イザヤ書 57:14 JCB

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 57:3-14

The Present Behaviour of the Godless; The People Become Like the Leaders That They Support (Isaiah 57:3-14 ). There now follows a description of the backsliding of the people into idolatry and the occult. This fits in well with the reign of Manasseh (2 Kings 21:1-9), although it also applied under earlier kings such as Ahaz (2 Kings 16:1-4). Isaiah had not been satisfied with the reign of the godly Hezekiah, how much more devastating for him therefore must have been the beginnings of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 57:14-21

Yahweh Will Make A Way Back To Himself And Will Restore Those Whom He Chooses To Himself In Spite of Their Undeserving and Unresponsiveness (Isaiah 57:14-21 ). They must remember that in spite of what they are God in His high and holy place is sovereign. He will prepare a way back to Himself for His true people, and although He is angry at their self-interested desire for gain, and their stubbornness in response to His call, He will heal them and lead them and restore comfort to them, and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 57:14-21

Isaiah 57:14-Ecclesiastes : . A Gracious Promise to the Party of the Pious.— This oracle is modelled on Isaiah 40, though the “ way” is figurative. Yahweh commands that the Way of His adherents be raised and freed from obstacles. He, the High and Lofty ( cf. Isaiah 6:1), who, unlike the perishing idols, sits upon a throne of eternity, dwells also with the (politically) crushed and lowly, whose fortunes He will revive. He will not be angry for ever, lest all creation should perish. Because of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 57:14

And shall say, Heb. And he shall say; or, And one shall say. God will raise up a man who shall say these words, and that with authority and efficacy, so as the thing shall be done. Cast ye up; make causeways, where it is needful, for their safe and easy passage. Take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people; remove all things which may hinder them in their return. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 57:1-21

Chapter 57The righteous man perishes, and no man lays it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, and none is considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come ( Isaiah 57:1 ).There are many who see this verse as a description of what happens at the rapture of the church. As the merciful are taken away and no man considering the fact that they have been taken away from the evil that is to come, from the period of the Great Tribulation that is coming.He shall enter into peace:... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 57:1-21

Isaiah 57:1 . The righteous perisheth. This was written as a tribute, it would seem, to the memory of king Hezekiah, who was recently called from an earthly to a heavenly crown. He entered into peace, beyond the reach of all the calamities impending over his country. The nation at large did not know their loss, and therefore sorrowed not as the prophet would have them do. Isaiah 57:4 . Against whom do ye sport yourselves? The idolaters, finding the young king Manasseh decidedly in... read more

Isaiah 57:14And shall say, Cast ye upGod righteous, yet graciousThe second half of Isaiah 57:13 forms a transition to the next section, which is a promise of salvation to the true Israel.In striking contrast to the menacing tone of Isaiah 57:3 f is the impressive and elevated language in which the prophet now sets forth the gracious thoughts of Jehovah towards His erring but repentant people. (Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.)A round to GodIn this passage the cry goes forth, not on behalf of a... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 57:14

Isa 57:14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people. Ver. 14. And they shall say. ] Or, And it shall be said. This is further added, for the comfort of those that trusted in God, that they shall have a smooth and clear passage home. This is literally meant of their return from Babylon; but mystically of the recollection of the Church out of the captivity of the devil and power of sin. read more
