Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 8:5-18

Isaiah 8:5-Job : . More Extracts on the Crisis from Isaiah’ s Autobiography.— It is not clear how many bits of the autobiography are included here, but the section for the most part probably deals with the coalition of Syria and Ephraim. Isaiah 8:5-2 Samuel : . Date of the earlier part about 735. The latter part (from “ and the stretching” ) is apparently a late addition. Judah despises the trickling waters of Shiloah, i.e. Yahweh’ s gentle working; her desire for measures less tame and more... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 8:17

And, or, as this particle is rendered Jeremiah 2:32,Jeremiah 2:35, and elsewhere, yet, notwithstanding this dreadful prophecy concerning the unbelief and rejection of Israel, I will wait upon the Lord; I will refer myself and this matter unto God, casting my care upon him, and expecting the accomplishment of his promise in sending the Messiah, and in conferring upon me and all believing Israelites, all his mercies and blessings, to be procured by and through his blood and merits. That hideth... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 8:16-18

THE DUTY OF TEACHERS OF TRUTH IN TIMES OF NATIONAL PERVERSIONIsaiah 8:16-18In Hebrews 2:13 the commencement of Isaiah 8:18 is quoted as an utterance of the Messiah. This opens up questions concerning the New Testament quotations from the Old which cannot be fully discussed in this commentary. It may suffice to remark that the Spirit inspiring Isaiah was the Spirit of Christ, and that therefore Isaiah’s utterances generally may be regarded as the utterances of Christ; and further, this is... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 8:17

Isaiah 8:17 I. "I will wait upon the Lord." At all times we are to be like servants who are standing in the presence of their master, and who are ready, the very moment He shall give His orders, to go to any place, to do any work. If, when you should be waiting for what God may call you to do, you are so taken up with your own worldly concerns that you cannot hear, what then? Will that be waiting upon the Lord? And see what is the promise attached to this. "They that wait upon the Lord shall... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 8:1-22

Chapter 8So in chapter 8 he continues in this prediction of the Assyrian invasion.Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz ( Isaiah 8:1 ).And that is interpreted, it's a Hebrew name that means, or word that means, "Haste ye, haste ye to the spoil." Quite a name.And I took me a faithful witness to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah. And I went unto the prophetess [that is his wife]; and she conceived, and she bore... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 8:1-22

Isaiah 8:1 . Take thee a great roll. Lowth reads, a large mirror. The Chaldaic has scripturam claram, a fair writing, which might be on a polished plate; but the Versions read as the English. Isaiah 8:3 . I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived and bare a son. There is much variation here among the critics. But the child’s name, Maher-shalal-hash-baz, that is, to hasten to the spoil, to take quickly the prey, designates the king of Assyria. The whole is a vision, for Isaiah had... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 8:17

Isaiah 8:17And I will wait upon the LordWaiting upon the LordIn the practice of this becoming resolution, Jehovah is the object of--1.Intense desire. 2. Diligent attention. 3. Earnest expectation. 4. Constant dependence. In this all-important exercise, humility and hope, patience and perseverance, are happily combined with an agreeable serenity of mind, which stands in direct opposition to turbulence of spirit and uneasy emotions of soul. It cheeks every opposite passion, and preserves the mind... read more
