イザヤ書 50:1-3 JCB

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 50:1

CONTENTS Notwithstanding certain parts, here and there, in this Chapter, which may, at the first glance, appear to have an historical allusion to Babylon and the captivity: yet the great and evident point in the whole hath reference to the Lord Jesus Christ. His person, offices, and character, are strongly marked. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 50:1-3

The Prophet Hosea whose ministry was not many years before that of Isaiah hath made use of the same figure of the married state, to represent the Mediator's union with his people; and here the Prophet Isaiah adopts the same method. It is indeed, a very striking figure, and the Lord Jesus himself seems to delight in it. See Hosea 2:0 ; Jeremiah 3:14-15 ; Matthew 22:2 . It may serve to teach us some sweet and precious things. By the assumption of our nature the Lord Jesus hath shown, that the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 50:1

Away. Such a one could not be received again, if she had taken another husband, Deuteronomy xxiv. 3. Some explain this of the captives. But God restored them to favour. It seems rather to relate to the reprobation (Calmet) of the synagogue, which will never again become the true Church, (Haydock) though many of Israel will be converted, Romans xi. 25. --- Sold you, as a father might do, Exodus xxi. 1., and Matthew xviii. 15. St. Ambrose (Tob.[Tobias?] viii.) inveighs against such cruel... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 50:2

Hear. My spouse had gone after other lovers. The people refused to hear the prophets; and the priests were become as corrupt as the rest, when the city was taken by the Chaldeans and by the Romans. (Calmet) --- Sea. Babylon, chap. xxi. (Haydock) --- I could work the same miracles, as I did when Israel came out of Egypt. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 50:1-3

1-3 Those who have professed to be people of God, and seem to be dealt severely with, are apt to complain, as if God had been hard with them. Here is an answer for such murmurings; God never deprived any of their advantages, except for their sins. The Jews were sent into Babylon for their idolatry, a sin which broke the covenant; and they were at last rejected for crucifying the Lord of glory. God called on them to leave their sins, and prevent their own ruin. Last of all, the Son came to his... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 50:1-11

The Defection of Israel Atoned for by the Servant of Jehovah. The opening of this chapter continues the picture of the Lord and His Church, represented by Zion, His bride, whom He seeks with the faithfulness of His eternal love. v. 1. Thus saith the Lord, in addressing the Jewish nation in general, all members of which were presumably members also of the Lord's Church, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, the reference being to the document which the Jewish Law provided for,... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 50:1-11

II.—THE SECOND DISCOURSEThe Connection between the Guilt of Israel and the Suffering of the Servant, and the Deliverance from Guilt by Faith in the LatterIsaiah 50:0With reference to Isaiah 49:14 the Prophet inquires: Where is Zion’s writing of divorcement? Zion is not repudiated, but only punished, because when its Lord came it did not receive Him. But that is the connection between the guilt of Israel and the sufferings of the Servant, who willingly takes them on Himself because He is strong... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 50:1-11

Help for Those Who Trust in Him Isaiah 50:1-11 It is impossible for God to put away the soul that clings to Him in penitence and faith. Heaven and earth may be searched, but no bill of divorce can be found. See Deuteronomy 24:1 . And He sends His great servant, our Lord, of whom this chapter is full, to deliver and assure our trembling faith. Notice the difference in Isaiah 50:4 , between the Authorized Version and the Revised Version which reads, Jehovah hath given me the tongue of them... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 50:1-11

Proceeding, Jehovah challenges the people to prove their assertion that they have been forsaken by producing the writing in which God has divorced His people, and declares to them that the reason of their separation was their sin, but that although Jehovah found no man, He Himself is determined on deliverance. We now come to the answer of the Servant to the call of Jehovah. This is, first of all, a declaration of consecration to the pathway of suffering (verses Isa 50:4-9 ). Taught of God, He... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 50:1-3

Is There No One To Answer When Yahweh Has The Power and the Will To Deliver? (Isaiah 50:1-3 ). Yahweh now rebukes His people. He points out that their failure to enjoy His blessings cannot be laid at His door. He has not turned away from them and divorced them. He has not sold them off as a creditor sells off his children. Their present position and condition is entirely due to their own fault. Indeed His power is not diminished at all. He is still powerful enough to dry up the sea with a... read more
