Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:27-33

The Destruction of Assyria (Isaiah 30:27-33 ). However, although there will be no help for them in Egypt, they will be delivered, for God Himself will act to deliver them. For the remnant who come through the fire, those who have sought refuge on God’s mountain, the true believers, there will be mercy, because God will act for them and sweep away the enemy. This passage opens with ‘the name of Yahweh’ being revealed in judgment and fire, and closes with ‘the breath of Yahweh’ expressing... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:27-33

Isaiah 30:27-Micah : . If this is the work of Isaiah, it describes the overthrow of Assyria. The description is very vigorous, and some feel that the loud colours are dashed on too violently to make Isaiah’ s authorship probable. And the zest with which the disaster is painted is thought to be unworthy of him. But these reasons are far from cogent. Yahweh comes like the dense thunder-cloud from the far horizon, from which the devastating lightning will leap, while torrential rain floods the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 30:31

The voice of the Lord; that voice mentioned in the last verse. Which smote with a rod; which was the rod wherewith God smote his and other people, Isaiah 10:5,Isaiah 10:6. He who used to smite others shall now be smitten himself. Or, as the words may be, and by others are, rendered, he (the Lord last mentioned) shall smite him with a rod, or with his rod. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 30:29-33

THE EARTHLY SONG AND THE HEAVENLY VOICEIsaiah 30:29-33. Ye shall have a song … and the Lord shall cause His glorious voice to be heard, &c.The fulfilment of this prophecy is recorded in Isaiah 37:36. The Assyrian power, hitherto unopposed in its march of conquest, sustained a severe check when it assailed Jerusalem. The great deliverance is here foretold. Inside the walls there would be song and gladness; outside, swift destruction. “The holy solemnity” was probably the Passover which... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-33

Chapter 30Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not from me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to their sin ( Isaiah 30:1 ):Now these people, the judgment was coming. They knew that Assyria was marching. But rather than turning to God for counsel and for help, they were sending ambassadors down to Egypt to make a mutual defense pact with Egypt so that they could hire the Egyptians to come and to help defend them against... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 30:1-33

Isaiah 30:1-2 . Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me. It was a law among all ancient nations to undertake nothing of importance without consulting the gods. In this instance it had been neglected by the embassy that went to Egypt. That cover with a covering, or literally, as in Montanus, “that pour out a libation;” for all the ancients ratified their covenants or treaties with sacrifices. They came back with eclat; they returned so elated, and... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:30-31

30, 31. Isaiah 30:27-28; Isaiah 30:27-28, depict the approach of the great judge; here the description of the judgment begins. Voice… heard God’s “voice” is “heard,” also, as the delivered ones shout their song, and the action of his arm is seen image of corporal chastisement. Indignation… anger Manifested as fury, under figure of an animal snorting, with flames bursting from its nostrils, leaving behind a scattering, the work of a tempest, and stones of hail. Here, again, our prophet... read more
