Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 33:1-24

Chapter 33 The Sixth Woe Against Those Who Despoil Others and Who Are Treacherous. The sixth woe seems in context to be directed against Assyria for some treacherous act. We can compare and contrast how the previous list of woes ended with a ‘ho’ (or ‘woe’) towards Assyria (Isaiah 10:5), but now Assyria has gone beyond the pale and receives ‘woe’ instead. The treacherous act may be seen as occurring in 2 Kings 18:13-18 when Sennacherib accepted peace terms and tribute from Hezekiah but then... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 33:7-12

Bewailing The Treachery of the Enemy (Isaiah 33:7-12 ). Meanwhile the Assyrian advance continued. Yahweh had promised action, but had not yet acted. He was waiting above for the right time to arrive. All was in suspense. Isaiah 33:7-8 ‘Behold their valiant ones cry outside, The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly. The highways lie waste, the traveller ceases, He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, He does not regard man.’ Humanly speaking great hopes had been placed in the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 33:1-24

Isaiah 33. Denunciation of the Treacherous Foe. Zion’ s Extremity, Yahweh’ s Opportunity.— If Isaiah’ s, the date is apparently 701, and the situation presupposed is Sennacherib’ s demand for unconditional surrender of Jerusalem after he had received an enormous tribute from Hezekiah. This breach of faith would cause the weeping of the ambassadors ( Isaiah 33:7). But the chapter is now usually regarded as post-exilic. The parallels in language are with late Psalms, and the list of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 33:7

Behold: that the mercy here promised might be duly magnified, he makes a lively representation of their great danger and distress, in which it found them. Their valiant ones; or, their heralds or messengers, as the Hebrew doctors expound the word: either, 1. Those whom the king of Assyria sent to Jerusalem, 2 Kings 18:17. Or rather, 2. Those whom Hezekiah sent to treat with the Assyrian commissioners, 2 Kings 18:18, as the next clause showeth. Shall cry without, through grief and fear. The... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 33:7-12

GOD AVENGING HIS OWN ELECTIsaiah 33:7-12 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without, &c.I. A PICTURE OF DESOLATION.The picture has two distinct points of interest—1. Man (Isaiah 33:7). Desolation receives nowhere so strong and pathetic expression as in the strong cries and tears of a man. The purer and nobler the man, so much the more affecting is it to hear his despairing cry and look upon his tears. The child cannot bear to see his father weep, because his father is to him the ideal... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-24

Chapter 33Now chapter 33 begins with a warning to the Assyrians.Woe unto thee that spoilest, and you have not been spoiled; you that deal treacherously, you've not been dealt treacherously with! ( Isaiah 33:1 )The Assyrians were extremely treacherous people. They often would mutilate their prisoners of war. Physically mutilate them. They would pull out their tongues. They would gouge out their eyes. They would physically mutilate their prisoners of war. They were extremely cruel. History... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 33:1-24

Isaiah 33:1 . Woe to thee, thou spoiler, who hast not been spoiled; And thou plunderer, who hast not been plundered. When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; When thou art weary of plundering, they shall plunder thee. LOWTH. Here is a very remarkable sentence against Assyria, in four striking forms. The apostrophes are full of beauty, and the figures most impressive. the connection between the crimes and the punishment being of long continuance, the sentence is against the... read more

Isaiah 33:7The ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterlyThe weeping ambassadorsTell me not of the removal of statesmen, the falling of generals or admirals in warfare, the removal of princes or monarchs from palaces and thrones--all these may take place and leave, comparatively, no chasm in society, when contrasted with the removal of an ambassador for Jesus.I. WHAT ARE WE TO UNDERSTAND BY AMBASSADORS OF PEACE? An ambassador of peace must come under a threefold description of character. 1. He is... read more
