Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-26

CHAPTER IITHE THREE JERUSALEMS740-735 B.C.Isaiah 2:1-22; Isaiah 3:1-26; Isaiah 4:1-6AFTER the general introduction, in chapter 1, to the prophecies of Isaiah, there comes another portion of the book, of greater length, but nearly as distinct as the first. It covers four chapters, the second to the sixth, all of them dating from the same earliest period of Isaiah’s ministry, before 735 B.C. They deal with exactly the same subjects, but they differ greatly inform. One section (chapters 2-4.)... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 3:9

3:9 The {h} show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide [it] not. Woe to their soul! for they have rewarded evil to themselves.(h) When God examines their deed on which they now set an impudent face, he will find the mark of their impiety in their forehead. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-26

GENERAL DISCOURSES The first five chapters of Isaiah form a natural division, to which, for want of a better title, we give that of General Discourses, or messages. The first is limited to chapter 1, the second covers chapters 2-4, and the third chapter 5. But first notice the introduction, Isaiah 1:1 . By what word is the whole book described? What genealogy of the prophet is given? To which kingdom was he commissioned, Israel or Judah? In whose reigns did he prophesy? Examine 2 Kings,... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 3:1-26

Divine Judgments Isaiah 3:0 This is a chapter of judgments, and the judgments are given in detail. These judgments are said to have taken place within the gates of a city, even the city of Jerusalem. A tempest in a desert may have features of grandeur; but what of a tempest poured down with infinite fury upon the stately city, a city of palaces, temples, and treasuries of art? There the storm seems to be doubly furious and cruel. God made Jerusalem into a wilderness in the day of his wrath,... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 3:9

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "The shew of their countenance doth witness against them." Isa 3:9 Whatever men live upon shows itself even in the body. Our food becomes in a sense ourselves. If this is true of food for the body it is also true of food for the mind. Men cannot read perniciously and look virtuously. The ideas in which the mind most delights will give figure and colour and meaning to the very face. He who thinks mean thoughts cannot have a noble expression of... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 3:2-9

The prophet plainly shows by these verses, that the sin is universal. All ranks and all orders of the people are involved in the same sin, and consequently the same punishment. It is a melancholy state of the church, in all ages, when sin like a disease, runs through all: and it may be said, Like priest like people. In such a state, men will look to anything, yea to nothing, for countenance; and having forsaken the Rock of ages, would take confidence in the reeds of Egypt. Blessed Jesus! give... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 3:10-11

How sweet and precious doth the former of these verses come in, after the preceding relation! And how bitter and alarming the latter! Reader, depend upon it, such will be the striking distinction in that day which shall come, and which shall burn as an oven, Malachi 4:1-2 . Both in public and private visitations, the people of God are secure. It must be well with the justified soul in Christ. So Paul hath said under the Holy Ghost, and so the Lord's people know. Romans 8:33-34 ; Malachi 3:17-18... read more
