Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 58:6-14

The Call To Covenant Righteousness (Isaiah 58:6-14 ). Isaiah 58:6-7 “Is not this the fast that I have chosen, To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, And that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? When you see the naked that you cover him, And that you do not hide yourself from your own flesh?” This is rather God’s approved way of fasting. Helping... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 58:1-14

Isaiah 58:1-2 Chronicles : . Fasting, False and True.— Yahweh bids the prophet explain to His people wherein their sin lies. Daily they attend the Temple, seeking to know His will for all the world as though their one aim were to do it! They question the priests as to correct ritual—“ righteous ordinances”— and delight in daily worship. “ Why,” they ask, “ when we fast does Yahweh take no notice of our pleas?” Because on their fast-days they pursue their business— so render rather than “... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 58:12

They that shall be of thee, i.e. either, 1. A remnant of thee among the captivity, that shall be as persons raised from the dead; or, 2. Thy posterity, expressed thus, because they sprang or proceeded from them. The old waste places, Heb. wastes of eternity, i.e. which have lain long waste; for holam doth not always signify what is bounded by no time, but what respects a long time, looking either forward, as Genesis 13:15; Exodus 21:6, or backward, as here, viz. the space of seventy years, and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 58:10-12

THE REWARDS OF BENEVOLENCEIsaiah 58:10-12. If thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, &c.The Bible has one grand and peculiar character,—it is the book of goodness; it everywhere recommends and extols the principle of benevolence; its two grand precepts are love to God and love to man. It never dispenses with either. Knowledge, gifts of tongues, and even faith without works is dead. Of all the striking exhibitions of the beauty and value of this cardinal quality, none can excel the one given... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 58:1-14

Chapter 58Cry aloud, spare not ( Isaiah 58:1 ),The Lord is commanding now the prophet Isaiah.lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgressions, and the house of Jacob their sins. Yet they seek me daily ( Isaiah 58:1-2 ),Now there was a real inconsistency here, because the attendance at the temple worship had not diminished at all. People were still going through outward forms of religion. There was a popular religious movement on the surface, but the heart of the people... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 58:1-14

Isaiah 58:1 . Cry aloud, spare not; lift up thy voice like a trumpet. It is not doubted by the Jews, nor by St. Jerome, that Isaiah lived to the beginning of Manasseh’s idolatrous reign; nor that he was sawn asunder, while opposing idolatry. Against sins which ruin a nation, the ministers of God must raise their voice, and not keep silence. Isaiah 58:3 . Wherefore have we fasted? The fasts of the Hebrews were many. Zechariah 7:3. The annual fast was on the tenth day of the seventh... read more
