Isaiah 48:13 NLT,NIV,ESV

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 48:12-14

Reader! observe what grace is, again and again displayed in every verse, as we prosecute this sweet Chapter. Though the Lord began by pointing out Israel's rebellion, and this was followed up with expostulation, yet when the Lord comes to speak of himself and his covenant relationship to his people, the cloud seems at once removed, and the brightness of his countenance comes forth in shining lustre and when taking to himself his great name, the glorious I AM, the First and the Last, and... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 48:9-15

9-15 We have nothing ourselves to plead with God, why he should have mercy upon us. It is for his praise, to the honour of his mercy, to spare. His bringing men into trouble was to do them good. It was to refine them, but not as silver; not so thoroughly as men refine silver. If God should take that course, they are all dross, and, as such, might justly be put away. He takes them as refined in part only. Many have been brought home to God as chosen vessels, and a good work of grace begun in... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 48:12-22

An Urgent Invitation to Believe the Lord's Word v. 12. Hearken unto Me, O Jacob and Israel, My called, the form of address once more being in the usual cordial style used by the Lord in speaking to the people of His choice, here identical with His Church; I am He: I am the First, I also am the Last, this fundamental truth being repeated also here, where Jehovah prepares to preach salvation. v. 13. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand hath spanned the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 48:1-22

HOMILETICAL HINTS1. On Isaiah 48:1-2. “We, for our part, are also quite fallen into Jewish security. For we take great comfort from this, that we know, that we have God’s word simple and pure, and the same is indeed highly to be praised and valued. But it is not enough for one to have the word. One ought and must live according to it, then will God make account of us. But where one lives without the fear of God and in sin, and hears the word without amendment, there God will punish all the... read more

the Obstinate and Insincere Rebuked Isaiah 48:1-16 We are meant to be for God’s praise and glory; but we may delay the realization of His high purpose. Our neck iron, our brow brass, we trust in idols and refuse to open our ear. It is necessary, therefore, to send us to Babylon, where, as in a furnace for silver, the dross and alloy are purged away. Many of us are in furnaces which have been rendered needful through our evil ways. Notwithstanding our sins, God comes to the furnace mouth and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 48:1-22

This chapter constitutes the last section of the division dealing with the purpose of peace. It is a great appeal to the people. It first describes Jehovah's methods (verses Isa 48:1-11 ). He has had to do with a failing people, a people mentioning His name, but not in truth. His method has been that of prophecy and swift performance on account of their obstinacy, and to prevent them attributing to idols the things wrought by Jehovah. All this He has done for His own name's sake. This method... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 48:1-22

YAHWEH IS ABOUT TO ACT SO AS TO ESTABLISH HIS PEOPLE AND PREPARE THE WAY FOR HIS SERVANT (Isaiah 44:24 to Isaiah 48:22 ). As with what has gone before it is necessary for us to determine the viewpoint from which we will see these narratives, and in order to do so we must put ourselves in the shoes of Isaiah. Chapters 1-39 were mainly behind him, Hezekiah was dead, and what lay before him was the future in terms of Manasseh’s reign. That reign had not had a promising beginning. Manasseh had... read more

Isaiah 48:12 “Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, my called, I am he, I am the first, I am also the last, Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And my right hand has stretched out the heavens, When I call to them they stand up together. Having assured them that in spite of all they are His called ones, God opens His further appeal to Israel by describing what He... read more

Isaiah 48:12-Nehemiah : . The “ New Things” which Yahweh Shows.— Yahweh emphasizes His incomparable and eternal majesty as Creator. When He had fashioned the earth and the heavens at His word they took their places. Let Israel assemble and answer His question, “ What heathen god has foretold that which is now taking place? Who has brought Cyrus forth to do His will on Babylon?” It is He who has called him and prospered his way. He is not speaking in secret but from the time when the event... read more
