Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:18

And your covenant with death - (see the note at Isaiah 28:15).Shall be disannulled - The word rendered ‘shall be disannulled,’ (וכפר vekupar from כפר kâphar), properly means “to cover, overlay;” then to pardon, forgive; then to make atonement, to expiate. It has the idea of blotting out, forgiving, and obliterating - because a writing in wax was obliterated or “covered” by passing the “stylus” over it. Hence, also, the idea of abolishing, or rendering nought, which is the idea here. “When the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:19

From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you - It shall not delay, or be hindered, or put back. As soon as the judgment is sent forth from God it shall come upon you.For morning by morning - Continually; without intermission. It shall be like floods and tempests that have no intermission; that are repeated every day, and continued every night, until everything is swept before them.And it shall be a vexation - It shall be an object of alarm, of agitation, of distress - זועה zevâ‛âh from... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:20

For the bed is shorter ... - This is evidently a proverbial saying, and means that they would find all their places of defense insufficient to secure them. They seek repose and security - as a man lies down to rest at night. But they find neither. His bed furnishes no rest; his scanty covering furnishes no security from the chills of the night. So it would be with those who sought protection in idols, in the promises of false prophets, and in the aid which might be obtained from Egypt. So it is... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:21

For the Lord shall rise up - To rise up is indicative of going forth to judgment, as when one rises from his seat to accomplish anything.As in mount Perazim - There is reference here, doubtless, to the event recorded in 2 Samuel 5:20-21, and 1 Chronicles 14:11, where David is said to have defeated the Philistines at Baal-Perazim. This place was near to the valley of Rephaim 2 Samuel 5:19, and not far from Jerusalem. The word ‘Perazim’ is from פרץ pârats, to tear, or break forth, as waters do... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:22

Now therefore - In view of the certain judgment which God will bring upon you.Be ye not mockers - This was the prevailing sin Isaiah 28:9-14, and on account of this sin in part the judgment of God was about to come upon the guilty nation.Lest your bands be made strong - Lest your confinement should be more severe and protracted. God would punish them according to their sins, and if they now ceased to mock and deride him it would greatly mitigate the severity of their punishment (compare Isaiah... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:16

Isaiah 28:16. Therefore, thus saith the Lord Because your refuges are vain and deceitful; therefore I will direct you to a better and surer refuge, which will never fail those that trust to it, which God hath prepared in Zion. But if you shall despise and reject that refuge, which I now offer to you all; if you will not believe, then know, that I will lay judgment to the line, &c., as it follows, Isaiah 28:17. Some think that in this famous prophecy, Behold I lay in Zion, &c.,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:17

Isaiah 28:17. Judgment also will I lay to the line, &c. I will execute just judgment, as it were by a line and plummet annexed to it; that is, with exactness and care. I will severely punish and utterly destroy all who reject that stone. For the line and plummet, or the plumb-line, was not only used in erecting buildings, but also in pulling them down; those parts of the building being thus marked out which were to be demolished. And the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:18-19

Isaiah 28:18-19. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled Made void, or of none effect. Ye shall be trodden down Namely, by the overflowing scourge, which you flattered yourselves should not come unto you. From the time that it goeth forth Namely, from me into the land, it shall assuredly, and with the first, seize upon and carry away you scoffers. Morning by mornin g it shall pass over, &c. It shall not only come to you, but it shall abide upon you; and when it hath... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:20-21

Isaiah 28:20-21. For the bed is shorter, &c. For those lying refuges, to which you trust, will not be able to give you that protection which you expect from them, no more than a man can stretch himself upon a bed that is too short for him. For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim Where he fought against the Philistines, 2 Samuel 5:20. He shall be wroth as in Gibeon Where he fought against the Canaanites, (Joshua 10:10, &c.,) and afterward against the Philistines, 1... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:22

Isaiah 28:22. Now therefore be not mockers For your own sakes do not make a mock of God’s word and threatenings, as you use to do. Lest your bands be made strong Lest thereby you make the judgments of God, which are often compared to bands, more sure and unavoidable, and more severe and terrible, as bands are when they are tied faster and more strongly upon a prisoner. For I have heard from the Lord a consumption, &c. God hath assured me that he will utterly root out the people of... read more
