Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 40:15
The nations, all the nations of the world, are as a drop of a bucket, compared with all the water in the bucket, wherein are innumerable drops: such are they if compared with God. And are counted by him, and in comparison of him, as the small dust of the balance; which accidentally cleaves to the balance, but makes no alteration in the weight. The isles; those numerous and vast countries to which they went from Judea by sea, which are commonly called isles, as hath been oft observed. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 40:1-31
Chapter 40But he's talking about a whole new message of God for the people as we get into the new covenant of God. And so it is appropriate that this new section of Isaiah begins with the word of the Lord declaring,Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all of her sins ( Isaiah 40:1-2 ).So the day of God's forgiveness,... read more

The words are doubled, to designate the fulness of comfort in the pardon of sin, testified by remission of punishment. Isaiah 40:2 . She hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. The later rabbins say here, that the Babylonian captivity, and the Roman dispersion, were the double punishment of Zion’s sins. The words are variously expounded. (1) ... read more

Isaiah 40:12-28Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand?--The grandeur of GodThe prophet’s notions of God are diffused through all the verses of the text. The prophet’s design in describing the Deity with so much magnificence is to discountenance idolatry, of which there are two sorts. 1. Religious idolatry, which consists in rendering that religious worship to a creature which is due to none but God. 2. Moral idolatry, which consists in distrusting the promises of God in... read more

That... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 40:13
Who did God either need or take to advise him in any of his works, either of creation or the government of the world? were they not all the effects of his own sole wisdom? Therefore though all the nations of the world contrive and conspire against him, and against this work of his, as indeed they will do, yet his own counsel shall confound all their devices, and carry on his work in spite of them. read more
