イザヤ書 33:13-14 JCB

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 33:1-24

This chapter celebrates a great victory, and is prophetic of the method of the final triumph. In the first thirteen verses we have the prophet's appeal, in which there are two movements. In the first he describes the foe, lifts his cry to God, and declares his confidence in God. In the second he makes his appeal, describes the need, and announces the divine answer. Following this is a graphic description of the effect produced by the consciousness of the presence of God as of a fire. The... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 33:1-24

Chapter 33 The Sixth Woe Against Those Who Despoil Others and Who Are Treacherous. The sixth woe seems in context to be directed against Assyria for some treacherous act. We can compare and contrast how the previous list of woes ended with a ‘ho’ (or ‘woe’) towards Assyria (Isaiah 10:5), but now Assyria has gone beyond the pale and receives ‘woe’ instead. The treacherous act may be seen as occurring in 2 Kings 18:13-18 when Sennacherib accepted peace terms and tribute from Hezekiah but then... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 33:13-16

God Is So Holy, Who Can Know Him? (Isaiah 33:13-16 ). What Yahweh has done in defeating Assyria and delivering Jerusalem leads on to His depiction of His holiness and power. He is above all and will bring about His will and none but those whom He has chosen and made fit may dwell with Him in His glory, amid the everlasting burnings. Analysis. a Hear, you who are far off, what I have done, and you who are near acknowledge my might (Isaiah 33:13). b The sinners in Zion are afraid, trembling... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 33:1-24

Isaiah 33. Denunciation of the Treacherous Foe. Zion’ s Extremity, Yahweh’ s Opportunity.— If Isaiah’ s, the date is apparently 701, and the situation presupposed is Sennacherib’ s demand for unconditional surrender of Jerusalem after he had received an enormous tribute from Hezekiah. This breach of faith would cause the weeping of the ambassadors ( Isaiah 33:7). But the chapter is now usually regarded as post-exilic. The parallels in language are with late Psalms, and the list of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 33:14

The sinners in Zion are afraid: this is spoken, not of the Assyrians, as some would have it, but of the Jews, as appears both from the words themselves, and from the following verses. The prophet having foretold the deliverance of God’s people, and the destruction of their enemies, Isaiah 33:10-12, for the greater illustration of that wonderful mercy, here returns to the description, and gives a lively representation of the dismal and frightful condition in which the Jews, especially such of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:14-15

Isaiah 33:14-15 (with 1 John 4:16 ) I. The world's question. I need only remind you how frequently in the Old Testament the emblem of fire is employed to express the Divine nature. (1) In many places the prominent idea in the emblem is that of the purity of the Divine nature, which flashes and flames as against all that is evil and sinful. (2) The fire, which is the destructive fire of perfect purity, is also the fire that quickens and blesses. "God is love," says John; and love is fire, too.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-24

Chapter 33Now chapter 33 begins with a warning to the Assyrians.Woe unto thee that spoilest, and you have not been spoiled; you that deal treacherously, you've not been dealt treacherously with! ( Isaiah 33:1 )The Assyrians were extremely treacherous people. They often would mutilate their prisoners of war. Physically mutilate them. They would pull out their tongues. They would gouge out their eyes. They would physically mutilate their prisoners of war. They were extremely cruel. History... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 33:1-24

Isaiah 33:1 . Woe to thee, thou spoiler, who hast not been spoiled; And thou plunderer, who hast not been plundered. When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; When thou art weary of plundering, they shall plunder thee. LOWTH. Here is a very remarkable sentence against Assyria, in four striking forms. The apostrophes are full of beauty, and the figures most impressive. the connection between the crimes and the punishment being of long continuance, the sentence is against the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 33:14-15

Isaiah 33:14-15The sinners in Zion are afraid“The sinners in Zion”What a contradiction in terms! what a shock to the fancy! Zion! fair Zion, a dewdrop, a glittering star, a garden of beauty, a sweet flower, porcelain without a flaw, honey without wax--Zion! Then, “sinners in Zion”--sinners out of place; they spoil the situation; they are an evil blot in the fair landscape.Sinners in the wilderness, sinners in polluted cities, sinners in hell--there you have a kind of music that has an accord... read more
