The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 10:5-34

The Burden of Assyria Isa 10:5 to Isa 12:6 Anew section begins at Isaiah 10:5 , and goes to Isaiah 12:6 . The section deals with Assyria, and might be called in some sense "The Burden of Assyria." It is most difficult to understand. All annotators have been more or less perplexed by it. The translators have put in words with which to help themselves over literal difficulties. Sometimes Assyria seems to be speaking as the prophet himself, and sometimes the prophet seems to be speaking as if... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 10:20-23

Reader! how blessed is it to discover, here and there, through all the sacred writings, the outlines of Jesus? It hath the same effect as to a thirsty traveler going over some hot burning sands on a sultry day, when he finds a cooling stream; so when to the spiritual Reader quest of Jesus; going over the account of Israel's sins, and their enemies triumphs in consequence, their salvation by Jesus is brought into the view, oh! how doth it refresh the soul! How very blessed to this amount is this... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:22

Converted. This was partly verified in the children of Israel who remained after the devastations of the Assyrians, in the time of king Ezechias: and partly in the conversion of a remnant of the Jews to the faith of Christ. (Challoner) --- 4 Kings xviii. 3., and Romans ix. 27. The apostle follows the Septuagint, (Calmet) "and if the people of Israel be." --- Converted. Septuagint, "saved, for perfecting the word and abridging in justice. Because God, the Lord of hosts, will make an abridged... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:20-34

20-34 By our afflictions we may learn not to make creatures our confidence. Those only can with comfort stay upon God, who return to him in truth, not in pretence and profession only. God will justly bring this wasting away on a provoking people, but will graciously set bounds to it. It is against the mind and will of God, that his people, whatever happens, should give way to fear. God's anger against his people is but for a moment; and when that is turned from us, we need not fear the fury of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 10:20-34

The Redemption of the Remnant of Israel v. 20. And it shall come to pass in that day, the time to which the entire Old Testament looked forward, the Messianic period, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, the true spiritual Israel, the people of God, whom He has chosen from among the nations, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them, placing their confidence in Assyria, the nation to whom the kings of both Israel and Judah turned time and again, ... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:5-34

This is a prophecy of judgment on Assyria, and is full of interest. Assyria is the power which Jehovah is using for the punishment of His people, but because it fails to understand its true relation to God, it, in turn, will be judged. The prophet first indicates this contrast of intention. Jehovah's intention is that the Assyrian shall be a rod in His hand. The Assyrian intention is to destroy the people of God. He then declares the divine purpose. The Lord will accomplish His work on... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:5-34

Chapter Isaiah 10:5-34 Assyria Will Advance And Conquer As A Judgment On God’s People But Will Finally Be Brought Down, For Final Deliverance Is Certain. In the remainder of this chapter is described God’s call on Assyria to fulfil His will and act as His punitive rod, and Assyria’s subsequent arrogance in doing so which will bring judgment rebounding on themselves. This is followed by assurance of final deliverance for God’s people. But before that they must experience the Assyrian advance, read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:20-23

3). Afterwards A Remnant of Israel the Northern Kingdom Will Turn Back to God (Isaiah 10:20-23 ). At this time Isaiah’s vision is fixed on Assyria, the mighty power of the day. He sees everything in terms of Assyria as the ‘now’, and what follows as being ‘afterwards’. It is only later that he becomes aware of the shadow of the power of Babylon. Thus what is described here is the ‘afterwards’, without any indication of how long afterwards. It is possibly spoken in the light of the destruction... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:5-34

Isaiah 10:5-Nahum : . Assyria’ s Boastfulness and Its Punishment.— This prophecy, so far as it is Isaiah’ s, must be later than the capture of Carchemish in 717 and before Sennacherib’ s invasion in 701. Narrower limits cannot be fixed. Non-Isaianic material appears to be present in it. Isaiah 10:5-Psalms : . Assyria is Yahweh’ s rod to smite any nation that has aroused His anger, but, inspired by lust of blood, plans to exterminate many peoples, and boastfully thinks to destroy Jerusalem... read more
