Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 24:1-23

The Consecration of Suffering Isaiah 24:15 Religion consists in taking things out of their common places, and in removing them from a lower to a higher level. To hold everything in God, to use it for God, to dedicate it to God this is consecration. I. The Great Danger of Suffering whether it be physical or mental suffering is threefold: a. Pride, because we become exceptional, and are made much of. b. Indolence, because the nerves become unstrung. c. Selfishness, because at such times... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

CHAPTER XXVIIITHE EFFECT OF SIN ON OUR MATERIAL CIRCUMSTANCEDATE UNCERTAINIsaiah 24:1-23THE twenty-fourth of Isaiah is one of those chapters which almost convince the most persevering reader of Scripture that a consecutive reading of the Authorised Version is an impossibility. For what does he get from it but a weary and unintelligent impression of destruction, from which he gladly escapes to the nearest clear utterance of gospel or judgment? Criticism affords little help. It cannot clearly... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 24:1

24:1 Behold, the LORD maketh the {a} earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.(a) This prophecy is as a conclusion of that which has been threatened to the Jews and other nations from the 13th chapter and therefore by the earth he means those lands which were named before. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 24:1-23

Self Overthrown Isaiah 24:0 Achapter like this will bear many readings. A quaint commentator has said, "This is gallant rhetoric, compared with which the thunders of Demosthenes are poor stuff." The man who wrote that knew every word that Demosthenes had ever said in his greatest orations. How true it is that there is no eloquence like the eloquence of the Bible! The difficulty is that people will not read it. The twenty-fourth chapter and the twenty-seventh, and all between, should be read at... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-3

Some of the old copies read the word earth, land, and confine the sorrows to the house of Judah. But it should seem from what follows in the after-parts of the chapter, where the same subject is spoken of as the whole world languishing, to be more general, yea, universal. And when we consider that, by the sin of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation, there can be no reason for limiting the consumption of human nature, and the sorrows of mankind to the house of Judah. Reader, do not... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:1

Earth. After the ten preceding threats, the prophet denounces destruction to the whole world, (Worthington) at the day of judgment; though he may also allude to the desolation of the promised land, as our Saviour joins both in the same prediction, Matthew xxiv. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 24:1-12

1-12 All whose treasures and happiness are laid up on earth, will soon be brought to want and misery. It is good to apply to ourselves what the Scripture says of the vanity and vexation of spirit which attend all things here below. Sin has turned the earth upside down; the earth is become quite different to man, from what it was when God first made it to be his habitation. It is, at the best, like a flower, which withers in the hands of those that please themselves with it, and lay it in their... read more
