James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 21:1-17

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 21:13-17

The Arabians and Dedanims are here brought in for a portion of the calamities now hanging over the countries to be made desolate. It is probable, that the latter were the descendants of Dedan, a son of Abraham, whom Keturah bare him, Genesis 25:3 . And as to Kedar, so often spoken of in the word of God, we are not at a loss to trace the origin to Ishmael. The church in her song, speaks of her corruptions by nature, under the figure of the blackness of Kedar while rejoicing in her comeliness,... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 21:13-17

13-17 The Arabians lived in tents, and kept cattle. A destroying army shall be brought upon them, and make them an easy prey. We know not what straits we may be brought into before we die. Those may know the want of necessary food who now eat bread to the full. Neither the skill of archers, nor the courage of mighty men, can protect from the judgments of God. That is poor glory, which will thus quickly come to nothing. Thus hath the Lord said to me; and no word of his shall fall to the ground.... read more

Against Edom and Arabia v. 11. The burden of Dumah, that is, Idumea, the land of Edom, the land of the night and stillness of death: He calleth to me out of Seir, which is the country of Edom, between the Dead Sea and the Elanitic Gulf of the Red Sea, Watchman, what of the night? Is there any hope for the dawn of deliverance? Watchman, what of the night? the repetition of the call showing the eagerness of the people of Idumea to be delivered from the night of their calamity which, as the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 21:1-17

In this chapter we have prophecies concerning Babylon, Dumah, and Arabia. With regard to Babylon, the prophet has seen the vision of the whirlwind sweeping against it, and so terrible is it that he is filled with horror. Babylon, all unconscious, is described as given over to carousal. The prophet at the command of Jehovah has been on the watch tower and has now seen the foe coming against Babylon. He makes this the occasion of warning to his own people. Very brief but very forceful is the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 21:1-17

Chapter 21 The Burdens on The Wilderness of the Sea, on Dumah and on Arabia. We now come to the second five of the ten burdens. And here we pause to note the careful way in which the prophecy has been put together. Like the first of the ten this sixth burden refers to Babylon. But while the first referred to a triumphant Babylon, then humiliated, this time it is a Babylon defeated from the beginning. The third burden spoke of Moab and its search for refuge from Assyria, and ended with the time... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 21:13-17

The Burden Upon Arabia (Isaiah 21:13-17 ). Arabia is not offered such hope. She is rightly apprehensive, and her troops, which had been involved in the alliance, have returned as fugitives. And she has no future. Within one year disaster will come on them. So much for the alliance in which their hopes had been placed. Analysis. · The burden upon Arabia. You will lodge in the forest in Arabia, O you travelling companions of Dedanites (Isaiah 21:13). · To him who was thirsty, they brought... read more
