Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:7-14

7-14 The latter part of this chapter, and the whole of the next, seem to express the prayers of the Jews on their conversation. They acknowledge God's great mercies and favours to their nation. They confess their wickedness and hardness of heart; they entreat his forgiveness, and deplore the miserable condition under which they have so long suffered. The only-begotten Son of the Father became the Angel or Messenger of his love; thus he redeemed and bare them with tenderness. Yet they murmured,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 63:7-17

The Lord's Loving-Kindness in the Past and his People's Prayers. v. 7. I will mention the loving-kindnesses of the Lord, so the pious believer sings, and the praises of the Lord, His glorious deeds, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, to which the hymn of thanksgiving must properly correspond, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which He hath bestowed on them according to His mercies, which is the source of all His acts of goodness, and according to the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 63:7-14

IV.—THE FOURTH DISCOURSEThe Prophet in Spirit puts Himself in the Place of the Exiled Church, and bears its Cause in Prayer before the Lords Isaiah 63:7 to Isaiah 64:11Chapters 60–63. 6, are like a prophetic high plateau, which the Prophet, by means of chapters 58 and 59 has ascended out of his own time. In this fourth discourse he comes down again to the present time, that is to say, to a time relatively present, to that of the people in exile. He transports himself entirely into this time, as... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 63:9

Isaiah THE SYMPATHY OF GOD Isa_63:9 . I. The wonderful glimpse opened here into the heart of God. It is not necessary to touch upon the difference between the text and margin of the Revised Version, or to enter on the reason for preferring the former. And what a deep and wonderful thought that is, of divine sympathy with human sorrow! We feel that this transcends the prevalent tone of the Old Testament. It is made the more striking by reason of the other sides of the divine nature which... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-9

the Mighty Savior Isaiah 63:1-9 For long years there had been virulent hostility between Israel and Edom. It began when Esau and Jacob were lads. It broke out in bitterness when Edom denied Israel the right of passage, Numbers 20:20-21 . When Babylon had triumphed over Jerusalem, Edom urged that her walls should be leveled to the ground, Psalms 137:7 . How great the change pictured here! The prophet stands at the division of the two countries, looking south, from the foothills of Judah... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:1-19

The last section of Isaiah (63-66) sets forth anew the operation of the principle of discrimination. All the blessing which has been described can result only from holiness, and ere that can be established there must be the period of judgment. In the first section the prophet describes the Warrior returning from the conflict. While that conflict is described, it is from the standpoint of its completion. One is seen returning with crimson garments, marching in the greatness of His strength. In... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:7-19

The Response of Jacob Through Isaiah (Isaiah 63:7 to Isaiah 64:12 ). In response to the glory and fierceness of the One Who is coming Isaiah, fearfully aware of what the future might hold, especially in the light of the revelations given to him, and knowing the spiritual condition of his own people, brings God into remembrance of what He has done for His people in the past. He draws out how He has chosen them and through them brought great glory to His name, and then pleads for Him to act... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:9-10

‘In all their affliction he was afflicted, And the angel of his presence (face) saved them, In his love and in his pity he redeemed them, And he bore them and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled and grieved his holy spirit, Therefore he was turned to be their enemy, Himself fought against them. The way in which He had saved them in the past is described in summary. He had shared sympathetically in their afflictions, feeling them deeply Himself. This was especially so in Egypt... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:7-14

Isaiah 63:7-2 Chronicles : . A Recital of Yahweh’ s Kindness to His People of Old.— This passage seems to be a liturgy of thanksgiving: resemblance to Pss. is obvious.I will recount Yahweh’ s acts of love, His deeds of renown, in accordance with all that Yahweh, great in goodness ( cf. LXX), has done for us. He thought, “ Surely they are My people, sons that will not play Me false.” So He became their deliverer in all their distress. Following LXX, connect the first four words of Isaiah 63:9... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 63:9

In all their affliction he was afflicted; because of all the afflictions they endured in Egypt: this notes the sympathy that is in Christ, he having the same Spirit in him that the church hath, and her Head and Father. Or, In all their afflictions no affliction; so the words may be read; their afflictions were rather favors than afflictions; all that befell them from the Red Sea through the wilderness; and then tzar is taken actively, he afflicted not: this may note his clemency, their sting... read more
