James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-21

JUDGMENT ON GENTILE NATIONS This is a long lesson to read, but the study put upon it need not be proportioned to its length. There is a sameness in the chapters, and their contents are not unlike what we reviewed in the preceding lesson. Note the names of the nations and their contiguity to God’s chosen people. They have come in contact with their history again and again, which is why they are singled out for special mention. It will be well here to review what was said about these Gentile... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 26:1-21

The Great Song Isaiah 26:0 There are some songs which cannot be kept to any land. They speak the universal language of human experience and human need, and therefore they are at home everywhere. There may be local tunes, which no one cares to transplant from the place of their origin; but there are other tunes that will cross the sea with you, and haunt the house where you live, and fall in with all the best excitements and holiest aspiration and most joyous movements of the soul. What suits... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 26:11-18

How strikingly is the conduct of wicked and unregenerate men here marked! If the Lord's hand be lifted up in judgments; though they see the judgments; yet as the Lord's judgments they see them not. And though the Lord's hand be fallen down in punishments; though the punishments they feel; yet the Lord's hand in them they regard not. Here again, as in the former verses, the contrast is set forth between the righteous and the wicked; between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not;... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 26:5-11

5-11 The way of the just is evenness, a steady course of obedience and holy conversation. And it is their happiness that God makes their way plain and easy. It is our duty, and will be our comfort, to wait for God, to keep up holy desires toward him in the darkest and most discouraging times. Our troubles must never turn us from God; and in the darkest, longest night of affliction, with our souls must we desire him; and this we must wait and pray to him for. We make nothing of our religion,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 26:12-19

12-19 Every creature, every business, any way serviceable to our comfort, God makes to be so; he makes that work for us which seemed to make against us. They had been slaves of sin and Satan; but by the Divine grace they were taught to look to be set free from all former masters. The cause opposed to God and his kingdom will sink at last. See our need of afflictions. Before, prayer came drop by drop; now they pour it out, it comes now like water from a fountain. Afflictions bring us to secret... read more

Concluding Scenes from the World's History v. 11. Lord, when Thy hand is lifted up, to punish the foes of His people, they will not see, they deliberately close their eyes against the manifestation of His majesty; but they shall see and be ashamed for their envy at the people, heaped with disgrace as they see the zeal of Jehovah for His people; yea, the fire of Thine enemies shall devour them, rather, "fire will devour Thine adversaries. " That is the judgment of God upon the wicked, by... read more
