以赛亚书 30:5 CUNPSS

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-33

JUDAH AND EGYPT These chapters make a unit since, with the exception of the opening part of chapter 28, they chiefly deal with Judah’s futile alliance with Egypt. Isaiah 28:0 Israel, or the kingdom of the ten tribes, is addressed under the name of her leading tribe “Ephraim” (Isaiah 28:1 ). Her great sin is strong drink. “The head of the fat valley” is Samaria the capital, which is soon to be overthrown by the Assyrians (Isaiah 28:2-4 ). Observe, however, the usual forecast of the end of the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 30:1-33

Isaiah 30:0 1. Woe to the rebellious children [not to be read in a harsh tone, but rather as if it were, "alas, for the rebellious children:" into such vocatives does God put the expression of his pity], saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me [they go to the wrong spring for water, and find it poison]; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit [with tow that can be burned up], that they may add sin to sin [in quick and pestilent evolution]: 2. That walk to go down into... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-5

Reader! remark amidst all the rebellions of Israel, how the Lord still calls them children. And though chastisement must and will follow their disobedience, yet, the very chastisement proves the Lord's design to recover them. And the method the Lord takes to accomplish his purpose, manifests his gracious intention. For, do they seek strength from foreign alliances? then shall those alliances be the rod to their own punishment. Do they seek to Pharaoh instead of the Lord? and trust in the reeds... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:1-7

1-7 It was often the fault and folly of the Jews, that when troubled by their neighbours on one side, they sought for succour from others, instead of looking up to God. Nor can we avoid the dreadful consequences of adding sin to sin, but by making the righteousness of Christ our refuge, and seeking for the sanctification of the Holy Spirit. Men have always been prone to lean to their own understandings, but this will end in their shame and misery. They would not trust in God. They took much... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 30:1-14

The Alliance with Egypt and the Rebellious People v. 1. Woe to the rebellious children, stubborn, obstinate, refractory people, saith the Lord, that take counsel, making plans of their own, but not of Me, without consulting Him, and that cover with a covering, weave an alliance, form a league, but not of My Spirit, not suggested or commanded by the Holy Spirit speaking through the Lord's messengers, that they may add sin to sin! The alliance of Judah with Egypt was not only undertaken... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-17

Fatal Reliance on Human Aid Isaiah 30:1-17 Toward the close of the 8th century, b.c. Jerusalem sent ambassadors to seek help from Egypt against Assyria, in distinct defiance of God’s repeated warnings. Isaiah denounced this as adding sin to sin. Even though their princes reached Zoan and Hanes, capital cities, and succeeded in their object, it would not help them. The beasts of burden might traverse the deserts with presents and bribes, but all would be in vain. These truths, however, were... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:1-33

This chapter contains two distinct messages. In the first, the prophet denounces an alliance with Egypt (verses Isa 30:1-26 ), and in the second foretells the destruction of Assyria (verses Isa 30:27-33 ). In the matter of the Egyptian alliance the prophet denounces the secret treaty, declares the shame and uselessness of it. He is instructed to write what shall be a testimony against the people. This he does by first describing the rebellious attitude which they have adopted, then by... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:1-7

Chapter 30 The Fourth Woe. Against Those Who Trust in Egypt Rather than in Yahweh (Isaiah 30:1-7 ). Having broken with Assyria and withheld tribute, as a result of the death of Sargon II of Assyria and the troubles that the new king Sennacherib was experiencing in cementing his kingship, Hezekiah and Judah now had to choose what they would do. Babylon’s rebellion had failed and she had been crushed by Sennacherib. She could no longer be counted on. Would they look to and depend on Egypt, who... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:1-5

Isaiah 30. Denunciation of the Egyptian Alliance. The Blessed Future of Israel. The Destruction of Assyria.— We should probably pass the same judgment on Isaiah 30:18-Ezekiel : as on Isaiah 29:16-Jeremiah :. The two passages are closely related, and are not improbably by the same author. A post-exilic date seems on the whole more likely. There are no substantial reasons for rejecting the Isaianic authorship of Isaiah 30:27-Micah :. Isaiah 30:1-Deuteronomy : . Woe to the unfilial rebels who... read more
