以赛亚书 40:25 CUVS

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 40:12-31

Isaiah 40:12-Obadiah : . An Expansion of the Text Suggested in Isaiah 40:6-Ruth : . Isaiah 40:12-Esther : . The Majesty of God, in Whose Eyes the World is Insignificant.— God is the Creator, disposing of earth and heaven as very small things. No adviser instructed Him. The nations in His sight are like the drop hanging from the bucket, or the dust on the scale, too small to count in the bulk. The forests of Lebanon and the many wild beasts that range them would not provide fuel and victims... read more

He repeateth what he said Isaiah 40:18, that he might oblige them to the more serious and frequent consideration of the absurdity of the idolatry. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 40:1-31

Chapter 40But he's talking about a whole new message of God for the people as we get into the new covenant of God. And so it is appropriate that this new section of Isaiah begins with the word of the Lord declaring,Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all of her sins ( Isaiah 40:1-2 ).So the day of God's forgiveness,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 40:1-31

Isaiah 40:1 . Comfort ye, comfort ye my people. What a sweet voice is this to the church, after all her long afflictions. The words are doubled, to designate the fulness of comfort in the pardon of sin, testified by remission of punishment. Isaiah 40:2 . She hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. The later rabbins say here, that the Babylonian captivity, and the Roman dispersion, were the double punishment of Zion’s sins. The words are variously expounded. (1) ... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 40:12-28

Isaiah 40:12-28Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand?--The grandeur of GodThe prophet’s notions of God are diffused through all the verses of the text. The prophet’s design in describing the Deity with so much magnificence is to discountenance idolatry, of which there are two sorts. 1. Religious idolatry, which consists in rendering that religious worship to a creature which is due to none but God. 2. Moral idolatry, which consists in distrusting the promises of God in... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 40:25-26

25, 26. To whom… shall I be equal As compared with miserable idols? The prophet calls for answer. To whom, of all they know, will they now compare the great Jehovah? Saith the Holy One A new epithet, perhaps a new attribute, occurs here. Holiness also exalts Jehovah. Job 15:18. He bids them look into starry space, and challenges creator-ship above his own. There is no reply to that challenge from idol worshippers. No one who, besides creating, can know, command, and dispose of all... read more
