Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 22:12

"And in that day did the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, call to weeping and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: and, behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die. And Jehovah of hosts revealed himself in mine ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts."These verses announce the "death sentence" for Jerusalem; and, oddly enough, it... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 22:12-14

Isaiah 22:12-14. And in that day did, &c.— Or, And in that day will, &c. Another fault which the prophet imputes to the carnal Jews, is manifest and hardened epicurism, or carnal security, founded in impious and profane principles, by which, giving up the hopes of a better life, they indulged themselves in the voluptuous use of present good things; a wickedness which, as most offensive to him, God here denounces by his prophet that he will punish to the last degree. See ch. Isa 3:14... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 22:12

12. did the Lord God call—Usually the priests gave the summons to national mourning ( :-); now JEHOVAH Himself shall give it; the "call" shall consist in the presence of a terrible foe. Translate, "shall call." baldness—emblem of grief (Job 1:20; Micah 1:16). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 22:13

13. Notwithstanding Jehovah's "call to mourning" ( :-), many shall make the desperate state of affairs a reason for reckless revelry (Isaiah 5:11; Isaiah 5:12; Isaiah 5:14; Jeremiah 18:12; 1 Corinthians 15:32). 1 Corinthians 15:32- :. PROPHECY THAT SHEBNA SHOULD BE DEPOSED FROM BEING PREFECT OF THE PALACE, AND ELIAKIM PROMOTED TO THE OFFICE. In Isaiah 36:3; Isaiah 36:22; Isaiah 37:2, we find Shebna "a scribe," and no longer prefect of the palace ("over the household"), and Eliakim in that... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 22:12

Rather, in that day, the people should turn to the Lord in repentance, and reaffirm their trust in Him for their security. He is the sovereign, almighty God who can save. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 22:13

However, they would not repent but rejoice in their apparent security, believing that if they could not save themselves, nothing else could (cf. Revelation 9:20-21). Isaiah saw in the present rejoicing over security (Isaiah 22:1-2 a) the same attitude of self-sufficiency that would doom the Jerusalemites in the future.Normally ancient Near Easterners used cattle and sheep for producing milk and wool; they did not slaughter them to eat very often because these animals produced valuable products.... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 22:14

The Lord had revealed to Isaiah that He would not forgive their unbelief in Himself. As long as they continued to trust in themselves rather than in Him, He would not save them.Unbelief persisted in until death is the only sin that God will not forgive. In the unsaved it results in eternal damnation, and in the saved it results in the loss of some eternal reward plus temporal punishment in some cases. However, as long as people can repent there is hope. Repentance was still possible for... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 22:1-14

Jerusalem RebukedA severe rebuke of the conduct of the people of Jerusalem in a time of calamity. The crisis refered to cannot be certainly identified. The difficulty in assigning the passage to Sennacherib’s invasion (701 b.c.) is that other prophecies relating to it are marked by encouragement, not, as here, by a tone of rebuke. Perhaps the present prophecy should be dated 711, the time of Sargon’s invasion.1-7. The unworthy behaviour of the people of Jerusalem when attack is imminent.8-11.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 22:12

(12) To weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness . . .—National danger, Isaiah adds, should call to a national repentance in its outward manifestations, like the fast described in Joel 2:0 “Baldness,’ produced by the tearing of the hair in extreme grief, took its place naturally, with weeping and sackcloth, in those manifestations. read more
