イザヤ書 29:1-3 JCB

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 29:1-8

1-8 Ariel may signify the altar of burnt-offerings. Let Jerusalem know that outward religious services will not make men free from judgements. Hypocrites never can please God, nor make their peace with him. God had often and long, by a host of angels, encamped round about Jerusalem for protection and deliverance; but now he fought against it. Proud looks and proud language shall be brought down by humbling providences. The destruction of Jerusalem's enemies is foretold. The army of Sennacherib... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 29:1-12

The Woe Upon Ariel v. 1. Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, a name signifying either "lion of God" or, more likely, "mountain of God," the city where David dwelt! which is still distinguished by that fact. Add ye year to year, another year to the present year; let them kill sacrifices, so that another cycle of festivals will be completed, that is, after the end of the present year another full church-year would elapse, but then the catastrophe would surely strike Jerusalem. v. 2. Yet I will distress... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 29:1-24

This is the first of a series of declamations concerning the chosen people, and sets forth the purpose of Jehovah in judgment. The message opens with a description of the judgment (verses Isa 29:1-4 ), and declares how suddenly all the foes of Jerusalem shall be discomfited (verses Isa 29:5-8 ). The prophet then breaks out into a mourning description of the condition of the people. They are blind, and unable to understand the messages delivered (verses Isa 29:9-12 ). This blindness he declares... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 29:1-9

JERUSALEM’S IMPENDING HUMILIATION AND DELIVERANCE‘Woe to Ariel,’ etc. Isaiah 29:1-1 Samuel : I. The prophet sets forth in Isaiah 29:1-Exodus : the theme of his discourse.—For he announces to Ariel, i.e. to the city of God, Jerusalem, that he will cause her after a time great distress, notwithstanding that she is Ariel, i.e. lion of God; that she however, in this distress will prove herself to be Ariel, i.e. the hearth of God. This thought is further developed in what follows. The Lord causes... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 29:1-2

‘Woe to Ariel, Ariel, The city where David encamped. Add for yourselves year to year. Let the feasts come round. Then will I distress Ariel, And there will be mourning and lamentation, And she will be to me as Ariel.’ Having declared His woe on Israel (Isaiah 28:1) God now declares His woe on Jerusalem under the name of Ariel. It is to be distressed with mourning and lamentation because it has become superficial in its response to Yahweh. It is to be besieged. This occurred around 701 BC at the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 29:3-4

‘And I will encamp against you in a circle (literally ‘like a circular object’ surrounding the city), And will lay siege against you with a fort, And I will raise siegeworks against you. And you will be brought down, And you will speak from the ground, And your speech will be low out of the dust, And your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, And your speech will whisper (chirp), out of the dust.’ There is a direct contrast between David encamping in the city in... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 29:1-8

Isaiah 29. The Doom of Ariel.— Possibly Isaiah 29:7 f., with most of Isaiah 29:5, is an insertion to turn a prophecy of judgment into one of mercy. Isaiah 29:1-Joshua : is then a prophecy of ruin to Jerusalem, “ visited” meaning “ visited in judgment ( Isaiah 24:18).” Isaiah 29:16-Jeremiah : also seems to be late. Woe is pronounced in Isaiah 29:15 on the promoters of the Egyptian alliance, who sought to conceal their plans from God, and we should expect the prophecy to continue with a... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 29:1

Woe to Ariel! this word signifies a strong lion, or the lion of God; and is used concerning lion-like men, as it is rendered, 1 Chronicles 11:22; and of God’s altar, as it is rendered, Ezekiel 43:15,Ezekiel 43:16, which seems to be thus called, because it devoured and consumed the sacrifices put upon it, as greedily and as irresistibly as the lion doth his prey. If the altar be here meant, it is put synecdochically for the temple, and the words may be rendered, Woe to Ariel, to Ariel of or in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 29:2

Yet, notwithstanding all your sacrifices, I will distress Ariel, by bringing and strengthening her enemies against her. It shall be unto me as Ariel: the sense is either, 1. I will treat her like a strong and fierce lion, which, the people among whom it is endeavour by nets, or pits, and all other ways, to take and to destroy; or, 2. I will make Ariel the city like Ariel the altar, filling it with sacrifices, even with men, whom I will slay in my anger; which act of God’s is called his... read more
