Isaiah 28:19 ASV

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-29

Truth the only Refuge Isaiah 28:14-29 In the beginning of Hezekiah’s reign the Jewish leaders had made an alliance with Assyria, on whom they relied to protect them against any and all foes. But the prophet told them plainly that they would be disappointed, and that when the Assyrian scourge passed through the land toward Egypt, it would involve them also in disaster, Isaiah 28:18 . Then he broke out with this sublime description of the only foundation of security that could never fail. The... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:1-29

Here begins the third and last circle of the first division of the book. It consists of a series of prophecies concerning the chosen people and the world. In this chapter we have a graphic revelation of the difficulties with which Isaiah had to contend, and of his unswerving loyalty to truth. It falls into four parts. In the first (verses Isa 28:1-6 ), the prophet announces the judgment on Ephraim. His glorious beauty is to be consumed before the oncoming scourge. This judgment, however, is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:14-22

Isaiah Sternly Warns About The Threatening Future If They Will Not Look to God’s Sure Foundation (Isaiah 28:14-22 ). The leaders of Judah reply that they are not afraid of his threats because they have got it all worked out. They have an agreement with Egypt to come to their assistance, while meanwhile keeping the king of Assyria happy with deceitful words. Isaiah points out that that is to have a covenant with death and the grave (Sheol). What they should rather be doing is looking to the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:7-22

Isaiah 28:7-Song of Solomon : . Jerusalem also is Threatened with Destruction.— But Jerusalem like Ephraim reels with intoxication, the priests and prophets especially. The prophet is not steady in his vision, the priest when pronouncing judgment has his faculties clouded by wine. Their revels are carried to disgusting excees. The scorners mock Isaiah: Is he talking to children that he goes over his lesson again and again with such wearisome monotony? Well, if the prophet’ s message will not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 28:19

From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you; as soon as this overflowing scourge or judgment shall go forth from me into the land, it shall assuredly, and with the first, take or seize upon you scoffers, or carry you away, which agrees well, both with the Hebrew word, which is frequently taken in that sense, and with the metaphor of a flood, which is here used. Morning by morning it shall pass over; it shall not only come to you, contrary to your presumption, Isaiah 28:15, but it shall... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-29

Chapter 28Chapter 28. Now the prophet turns to the local present issues. He is now... he's gone off down the road to the end of things. Now he comes back and he begins to speak of the Northern Kingdom, the major tribe was Ephraim there in the Northern Kingdom. And so the nation of Israel is addressed as Ephraim, its major tribe.Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:1-29

Isaiah 28:1 . The crown of pride. Sebaste, the ancient Samaria, is situated on a long mount of an oval figure, having first a fruitful valley, and then a circle of hills running round about it. Maundrell, p. 58. The city is beautifully situated on the top of a round hill, surrounded immediately by a rich valley, and a circle of other hills beyond it, which first suggested the idea of a chaplet, or wreath of flowers, worn on their heads on occasions of festivity. This expressed “a crown of... read more

Isaiah 28:14-22Hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful menIsaiah’s responseThe prophet replies that when the storm does sweep over the land, as it assuredly will, these “refuges of lies” will prove no shelter to their builders; they have been tried by the plummet of honesty and righteousness and found to be so out of line that they must come down: but meanwhile, nay, from of old, Jehovah has Himself founded a really serviceable house for His people, namely, the ancient constitution and polity of... read more

Isa 28:19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only [to] understand the report. Ver. 19. From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you. ] This was opposed to their fond conceit of impunity, or at least immunity, for a long season; Isa 28:15 the most secure are soonest surprised.
