The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 10:5-19

Woe Against Assyria v. 5. O Assyrian, the rod of Mine anger, and the staff in their hand is Mine indignation, literally, "Woe to Asshur (which is) the rod of My wrath, and the staff, that in their hand, Mine indignation. " The Lord here pronounces a woe upon Assyria; for whereas He wanted to use this nation merely as His instrument in punishing Israel, the Assyrians took the opportunity to gratify their own lust for conquest and bloodshed. v. 6. I will send him against an hypocritical nation,... read more

C.—ASSYRIA’S DESTRUCTION THE SALVATION OF ISRAELIsaiah 10:5 to Isaiah 12:1This address is related to the two that precede as bright day to dark night. After Israel is compelled to hear that the same Assyria to which Judah’s king had appealed for help shall be the instrument of his severe chastisement, now Assyria must hear that the Lord will destroy His instrument, because it fulfilled its mission, not in the mind of God, but in the sense of its own brutal lusts, and with proud boasting about... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-19

the Mighty Laid Low Isaiah 10:5-19 This question is addressed to the Assyrian invader, described as God’s staff and rod. He was the means of inflicting deserved penalty on the world of that age, and especially on the Chosen People. He had no thought of this, but considered himself free to wreak his will without reference to that Higher Power whose agent he was. But the ruthless manner in which he carried out his work was destined to come under the divine judgment, Isaiah 10:12-15 . The... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:5-34

This is a prophecy of judgment on Assyria, and is full of interest. Assyria is the power which Jehovah is using for the punishment of His people, but because it fails to understand its true relation to God, it, in turn, will be judged. The prophet first indicates this contrast of intention. Jehovah's intention is that the Assyrian shall be a rod in His hand. The Assyrian intention is to destroy the people of God. He then declares the divine purpose. The Lord will accomplish His work on... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:5-15

1). God First Calls On His Selected Instrument To Act But Then Rebukes Him For Overreacting (Isaiah 10:5-15 ). In this vivid illustration Assyria is depicted as being the rod of God’s anger. Assyria might think that they are acting under the instructions of their own gods, but the real truth is that they are being used by Yahweh to do His will. Analysis. a Ho, Assyria, the rod of My anger, in whose hand is the staff of My indignation. I will send him against a profane (godless) nation, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:5-34

Chapter Isaiah 10:5-34 Assyria Will Advance And Conquer As A Judgment On God’s People But Will Finally Be Brought Down, For Final Deliverance Is Certain. In the remainder of this chapter is described God’s call on Assyria to fulfil His will and act as His punitive rod, and Assyria’s subsequent arrogance in doing so which will bring judgment rebounding on themselves. This is followed by assurance of final deliverance for God’s people. But before that they must experience the Assyrian advance, read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:5-34

Isaiah 10:5-Nahum : . Assyria’ s Boastfulness and Its Punishment.— This prophecy, so far as it is Isaiah’ s, must be later than the capture of Carchemish in 717 and before Sennacherib’ s invasion in 701. Narrower limits cannot be fixed. Non-Isaianic material appears to be present in it. Isaiah 10:5-Psalms : . Assyria is Yahweh’ s rod to smite any nation that has aroused His anger, but, inspired by lust of blood, plans to exterminate many peoples, and boastfully thinks to destroy Jerusalem... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 10:6

I will send him, not by express commission, but by the secret yet powerful conduct of my providence, giving him both occasion and inclination to this expedition. Hypocritical: See Poole "Isaiah 9:17". The people of my wrath; the objects of my just wrath, devoted to destruction. Give him a charge, by putting this instinct into his mind. To tread them down like the mire of the streets; which signifies that he should easily conquer them, and utterly destroy them, as he did after this time. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-34

THE ASSYRIAN INVASION OF JUDAHIsaiah 10:5-34. O Assyrian, the rod of Mine anger, &c.This prophecy may be used to illustrate the following truths of abiding interest. I. The power of empires and the policy of statesmen are all under the control of God. Free-will is one great fact of the universe; an all-controlling providence is another; and God knows how to harmonise both. In investing man with free-will, God did not abdicate the throne of the universe; He still rules, and whether they do... read more
