Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:1-10

The Final Result (Isaiah 10:33 to Isaiah 11:10 ). And now the scene suddenly changes. After the detail of the march the final result is dismissed in two sentences as a new prophecy opens up. Assyria is by now almost irrelevant. In mind now are all the enemies who come from the north in their proud and arrogant presumption against God’s people, all the enemies of Israel. They will be hewn down like a condemned forest and fall before the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, preparing the way for the new... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:5-10

The Coming Paradise (Isaiah 11:5-10 ). And now, having depicted a situation where good will triumph and evil perish, where all will be just and right, where everything will be in accord with the holiness and justice of God, Isaiah goes on to finalise the perfect picture. The King will rule in righteousness (Isaiah 11:5), and even throughout the animal kingdom peace and harmony will reign. For He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 11:6-9), while the nations and peoples will seek to the root of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:1-9

Isaiah 11:1-1 Samuel : . The Messiah’ s Divine Equipment.— If the reference to the hewn stump of David’ s house implies the overthrow of the monarchy, the passage presumably is not Isaiah’ s. This inference, perhaps, is not necessary; and if Isaiah 9:2-Judges : is his, the same judgment should probably be passed on Isaiah 11:1-1 Samuel :. The Messiah is to spring from the family of Jesse, i.e. he will be a second David. This family is described as the hewn stump of a tree. It is in a fallen... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 11:7

Shall feed together, as it follows, without any danger or fear. The lion shall eat straw, the grass and fruits of the earth, as they did at first, Genesis 1:29,Genesis 1:30, and shall not devour other living creatures, as now they do. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-16

ISAIAH’S VISION OF THE KING AND OF HIS KINGDOMCHAPTERS 11 AND 12This is one of the visions that Isaiah saw (chap. Isaiah 1:1, Isaiah 2:1, &c.). He was a dreamer of dreams. With a keen perception, not surpassed, of the men and things actually surrounding him, much of his life was passed in an ideal and future world. There he found comfort and strength to endure the sorrows that otherwise would have crushed him. At the outset of his ministry, when the great king who had done so much to... read more

DISCOURSE: 876THE CHANGE TO BE WROUGHT BY THE GOSPEL IN THE LATTER DAYIsaiah 11:6-9. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-16

Shall we turn to Isaiah, chapter 11, for the beginning of our study this evening.In the tenth chapter, the closing part of chapter 10 of Isaiah, and again, let me remind you that the chapter distinctions were made by men, not by the authors. But years later, in order that we might be able to ready reference scriptures, in order that you might be able to find them easily, they divided the Bible into chapters and verses. And that is only for our benefit so that we can reference. And so in the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 11:1-16

Isaiah 11:1 . A rod out of the stem of Jesse. See the note on Isaiah 4:2. David’s house had been cut down by Jehu, and latterly by the invasion against Ahaz: chap. 7. Now a branch shall arise out of Jesse’s root, notwithstanding all the excisions of the sword, to overshadow the church. This the elder rabbins with one consent expound of the Messiah, though modern Jews apply the prophecy to Hezekiah. This is the way to destroy the credibility of divine revelation, for none of the glorious... read more

Isaiah 11:6-9The wolf also shall dwell with the lambA portrait of humanityI.THE MORAL VARIETIES OF THE RACE. Men are here represented by irrational creatures, differing immensely in their organisations, their habits, and their tempers--the “wolf,” the “lamb,” etc. The physical differences between men are great. The mental differences are also great. But the moral varieties are, perhaps, greater still. There are men everywhere about us as ferocious as the “lion,” as savage as the “bear,” as... read more
