G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 65:1-25

In this chapter we have a graphic description of the working of the principle of discrimination, the sifting of the people by God. There is first a contrast between the false and the true. The rebellious people are described as those who, in spite of all Jehovah's patience, still persist in idolatrous and evil practices. Against these Jehovah is compelled to proceed in strict and severe judgment. Then follows a description of the remnant, the holy seed, those who are described as the servants... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 65:8-12

A Remnant Will Be Saved, But Large Numbers Must First Face Judgment (Isaiah 65:8-12 ). During his inaugural call (chapter 6) Isaiah had been warned that the people of Judah/Israel would go through refinement after refinement because of the depths of their sinfulness. God had warned him not to expect easy results. Few of His so-called people would be saved. But in the end, He had promised, there would be a stump remaining, a holy seed (Isaiah 6:13). Isaiah 65:8-10 ‘Thus says Yahweh, “As the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 65:8-12

Isaiah 65:8-2 Kings : . The Righteous shall Inherit the Land, but their Opponents shall be Slaughtered.— Yahweh says, “ Even as the vintagers say when they see a cluster with only a few sound grapes in it, ‘ Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it,’ so for the sake of those who are faithful to Me I will not utterly destroy My people. The righteous survivors shall possess the holy land. From Sharon (p. 28)— the maritime plain between Joppa and Carmel— to the valley of Achor— in the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 65:9

I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob; no seed beareth a proportion to the tree or plant that it produceth, but in comparison with that is very little; yet it is enough, through the virtue which the God of nature hath put into it, to preserve and uphold the species to which it doth relate. They are but a remnant (saith God) that shall be saved; see Romans 11:5; but a small number that shall come out of the captivity of Babylon: or, (which I rather choose) they will be but a few that shall... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 65:10

Sharon was a place of great fruitfulness for pastures. David’s herds were kept there, 1 Chronicles 27:29. It was become like a wilderness, Isaiah 33:9; God here promiseth that it should again be a place for the flocks. Jeremiah 31:27, God promiseth to sow again the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. The valley of Achor had its name from the stoning of Achan there, Joshua 7:26. It is thought to have been the first place the Jews set foot in when they had passed... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 65:1-25

Chapter 65Now God answers the prayer offered by the remnant of the people and He said,I am sought of them that asked not for me ( Isaiah 65:1 );Here's the remnant of the Jewish people calling to God. "If You've forsaken us, won't You remember us?" and all this. And God answers them and He says, "I am sought of them that asked not for Me."I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. I have spread out my hands all the day to a... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 65:1-25

Isaiah 65:4 . Which remain among the graves. The LXX add, dream. Perhaps Jude had this text in his eye, when he calls the wicked “filthy dreamers.” See Augustine’s city of God. Which eat swine’s flesh, forbidden by the law, Leviticus 11:26, as less healthy than beef and mutton, and tending to scrophulous disease, as stated by Dr. Buchan. Isaiah 65:10 . The valley of Achor. This valley was very fertile, a presentiment of what the earth shall be in the latter day. Another prophet... read more
