イザヤ書 30:1 JCB

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 30:1-14

The Alliance with Egypt and the Rebellious People v. 1. Woe to the rebellious children, stubborn, obstinate, refractory people, saith the Lord, that take counsel, making plans of their own, but not of Me, without consulting Him, and that cover with a covering, weave an alliance, form a league, but not of My Spirit, not suggested or commanded by the Holy Spirit speaking through the Lord's messengers, that they may add sin to sin! The alliance of Judah with Egypt was not only undertaken... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-17

Fatal Reliance on Human Aid Isaiah 30:1-17 Toward the close of the 8th century, b.c. Jerusalem sent ambassadors to seek help from Egypt against Assyria, in distinct defiance of God’s repeated warnings. Isaiah denounced this as adding sin to sin. Even though their princes reached Zoan and Hanes, capital cities, and succeeded in their object, it would not help them. The beasts of burden might traverse the deserts with presents and bribes, but all would be in vain. These truths, however, were... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:1-33

This chapter contains two distinct messages. In the first, the prophet denounces an alliance with Egypt (verses Isa 30:1-26 ), and in the second foretells the destruction of Assyria (verses Isa 30:27-33 ). In the matter of the Egyptian alliance the prophet denounces the secret treaty, declares the shame and uselessness of it. He is instructed to write what shall be a testimony against the people. This he does by first describing the rebellious attitude which they have adopted, then by... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:1-7

Chapter 30 The Fourth Woe. Against Those Who Trust in Egypt Rather than in Yahweh (Isaiah 30:1-7 ). Having broken with Assyria and withheld tribute, as a result of the death of Sargon II of Assyria and the troubles that the new king Sennacherib was experiencing in cementing his kingship, Hezekiah and Judah now had to choose what they would do. Babylon’s rebellion had failed and she had been crushed by Sennacherib. She could no longer be counted on. Would they look to and depend on Egypt, who... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:1-5

Isaiah 30. Denunciation of the Egyptian Alliance. The Blessed Future of Israel. The Destruction of Assyria.— We should probably pass the same judgment on Isaiah 30:18-Ezekiel : as on Isaiah 29:16-Jeremiah :. The two passages are closely related, and are not improbably by the same author. A post-exilic date seems on the whole more likely. There are no substantial reasons for rejecting the Isaianic authorship of Isaiah 30:27-Micah :. Isaiah 30:1-Deuteronomy : . Woe to the unfilial rebels who... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 30:1

The rebellious children; the Jews, who call themselves God’s children, though they are rebellious ones, as was said, Isaiah 1:2. That take counsel; that consult together, and resolve to do what follows, Isaiah 30:2. Not of me; not following nor asking my advice, which they had command and encouragement from me to do. That cover with a covering; that seek protection. Not of my Spirit; not such as by my Spirit, speaking in my word, I have directed and required them to do; but such as I have... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-3

THE ORIGIN AND THE END OF SINIsaiah 30:1-3. Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of Me, &c.The policy inculcated by the Divine Ruler on the Jewish nation was a policy of isolation. Now, this would be a self-destructive policy. But the circumstances of that nation were peculiar. It was not a missionary to the world, but it was a witness. When it formed alliances with surrounding nations, its witness became indistinct. It often dropped its testimony and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-33

Chapter 30Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not from me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to their sin ( Isaiah 30:1 ):Now these people, the judgment was coming. They knew that Assyria was marching. But rather than turning to God for counsel and for help, they were sending ambassadors down to Egypt to make a mutual defense pact with Egypt so that they could hire the Egyptians to come and to help defend them against... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 30:1-33

Isaiah 30:1-2 . Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me. It was a law among all ancient nations to undertake nothing of importance without consulting the gods. In this instance it had been neglected by the embassy that went to Egypt. That cover with a covering, or literally, as in Montanus, “that pour out a libation;” for all the ancients ratified their covenants or treaties with sacrifices. They came back with eclat; they returned so elated, and... read more
