イザヤ書 30:32-33 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 30:27-33

This terrible prediction of the ruin of the Assyrian army, though it is a threatening to them, is part of the promise to the Israel of God, that God would not only punish the Assyrians for the mischief they had done to the Israel of God, but would disable and deter them from doing the like again; and this prediction, which would now shortly be accomplished, would ratify and confirm the foregoing promises, which should be accomplished in the latter days. Here is, I. God Almighty angry, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:32

And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass ,.... The storm before mentioned, the wrath and righteous judgment of God, founded upon his unalterable purposes and decrees; and, wherever it came, would fall with great weight, sink deep, stick fast, and remain fixed and sure, like a rod or staff fastened in the earth: which the Lord shall lay upon him ; or, "cause to rest upon him" F15 יניח "requiescere faciet", Pagninus, Montanus; "quiescere faciet", Cocceius. ; the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:33

For Tophet is ordained of old ,.... The place long ago appointed for the ruin of the Assyrian army, which pitched here: this was a valley near Jerusalem, the valley of the son of Hinnom; so called, from the drums and tabrets beat upon here, to prevent parents hearing the cries of their infants offered to Molech: into it was brought the filth and dung of the city; here malefactors were buried, it is said; and such as were condemned to burning were burned here; and such as had no burial were... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:32

The grounded staff "The rod of his correction" - For מוסדה musadah , the grounded staff, of which no one yet has been able to make any tolerable sense, Le Clerc conjectured מוסרה musarah , of correction; (see Proverbs 22:15 ;); and so it is in two MSS., (one of them ancient), and seems to be so in the Bodleian MS. The Syriac has בדה דשוע deshuebedah , Virgo domans, vet subjectionis , "the taming rod, or rod of subjection." With tabrets and harps - With every demonstration... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:33

For Tophet is ordained - Tophet is a valley very near to Jerusalem, to the southeast, called also the valley of Hinnom or Gehenna; where the Canaanites, and afterwards the Israelites, sacrificed their children, by making them pass through the fire, that is, by burning them in the fire, to Molech, as some suppose. It is therefore used for a place of punishment by fire; and by our blessed Savior in the Gospel for hell-fire, as the Jews themselves had applied it. See Chald. on Isaiah 33:14 ,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:27-33

A PROPHECY OF ASSYRIA 'S DESTRUCTION . Mr. Chcyne regards this passage as "a symbolic description of the judgment introduced by a theophany." But is it not rather a poetical description of God's judgment on Assyria, which may be, probably is, a type of his final judgment upon an iniquitous world? The mention of Assyria in Isaiah 30:31 seems to be decisive in favor of the prophecy being (primarily) of special application to the circumstances of the time. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:27-33

Judgment and joy. This forcible, energetic language, in which darkest shadow and brightest sunshine very strikingly intermingle, may remind us— I. THAT GOD DOES COME IN TERRIBLE JUDGMENTS TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN . 1. Sometimes to men collectively—to societies, to cities, to nations. 2. At other times to individual men. In the special ordering or in the permission of his Divine providence he sends the overwhelming loss and consequently reduced or even... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:29-32

The punishments of nations for deliverance, rather than for vengeance. God "hath no pleasure in the death of him that dieth" ( Ezekiel 18:32 ). His justice compels him to punish the wicked, and sometimes requires the destruction even of a nation; but the main object of the Almighty in all such destructions is not to take vengeance on the oppressor, but to deliver the oppressed. Assyria, and the nations leagued with her, had now by their wickedness, their pride, their blasphemy, their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:32

In every place where the grounded staff shall pass, etc.; rather, and it shall come to pass that every stroke (literally, passage ) of the destined rod which Jehovah causes to rest upon him shall be with an accompaniment of drums and citherns . Each blow dealt to Assyria shall rejoice her enemies, and cause them to break out into songs of praise, accompanied by the music of various instruments (comp. Isaiah 30:29 ; and see also Exodus 15:1-21 ). In battles of shaking ; or, ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:33

For Tophet is ordained of old ; rather, for a Tophet has been long since prepared . A "Tophet" is a place of burning, probably derived from the Aryan root tap or taph , found in Greek τάφος τέφρα , Latin tepidus , Sanskrit tap , Persian taphtan . The name was specially attached to a particular spot in the Valley of Hinnom, where sacrifices were offered to Moloch ( 2 Kings 23:10 ; Jeremiah 7:31 ; Jeremiah 19:6 , Jeremiah 19:11 , etc.); but Isaiah seems to use it... read more
