James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-24

JUDAH AND EGYPT These chapters make a unit since, with the exception of the opening part of chapter 28, they chiefly deal with Judah’s futile alliance with Egypt. Isaiah 28:0 Israel, or the kingdom of the ten tribes, is addressed under the name of her leading tribe “Ephraim” (Isaiah 28:1 ). Her great sin is strong drink. “The head of the fat valley” is Samaria the capital, which is soon to be overthrown by the Assyrians (Isaiah 28:2-4 ). Observe, however, the usual forecast of the end of the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 33:1-24

Prophetic Warnings Isaiah 31-33 Remember that. If on hearing that you choose to trust to Egypt, so be it; only, walk in the light, understand your position, make your choice deliberately, and abide by it. All that the Bible, a revelation from God, can do is to make distinctions, announce issues, address appeals to reason and to conscience, and there even an inspired volume ends its labour. The people imagined that Egypt was a sanctuary: the prophet said, It is so, in a very temporary and... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 33:13-14

If temporal judgments, like those which God wrought upon the Assyrian army, had such effect upon the sinners in Zion, what will be the terror and dismay of transgressors, in the prospect of the everlasting judgments of God? And, Reader, do not fail to remark, that these things are here said, not of sinners in general, but Zion's sinners more especially; the Christ-despising sinners, who count the blood of the covenant an unholy thing. Jeremiah 12:5 ; Hebrews 10:29 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:14

Of you. Hebrew, "of us." (Haydock) --- They are seriously alarmed at the sight of the fires prepared to burn the dead bodies of the Assyrians, (chap. xxx. 33.) and begin to think of hell, (Calmet) which their sins deserve. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 33:1-14

1-14 Here we have the proud and false destroyer justly reckoned with for all his fraud and violence. The righteous God often pays sinners in their own coin. Those who by faith humbly wait for God, shall find him gracious to them; as the day, so let the strength be. If God leaves us to ourselves any morning, we are undone; we must every morning commit ourselves to him, and go forth in his strength to do the work of the day. When God arises, his enemies are scattered. True wisdom and knowledge... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 33:13-24

The Sinners Alarmed, the Pious Comforted v. 13. Hear, ye that are far off, all the distant nations of the world, what I have done; and, ye that are near, the Jews and the nations near them, acknowledge My might, so Jehovah calls out through His herald. v. 14. The sinners in Zion, those who falsely professed the religion of Israel, though their heart was not in their worship, are afraid, terrified because their hypocrisy is about to be revealed; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites,... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 33:14-15

Isaiah HOW TO DWELL IN THE FIRE OF GOD Isa_33:14 - Isa_33:15 . - 1Jn_4:16 . I have put these two verses together because, striking as is at first sight the contrast in their tone, they refer to the same subject, and they substantially preach the same truth. A hasty reader, who is more influenced by sound than by sense, is apt to suppose that the solemn expressions in my first text, ‘the devouring fire’ and’ everlasting burnings,’ mean hell . They mean God , as is quite obvious from the... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 33:13-24

the Reward of the Righteous Isaiah 33:13-24 The devouring fire and everlasting burnings of Isaiah 33:14 are clearly the emblems of the divine presence. The righteous dwell in God as the bush which was baptized in the Shekinah-glory and was not consumed. The fire of His holy presence makes them holy at the same time that it protects them from their enemies. Compare with Psalms 15:1-5 . They are characterized by their walk, speech, the closed fist, the stopped ears, and the shut eyes. They... read more
