Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 1:1-31

Isaiah Outlines The Message He Is Bringing (Isaiah 1:1-31 ). This introductory message is also presented in balanced chiastic form. a He calls on Creation to be aware of God’s judgment on His people (Isaiah 1:2-3). b The description of Judah and Jerusalem’s present state, they are almost like Sodom and Gomorrah (Isaiah 1:3-9) c What God has against His people is that their outward religion is not matched by inner response (Isaiah 1:10-15). c The inner response that God requires is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 1:21-26

God’s Purpose For The Future (Isaiah 1:21-26 ). The call having been made to Israel for response, God describes their present state and guarantees that in the end He will bring their transformation about. a How is the faithful city, become a prostitute? She who was full of discerning judgment. Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers (Isaiah 1:21). b Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 1:24-26

The Great Clean Up (Isaiah 1:24-26 ). God now speaks. Without His action there would be no hope and no future, but He declares His intention to act in sovereign power and bring about that deliverance. Finally the future is bright for those who will receive it because the future is God’s, but only for those who will receive it. We should note that it is not a blanket promise. Not all Israel were the true Israel (Romans 9:6). Those who were unwilling to receive His offer of mercy would be... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 1:21-28

Isaiah 1:21-Ezekiel : . A complete poem, of uncertain date, in elegiac rhythm. How has the city once loyal to Yahweh become faithless to her husband! Her silver has become dross, her wine adulterated. Her princes rebel against Yahweh; the thieves bribe them to secure acquittal, but the widow and orphan cannot even get their case before the courts. So Yahweh will take vengeance and purify the city in the furnace of trial, smelting out all the lead alloy ( mg.) . Then He will restore righteous... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 1:25

I will turn my hand upon thee, to chastise thee again, which God threatened that he would not do, Isaiah 1:5, but now promiseth that he will do it, not in fury, or so as utterly to destroy them, but in mercy, and with moderation, so as to purge them, as it here follows. And purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin; I will purge out of thee and destroy those wicked men that are incorrigible and infectious to others; and for those of you that are curable, I will by my word, and by... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 1:26

I will restore thy judges, I will give thee such princes and magistrates, as at the first, Heb. as thou hadst in the beginning; either, 1. Of thy commonwealth, such as Moses and Joshua; or, 2. Of thy kingdom, such as David. Thy counsellors; thy princes shall have and hearken to wise and faithful counsellors, which is a singular blessing to a prince and people.

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 1:25

DISCOURSE: 860GOD PURIFYING HIS PEOPLEIsaiah 1:25. I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin.IN the Holy Scriptures, judgment is often denounced, and mercy promised, with such peculiar force and emphasis, as might lead one to imagine that it was almost a matter of indifference to Jehovah which of the two were called into exercise towards his offending creatures. But we know that “judgment is his strange act,” to which he is utterly averse [Note:... read more
