イザヤ書 22:8 JCB

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 22:1-25

In the midst of the prophecies concerning the nations occurs one of protest against the indifference of Jerusalem to the prophet's messages. He first describes the joyous people as they stand in contrast to him, with his sorrow and his broken heart. He introduces his description by inquiring what ails them. He then declares it to be a day of discomfiture, and speaks of the gathering armies and of the siege of the city. It was a day in which Jehovah had called to mourning, and they were filled... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 22:1-11

God’s People Must Choose Between Excessive And Unjustified Hilarity Resulting From False Confidence, or Mourning Over Sin and Trusting In Him (Isaiah 22:1-11 ) Jerusalem is seen as having become a scene of rejoicing, but Isaiah is only too well aware that it is all for the wrong reasons. For in the face of the approaching enemy, instead of having confident trust in Yahweh, they are spurring themselves on and are wildly elated and fatalistic, and are relying on their own defences and on their... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 22:1-14

Isaiah 22:1-2 Chronicles : . Jerusalem’ s Inexcusable Frivolity.— The prophecy apparently belongs to the time of Sennacherib’ s invasion. Its menacing tone contrasts with that of some other prophecies of the time. The people had provoked Isaiah’ s sternest anger by giving themselves up to festivity. Probably this was after the siege had been raised, either temporarily or when Sennacherib’ s army had been withdrawn after the disaster recorded in Isaiah 37:36. In the reaction caused by this... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 22:8

He; the enemy, Sennacherib, of whose invasion he seems to speak. The covering of Judah: he took those fenced cities, which were a covering or safeguard both to the people of Judah, who fled to them, and to Jerusalem, which was begirt and defended by them. Thou didst look in that day to the armour; thy hope and trust was wholly or chiefly placed in the arm of flesh. For although Hezekiah was commended for his trust in God, yet the generality of the people were guilty of distrust in God, and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 22:1-25

Chapter 22Now in chapter 22 he turns his attention to Jerusalem, which is referred to as the valley of vision. And this is,The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that you've gone up to the housetops? That you are full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle. All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far. Therefore said... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 22:1-25

Isaiah 22:1 . The valley of vision. A valley near Jerusalem, so called because of a school of the prophets said to have been there. Isaiah 22:3 . All thy rulers are fled. All thy captains of hundreds and thousands are gone beyond the Jordan, or wherever they could, from the bow and piercing arrows of the bloody Assyrians. The terror of the invaders deprived the people of natural courage. Isaiah 22:6 . Elam, then subject to the Assyrians, bare the quiver, and were famed for archery.... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 22:8-11

8-11. He discovered the covering of Judah “He” is indefinite, but from the verses following it is quite evident that it refers to the Jews. The expression means, “The covering of Judah was removed.” The Jews become conscious of their own condition, and are alarmed. Look… to the armour To the arsenal of shields, etc., in the house of the forest, so named from its Lebanon cedars of which it was made. Breaches They look also to the bad condition of the walls, and to gathering from the... read more
