以赛亚书 11:6-7 CUVS

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-16

JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA The verses intervening since the last lesson apply to Israel, and are comparatively unimportant; but at Isaiah 10:5 a discourse begins concerning Assyria, running continuously to the close of chapter twelve. Assyria, an ally of Judah, is to become her enemy, but the chastisement she is to inflict on Judah is in the divine purpose, up to a certain point (Isaiah 10:5-6 ). Assyria’s motive is not the divine glory, however, but her own aggrandizement, which leads her to go... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 11:1-16

Prophecy and History Isaiah 11:0 We should connect the opening of the eleventh chapter with the close of the tenth in order to feel the full force of the contrast. There we read: "And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one." Then comes the prophecy that "there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots" ( Isa 11:1 ). The cedar of Lebanon was the symbol of Assyrian power. It was a poor symbol.... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 11:6

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the falling together; and a little child shall lead them." Isa 11:6 Some have seen in these words a promise that the animal world should in some way share in the blessings of redemption. It has been supposed by them that rapine and cruelty were signs of an imperfect order, and that when man is put right as to his spirit and action... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 11:6-9

Spiritual blessings are promised, under figurative expressions. Such are the blessed effects introduced into the circumstances of mankind by the gospel of Christ, that, like the beasts of the forest tamed and brought under order, the passions of our fallen nature shall be regulated and restrained. A little child shall lead them; that is, the Lord's people shall be so much under the blessed influence of grace in the heart, that they will need nothing of human learning to guide them. And was not... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:6

Wolf. Some explain this of the Millennium. (apud St. Jerome) (Lactantius vii. 24.) --- But the more intelligent understand, that the fiercest nations shall embrace the gospel, and kings obey the pastors of the Church. (Calmet) --- Lead. Or "drive," as the word is used by Festus. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:1-9

1-9 The Messiah is called a Rod, and a Branch. The words signify a small, tender product; a shoot, such as is easily broken off. He comes forth out of the stem of Jesse; when the royal family was cut down and almost levelled with the ground, it would sprout again. The house of David was brought very low at the time of Christ's birth. The Messiah thus gave early notice that his kingdom was not of this world. But the Holy Spirit, in all his gifts and graces, shall rest and abide upon him; he... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 11:1-9

The Messiah, The Branch out of the Stem Of Jesse v. 1. And there shall come forth a Rod, a fresh shoot or twig, out of the stem of Jesse, out of the dead stock, the stump, of the former proud tree of the house of David, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots, Zechariah 3:8; Zechariah 4:12; Jeremiah 23:5; Jeremiah 33:15, the root-stock being all that was left of the former grandeur of David's house, the renewal of his family by this singular Scion would indeed be a miracle; v. 2. and the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 11:1-10

Isaiah THE SUCKER FROM THE FELLED OAK Isa_11:1 - Isa_11:10 . The hopeless fall of Assyria is magnificently pictured in the close of Isa_10:1 - Isa_10:16 , as the felling of the cedars of Lebanon by the axe swung by Jehovah’s own hand. A cedar once cut down puts out no new shoots; and so the Assyrian power, when it falls, will fall for ever. The metaphor is carried on with surpassing beauty in the first part of this prophecy, which contrasts the indestructible vitality of the Davidic... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-9

the Kingdom of the Messiah Isaiah 10:33-34 ; Isaiah 11:1-9 The advance of the Assyrian along the great north road is graphically described. It was marked by raided villages and towns. The night sky was lurid with flames. But his collapse would be as sudden and irretrievable as the felling of forest timber. As the one chapter closes we can almost hear the crash of the Assyrian tree to the ground, and there is no sprout from his roots. But in the next the prophet descries a fair and healthy... read more
