イザヤ書 59:6-7 JC

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 59:7

Their feet run to evil: this seems to be taken from Proverbs 1:16. See Poole "Proverbs 1:16". He had spoken of their hands, lips, and heart, &c. before, and now of their feet, to show that they were wholly set upon mischief. Their thoughts, i.e. their heart and mind, is set upon doing wrong and injury; they not only do evil, but do it deliberately. You have the wicked described by this kind of working of their thoughts, Psalms 64:6; they meditate on little or nothing else. Wasting and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 59:6

WEBS BUT NOT GARMENTSIsaiah 59:6. Their webs shall not become garmentsWhat a telling blow the prophet deals at the corruptions of his age! His illustration is homely, but, on that account, all the more forcible. The whole passage presents an appalling picture of the state of society,—powers perverted, &c. The two things always go together—the practice of wickedness, and recourse to vain excuses to palliate it. An evil course cannot long be pursued without some plea which justifies it to the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 59:1-21

Chapter 59Now in fifty-nine:Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither is his ear heavy, that it cannot hear ( Isaiah 59:1 ):"Lord, why aren't You hearing us when we fast? Why aren't You acknowledging it? Why aren't You recognizing it?" Now the Lord's saying, "Hey, look, there's nothing. I don't have any hearing problem. The Lord's hand is not short that He cannot save; neither is His ear heavy that He cannot hear." If you're not getting answers to prayer, it isn't... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 59:1-21

Isaiah 59:1 . Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save. The failure of your fast is not with the Lord; he sees, and he can hear. Neither is the fault in the promises announced by his prophets; for you have not obeyed their voice. Your hands are defiled with blood; the nation is loaded with all its sins, and all its unrelenting cruelty to the poor. Isaiah 59:3 . Your hands are defiled with blood. This expression is of great importance in determining the time of this... read more

Isaiah 59:1-9Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortenedIsaiah 57:1-21.and 59.In the former address, to the dead works on which the people founded their claim to redemption, there were set in contrast the virtues well-pleasing of God, and for which Jehovah promises redemption as a gracious reward; in this discourse, the sins which hinder the accomplishment of redemption are still more directly laid bare.

Isaiah 59:5-6They hatch cockatrice’ eggsWicked devicesI.THE DEVICES OF THY. WICKED. 1. Like eggs--productive. 2. Like cockatrice’ eggs--injurious. 3. Like spiders’ webs--frail, useless. II. THEIR EFFECT. 1. Upon others--mischief, death. 2. Upon themselves--disappointment, retribution. (J. Lyth, D. D.)The schemes of the ungodlyThe meaning seems to be that the persons spoken of brood over and bring to maturity projects of wickedness, whose effects are almost equally fatal to those who acquiesce... read more

Isaiah 59:6Their webs shall not become garmentsThe art of weaving The art of weaving is older than human history; figures drawn from it are found in the earliest literature of all nations.It is frequently employed in the Word of God to set forth the sublimest truths of life, and in the classical mythologies it occupies an even more important place. The three fates preside over the lives of men, and they practise the weaver’s art. Clothe holds the threads, Lachesis introduces the warp, and the... read more

Isaiah 59:7Their feet run to evilA picture of moral corruptionThis verse and the first part of the following have been interwoven by Paul, in Romans 3:15-17, into his description of universal moral corruption.The representation of life as a road, and of one’s mode of action as a manner of walking, is a common feature in gnomic compositions, where its terminology has been fully developed. From the beginning of verse 7, one may perceive that steadfast believers, during the exile, were persecuted... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 59:6

Isa 59:6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works [are] works of iniquity, and the act of violence [is] in their hands. Ver. 6. Their webs shall not become garments. ] "Garments" quasi gardments; one use of them being to guard our bodies from the injury of wind and weather. Wicked devices and false doctrines profit not those that are therein occupied. as Heb 13:9 In the day of God’s wrath, they will prove but as a coat of... read more

Isa 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction [are] in their paths. Ver. 7. Their feet run to evil, &c. ] They trot apace toward hell; they take long strides, as if they feared lest hell should be full before they come thither. And they make haste to shed innocent blood. ] This is taken from Proverbs 1:16 , and fitly applied by St Paul to the whole race of mankind, Rom 3:15 since by nature... read more
