The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:6-21

Retribution and its results. In this noble prophetic passage, as charged with poetic grandeur as it is full of religious zeal, we have our thought directed to— I. Two HEINOUS SINS WHICH BELONG TO EVERY AGE AND CLASS . They are these: 1. Disobedience . The divination to which reference is made ( Isaiah 2:6 ) is expressly prohibited in the Law ( Deuteronomy 18:10-12 ); alliance with strangers ( Isaiah 2:6 ) is also forbidden ( Exodus 34:12 ; Dent; Exodus... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:7

Full of silver and gold . The results of the commercial activity—not evil things in themselves, but probably acquired by sharp dealing, and leading to undue softness and luxury. The Law had given a warning against "greatly multiplying silver and gold" ( Deuteronomy 17:17 ). For the fact of the vast abundance of the precious metals in Judaea at this time, see 2 Kings 14:16 ; 2 Kings 20:13 ; 2 Chronicles 32:27 ; and compare Sennacherib's inscription on the Taylor Cylinder. Full of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:2

In the last days - הימים באחרית be'achărı̂yth hāyâmı̂ym. In the “after” days; in the “futurity” of days; that is, in the time to come. This is an expression that often occurs in the Old Testament. It does not of itself refer to any “particular” period, and especially not, as our translation would seem to indicate, to the end of the world. The expression properly denotes “only future time” in general. But the prophets were accustomed to concentrate all their hopes on the coming of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:3

And many people shall go - This denotes a prevalent “desire” to turn to the true God, and embrace the true religion. It is remarkable that it speaks of an inclination among them to “seek” God, as if they were satisfied of the folly and danger of their ways, and felt the necessity of obtaining a better religion. In many cases this has occurred. Thus, in modern times, the people of the Sandwich Islands threw away their gods and remained without any religion, as if waiting for the message of life.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:4

And he shall judge - Or he shall exercise the office of a judge, or umpire. This “literally” refers to the God of Jacob Isaiah 2:3, though it is clear that the meaning is, that he will do it by the Messiah, or under his reign. One office of a judge is to decide controversies; to put an end to litigations, and thus to promote peace. The connection shows that this is the meaning here. Nations that are contending shall be brought to peace by the influence of the reign of the Messiah, and shall... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:5

O house of Jacob - This is a direct address, or exhortation, of the prophet to the Jews. It is made in view of the fact that God had gracious purposes toward them. He intended to distinguish them by making them the source of blessings to all nations. As this was to be their high destiny, he exhorts them to devote themselves to him, and to live to his honor. The word “house” here means the “family, or nation.” The phrase is applied to the Jews because their tribes were descended from the twelve... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:6

Therefore - The prophet proceeds in this and the following verses, to state the reasons of their calamities, and of the judgments that had come upon them. Those judgments he traces to the crimes which he enumerates - crimes growing chiefly out of great commercial prosperity, producing pride, luxury, and idolatry.Thou hast forsaken - The address is changed from the exhortation to the house of Jacob Isaiah 2:5 to God, as is frequently the case in the writings of Isaiah. It indicates a state where... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:7

Their land also is full of silver and gold - This “gold” was brought chiefly from Ophir. Solomon imported vast quantities of silver and gold from foreign places; 2Ch 8:18; 2 Chronicles 9:10; 1 Chronicles 29:4; compare Job 28:16; 1 Kings 10:21, 1Ki 10:27; 2 Chronicles 9:20. ‘And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones.’ ‘It was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.’ From these expressions we see the force of the language of Isaiah - ‘their land is full,’ etc. This accumulation... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 2:2

Isaiah 2:2. And Or rather, now, it shall come to pass in the last days The times of the Messiah, which are always spoken of by the prophets as the last days, because they are the last times and state of the church, Christ’s institutions being to continue to the end of the world. See Joel 2:28, compared with Acts 2:17; Micah 4:1, compared with Hebrews 1:1; 1 Peter 1:20. The Jews, it must be observed, divided the times or succession of the world into three ages or periods: the first,... read more

Isaiah 2:3. And many people shall go Shall not only have some weak desires of going, but shall take pains, and actually go; and say, Come, &c. Yea, such shall be their zeal, that they shall not only go themselves, but shall persuade and press others to go with them. And we will walk in his paths Thus they show the truth of their conversion, by their hearty desire to be instructed in the way of worshipping and serving God acceptably, and by their firm purpose of practising the... read more
