イザヤ書 24:6-12 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-12

It is a very dark and melancholy scene that this prophecy presents to our view; turn our eyes which way we will, every thing looks dismal. The threatened desolations are here described in a great variety of expressions to the same purport, and all aggravating. I. The earth is stripped of all its ornaments and looks as if it were taken off its basis; it is made empty and waste (Isa. 24:1), as if it were reduced to its first chaos, Tohu and Bohu, nothing but confusion and emptiness again (Gen.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:6

Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth ,.... The inhabitants of it, and the fruits upon it, alluding to the earth being cursed for the sin of man, when it brought forth briers and thorns; this may denote the seven vials of God's wrath poured upon the earth, or the antichristian states. Some, by the curse, understand perjury or false swearing; so the Targum, "therefore, because of perjury (or a false oath) the earth is become a desert;' of which popes, and Popish princes, cardinals,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:7

The new wine mourneth ,.... For want men to drink it, or because spilled by the enemy; or the inhabitants of the land mourn for want of it, not having their vintages as usual: the vine languisheth ; or is sickly, and so barren and unfruitful, does not bring forth its clusters of grapes as it used to do; there being none to prune it, and take care of it, and being trodden down by hostile forces. The Targum is, "all that drink wine shall mourn, because the vines are broken down.' So... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:8

The mirth of tabrets ceaseth ,.... Or of drums, and such like musical instruments, used at junketings and jovial feasts. So when Babylon is fallen, the voice of harpers and musicians, and of pipers and trumpeters, shall be heard no more therein, Revelation 18:22 , the noise of them that rejoice endeth ; the tumultuous noise of revelling persons at feasts and banquets, at marriages, and such like seasons; and so it is said, that when Babylon is destroyed, the voice of the bridegroom and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:9

They shall not drink wine with a song ,.... They that have wine to drink shall not drink it with that pleasure they have heretofore done; nor shall their drinking be attended with merry songs, such as are sung by drunkards, who, while they are quaffing, are chanting to the sound of the viol, or other musical instruments; see Amos 6:5 , strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it ; they shall have no gust for it, or relish of it, as they formerly had; either through bodily... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:10

The city of confusion is broken down ,.... Or "of vanity", as the Vulgate Latin version; or of "emptiness" or "desolation"; the word is "tohu", used in Genesis 1:2 this is to be understood not of Bethel, where one of Jeroboam's calves was, called Bethaven, or "the house of vanity"; nor Samaria, the chief city of the ten tribes; nor Jerusalem; but mystical Babylon, whose name signifies "confusion"; even the city of Rome, in which there is nothing but disorder and irregularity, no truth,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:11

There is a crying for wine in the streets ,.... Not to them that have it, to come and sell it, as Kimchi; but for want of it: there shall be a howling and lamentation in the streets of Rome, during the siege of it, when there will be a famine of bread and of wine, as in Revelation 18:8 by those who used to drink wine, and make glad their hearts; but now shall be without it. This is put for all desirable things, which their souls lusted after; but now will be departed from them, ... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:12

In the city is left desolation ,.... And nothing else, palaces, houses, and temples burnt, and inhabitants destroyed; none but devils, foul spirits, and hateful and unclean birds, inhabiting it, Revelation 18:2 , and the gate is smitten with destruction ; or "gates", the singular for the plural; none passing and repassing through them, as formerly, and themselves utterly destroyed. This, according to Kimchi, shall be in the days of the Messiah, in the times of Gog and Magog. read more
