以賽亞書 44:11 CUNPTS

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 44:10-20

Isaiah Reveals The Folly of Idolatry (Isaiah 44:10-20 ). Note the contrast of this passage with what precedes it. Isaiah brings out that while it is Yahweh Who formed Israel, the idol is merely fashioned by its owner (Isaiah 44:2 with Isaiah 44:9-13). While Yahweh can pour forth that which produces growth, the idol is a part of what is grown. While Yahweh is the first and the last, the idol is but a spare bit of wood, and has had to be grown, and then shaped, and is even then something that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 44:6-23

Isaiah 44:6-Ruth : , Isaiah 44:21-: . The Incomparableness of Yahweh, Who Redeems Israel.— Yahweh of (the heavenly) Hosts ( Genesis 2:1 *, 1 Samuel 1:3 *) asserts His uniqueness, challenging any who claim to have foretold the future aright to make their pretensions good. His people need not fear: long ago, as they can testify, He foretold what is now coming to pass. Let them remember the incomparableness of their Master. He blots out their sins as the sun disperses the morning clouds. The... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 44:11

All his fellows; either, 1. The workmen, as it follows, who in this work are companions or partners with him, by whose cost and command the work is done. Or, 2. Those who any way assist and encourage him in this work, and join with him in worshipping the image which he maketh. They are of men; they are of mankind, and therefore cannot possibly make a god. Or, they are of the meanest sort of men; for so the Hebrew word adam sometimes signifies. They shall be ashamed together; though all combine... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 44:9-20

IDOL-MAKERSIsaiah 44:9-20. They that make a graven image, &c.What have we in this section of this chapter? An effective exposure of the folly of a practice that was almost universal! A fact in itself worth thinking about. We see the folly of the practice, yet it prevailed without any one suspecting its absurdity! Practical lesson: Things are not necessarily right because they are common. True of matters of faith and practice. Yet there is a general tendency to take it for granted that... read more

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 44:1-28

Isaiah 44:5 . Another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord. This phrase is somewhat obscure; it is not said whether they signed a covenant, or imprinted some mark on their hand. The latter sense is preferred by the critics. Vide Poli Synopsis. Slaves were branded in the hand with their master’s name; the cruel Assyrians branded their forehead. The heathen generally imprinted on their children, the mark or the sign of the god to which they were devoted. The worshippers of the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 44:9-20

Isaiah 44:9-20They that make a graven imageThe vanity of graven imagesSubstituting homely prose for glowing poetry we may, after a fashion, reduce the prophet’s thought to propositions like the following--1.Neither the idol nor its god knows anything, while Jehovah knows all. 2. Neither the idol nor its god can do aught, while Jehovah is almighty. 3. Neither the idol nor its god is aught, while Jehovah is the living God, God of the entire universe, and a God of love,--in a word, the perfect... read more
