Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 55:6-13

6-13 Here is a gracious offer of pardon, and peace, and of all happiness. It shall not be in vain to seek God, now his word is calling to us, and his Spirit is striving with us. But there is a day coming when he will not be found. There may come such a time in this life; it is certain that at death and judgment the door will be shut. There must be not only a change of the way, but a change of the mind. We must alter our judgments about persons and things. It is not enough to break off from evil... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 55:6-13

Israel Called to Repentance v. 6. Seek ye the Lord, so the Lord now calls out to Israel through the proclamation of His prophet, while He may be found, while the time of grace is still present with them; call ye upon Him while He is near, while His salvation is so close at hand in the Word of His grace, while the opportunity for repentance is still held out. v. 7. Let the wicked forsake his way, no longer, in contempt of God, pursuing the way of his own lusts and desires, and the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 55:1-13

VII.—THE SEVENTH DISCOURSEThe New Way of appropriating SalvationIsaiah 55:1-5When we contemplate the contents of our chapters, one could almost outdo the modern criticism and exclaim: This was never written in the Exile ! It must have been written after Christ, by a disciple of Paul who read the epistles to the Romans and Galatians! But on closer inspection one observes that our Prophet describes, not what he lived to see and learned to know by experience, but future things that were still... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 55:10-11

Isaiah THE CALL TO THE THIRSTY Isa_55:1 - Isa_55:13 . The call to partake of the blessings of the Messianic salvation worthily follows the great prophecy of the suffering Servant. No doubt the immediate application of this chapter is to the exiled nation, who in it are summoned from their vain attempts to find satisfaction in the material prosperity realised in exile, and to make the only true blessedness their own by obedience to God’s voice. But if ever the prophet spoke to the world he... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 55:1-13

the Free Offer of Pardoning Grace Isaiah 55:1-13 The Prince of Life , Isaiah 55:4 , r.v. Four times in the New Testament this title is applied to our Lord, and always in connection with His Resurrection. See Acts 3:14-15 ; Acts 5:31 ; Hebrews 2:9-10 ; Hebrews 12:2 , where the words prince, author, and captain, are various translations of the same Greek word. The meaning of the original word is file leader. He leads out of death into life; out of defeat into victory; out of suffering into... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 55:1-13

Immediately following the song we have the prophet's great appeal. It is made in the consciousness of the victory won by the Servant of the Lord and the consequent possibility of restoration offered to the people. Nevertheless it distinctly sets forth the solemn conditions on which advantage may be taken of the great provision. It first recognizes the need of the people in the verses which describe their condition as thirsty, as being without money, as spending "money for that which is not... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 55:1-13

The Great Invitation Isaiah 55:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Isaiah 55:1-13 is a marvelous appendix to the fifty-second and fifty-third chapters. In discussing the fifty-third chapter we saw the marvelous story of redemption. The fifty-fourth chapter follows with God's appeal to Israel to sing because of the promise of her marvelous enlargement. God tells her she will break forth on the right hand, and on the left hand, that her seed will inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate city to be... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 55:8-13

The Certain Fulfilment of What Yahweh Has Purposed Through The Power Of His Word (Isaiah 55:8-13 ). Isaiah now concludes this section from Isaiah 40:1 onwards by a final statement of the triumph of God’s powerful word as it goes forward to do His will bringing new birth to creation and finally establishing victory to His people, bringing glory to His name. Thus will His purposes triumph. Beginning with the call of Abraham (chapter 41) and advancing through to the victory of God’s Davidic King... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 55:6-13

Isaiah 55:6-1 Chronicles : . Seek Yahweh, for the Great Deliverance is at Hand.— Let the exiles seek Yahweh, for the time is at hand. His plans for His people reach beyond their own as far as the heavens are exalted above the earth. Even as the rain and snow descend and do not return, but make the earth fruitful, so Yahweh’ s promise, that has gone forth from His lips, shall be accomplished without fail. (An utterance was looked upon by the Hebrews almost as a personal power fulfilling... read more
