以赛亚书 8:11 RCUVSS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 8:11-16

I pray the Reader to observe with me, the tender care of God over his people, in times of general calamity. In these verses, the Prophet is commissioned to comfort the Lord's mourners; and a precious word of comfort he gives. The Lord speaking to the prophet with a strong hand, intimates the strong impression made on the prophet's mind, by what the Lord said. As if he had said, "Tell my people, in the midst of those sinners, not to fear the general tidings of evil, neither shall they seek to... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 8:9-16

9-16 The prophet challenges the enemies of the Jews. Their efforts would be vain, and themselves broken to pieces. It concerns us, in time of trouble, to watch against all such fears as put us upon crooked courses for our own security. The believing fear of God preserves against the disquieting fear of man. If we thought rightly of the greatness and glory of God, we should see all the power of our enemies restrained. The Lord, who will be a Sanctuary to those who trust in him, will be a Stone... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 8:5-15

A Rebuke and an Exhortation v. 5. The Lord spake also unto me again, in a series of prophecies whose final object was rich comfort to the true believers in Judah, saying, v. 6. Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah, the spring and tiny brook which sprang up at the foot of the Temple-mount and, with another spring, fed the pool Siloam, that go softly, with none of the boisterousness of a large stream, such as the Euphrates, the people despising the quiet manner in which the... read more

THREATENING AGAINST THOSE THAT CONSPIRE AGAINST JUDAH, AND AGAINST THOSE THAT FEAR THESE CONSPIRACIESIsaiah 8:9-15.9ASSOCIATE yourselves, O ye people, 1and ye shall be broken in pieces;And give ear, all ye of far countries:Gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces:Gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.10Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought;Speak the word, and it shall not stand:For God is with us.11For the LORD spake thus to me cwith a strong hand,And... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 8:5-18

Fear God’s Power, not Man’s Isaiah 8:5-18 It seems likely that Syria and Samaria attacked Ahaz because he would not join in a federation against the growing power of Assyria. A strong party seems to have pressed this policy on him, but in all such schemes they repudiated the Divine Protection, Isaiah 8:6 . Compare Psalms 46:4 . Ahaz and the court party on the other hand, sought to federate with Assyria. But Isaiah never ceased to urge that the true line of defense was to put away whatever... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 8:1-22

In this section we have the account of how the prophet turns from his more public ministry to devote himself to a small circle of believing souls. This departure was signalized by his writing on a tablet the ominous word, Maher-shulal-hash-baz, which means "the spoil speedeth, the prey hasteth." The prophet then turns to his children, the spiritual children who are faithful witnesses, and his own children. Jehovah declares to him that as the people have refused the gentle method of His... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 8:11-18

Meanwhile Isaiah And His Followers Are Not To Align Themselves With Any Political Party. All Are Heading For Disaster. Rather He Must Seal The Testimony of Yahweh (Isaiah 8:11-18 ). In the light of this future hope Isaiah now calls on the faithful to stand firm. Like him they must renounce the present conspiracies that are rivalling each other, (what he describes as, ‘the way of this people’). On the one hand are one set of plotters saying ‘we must persuade the king to yield to Syria and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 8:5-18

Isaiah 8:5-Job : . More Extracts on the Crisis from Isaiah’ s Autobiography.— It is not clear how many bits of the autobiography are included here, but the section for the most part probably deals with the coalition of Syria and Ephraim. Isaiah 8:5-2 Samuel : . Date of the earlier part about 735. The latter part (from “ and the stretching” ) is apparently a late addition. Judah despises the trickling waters of Shiloah, i.e. Yahweh’ s gentle working; her desire for measures less tame and more... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 8:11

With a strong hand; with a vehement and more than ordinary inspiration, strongly imprinting it in my mind. Of this people; of the generality of the people of Judah; whose eminent danger and calamity he foretells, Isaiah 8:8, but withal gives them full assurance that God would deliver them out of it, Isaiah 8:9,Isaiah 8:10; which he doth to aggravate the present sin of Ahaz and his people, in forsaking God, and seeking to the king of Assyria for help, as they did, 2 Kings 16:6-8. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 8:11-15

THREATENED, BUT SAFEIsaiah 8:9-10. Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces, &c.This is a shout of triumphant defiance which Ahaz and his people might have raised, had they listened to Isaiah’s counsels, and turned to the Lord with full purpose of heart. Then they might have been threatened by foes numerous, powerful, determined, and confederated, but they would have been safe. Its doctrine clearly is, that it matters not who may be against us, if God be with us.... read more
