shall sanctify my Name, and sanctify , etc.; rather, they shall sanctify my Name , they shall even sanctify the Holy One of Jacob , and fear the God of Israel . The last two clauses are exegetical of the first (Kay). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:23

The sanctifying power of sanctified people. "They"—God's redeemed and sanctified ones—"shall sanctify my Name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob." This thought, in its New Testament form, may be found in the words of the great High Priestly prayer, "And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth." Christ, the Model of the sanctified ones, honors God, and redeems and purifies man. Two things need consideration. I. GOD 'S SANCTIFIED ONES ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:24

They also that erred in spirit ; i.e. those who were blind and deaf ( Isaiah 29:18 ). Shall come to understanding ; literally, shall know understanding ; i.e. recover their power of spiritual discernment. They that murmured. The reference cannot be to the "murmuring" in Egypt, though the verb used occurs only elsewhere in Deuteronomy 1:27 and Psalms 106:25 , where that murmuring is spoken of. We must look for some later discontent, which we may find in quite recent "murmuring... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 29:17

Is it not yet a very little while - The idea here is, ‘you have greatly perverted things in Jerusalem. The time is at hand when there shall be “other” overturnings - when the wicked shall be cut off, and when there shall be poured out upon the nation such judgments that the deaf shall hear, and the blind see, and when those who have erred in spirit shall come to understanding’ Isaiah 29:18-24.And Lebanon shall be tutored into a fruitful field - This is evidently a proverbial expression,... read more
