Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 2:5-11

2. THE FALSE EMINENT THINGS AND THEIR ABASEMENT IN GENERALIsaiah 2:5-115          O house of Jacob, come ye,And let us walk in the light of the Lord.6     Therefore thou hast6 forsaken thy people the house of Jacob,Because they be replenished7from the East,And are soothsayers like the Philistines,And they 8 9please themselves in the children of strangers.7     Their land also is full of silver and gold,Neither is there any end of their treasures;Their land is also full of horses,Neither is... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-11

a Vision of World Peace Isaiah 2:1-11 This and the four following chapters must be classed together as a distinct portion of this book, belonging to the earliest years of Isaiah’s ministry. Their date is 735 b.c.; about the time of the accession of Ahaz to the throne. Isaiah 2:2-4 are evidently an ancient prophecy by some unknown seer, for Micah also quotes it. This section presents a fair vision of the future, when the beloved city must become the center of the religious life of the world,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:1-22

Following this broad statement of the case between Jehovah and His people, we have the prophet's great appeal to them. The first part constitutes a vision of the latter days, that condition toward which judgment is to proceed. The Lord's house is established at the center of the national life. His law proceeds from Zion to the peoples of the earth. and the issue is peace. The prevalent conditions are seen in the light of that latter day, and the prophet appeals to the people to walk in that... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-22

Christ in Isaiah Isaiah 2:1-22 INTRODUCTORY WORDS When Isaiah saw Christ in this chapter he saw Him in His Second Advent glory. Peter, in the Spirit, wrote of how the Prophets foretold the sufferings of Christ, and the glory which should follow. In this 2d chapter, Isaiah is given a foregleam of that wonderful hour which yet awaits the earth. He speaks of Christ upon the earth, but not upon the earth to suffer and to die, but the rather to rule and to reign. Let us examine some of the things... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:6-9

His Recognition Before Yahweh Of Israel’s Position (Isaiah 2:6-9 ). However, Isaiah is really in no doubt about their true position. There are no scales before his eyes. He now turns to God and outlines the position of the people, for he knows that he is seeking to call them out from the dreadful darkness in which they live, which has resulted in their being forsaken by God, into His marvellous light, and that unless God acts there is little hope for them. Isaiah 2:6-9 ‘For you have forsaken... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:6-22

The Awful Situation of His People Before Yahweh And Its Future Consequences (Isaiah 2:6-22 ). In contrast with the glorious vision that we have just seen, of Yahweh’s triumph and people flocking to God, is the contrasting scene that follows. It is a scene of unrelieved gloom although still pointing to Yahweh’s triumph. Analysis of Isaiah 2:6-22: a For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:5-22

Isaiah 2:5-Song of Solomon : . The Day of Yahweh.— A poem dating from Isaiah’ s earliest period, dealing first with the sin, then with the judgment, of Israel. The text has been badly preserved. Probably the refrain which we find in various forms in Isaiah 2:10; Isaiah 2:19; Isaiah 2:21, stood at the beginning of the poem, before Isaiah 2:6 ( Isaiah 2:5 being an editorial link). Another refrain occurs in Isaiah 2:11; Isaiah 2:17, and a variant of it in Isaiah 2:9 and in Isaiah 5:15. Probably... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:6

Therefore; for the following reasons. Or, but, as this particle is oft used. But why do I persuade the Israelites to receive the light of the gospel? my labour is in vain. I foresee they will refuse it; and God, for their many and great sins, will give them up to apostacy and infidelity. Thou hast forsaken; wilt certainly forsake and reject. The body of that nation. They be replenished from the east; their land is full of the impious, and superstitious, and idolatrous manners of the Eastern... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:7

Neither is there any end of their treasures; they have heaped up riches immoderately, (which was forbidden even to their king, Deuteronomy 17:17) and by wicked practices; they are never satisfied, but still greedily pursuing after more and more wealth, making this their chief business and joy. Their land also is full of horses; which even their king was forbidden to multiply, Deuteronomy 17:16, much more his subjects. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:8

They give that worship to their own creatures which they deny to me their Creator, than which nothing can be more impious and absurd. read more
