イザヤ書 5:28-30 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 5:18-30

Here are, I. Sins described which will bring judgments upon a people: and this perhaps is not only a charge drawn up against the men of Judah who lived at that time, and the particular articles of that charge, though it may relate primarily to them, but is rather intended for warning to all people, in all ages, to take heed of these sins, as destructive both to particular persons and to communities, and exposing men to God's wrath and his righteous judgments. Those are here said to be in a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:28

Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent ,.... Ready to shoot their arrows upon any occasion; and which being sharp, penetrated deep, and were deadly. This includes all kind of warlike instruments, with which they should come furnished, and ready prepared to do execution: their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint ; by those who rode upon them; who knowing how strong and firm they were, and that they were not worn out, nor hurt by the length of the way they came, would not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:29

Their roaring shall be like a lion ,.... When engaged in war, just seizing on their prey. The phrase denotes their fierceness and cruelty, and the horror they should inject into the hearts of their enemies: they shall roar like young lions ; that are hungry, and almost famished, and in sight of their prey; see Job 4:10 , yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey ; seize it with great noise and greediness: and shall carry it away safe ; into their own den, the country... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:30

And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea ,.... That is, the Romans against the Jews; whose attacks upon them should be with so much fierceness and power, that it should be like the roaring of the sea, which is very dreadful, and threatens with utter destruction; the roaring of the sea and its waves is mentioned among the signs preceding Jerusalem's destruction by the Romans, Luke 21:25 , and if one look unto the land : the land of Judea, when wasted by... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 5:28

Their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint "The hoofs of their horses shall be counted as adamant" - The shoeing of horses with iron plates nailed to the hoof is quite a modern practice, and was unknown to the ancients, as appears from the silence of the Greek and Roman writers, especially those that treat of horse medicine, who could not have passed over a matter so obvious and of such importance that now the whole science takes its name from it, being called by us farriery. The... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 5:30

If one look unto the land, etc. "And these shall look to the heaven upward, and down to the earth" - לארץ ונבט venibbat laarets . Και εμβλεψονται εις την γην . So the Septuagint, according to the Vatican and Alexandrian copies; but the Complutensian and Aldine editions have it more fully, thus: - Και εμβλεψονται εις τον ουρανον ανω, και κατω ; and the Arabic from the Septuagint, as if it had stood thus: Και εμβλεψονται εις ουρανον, και εις την γην κατω , both of which are plainly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:24-30

The judgments of the Lord. These verses are obviously pictorial and figurative; they must be treated as highly hyperbolical or they will be misconceived. Though their primary reference is to the judgments which impended over the guilty nation, we may discover in them some principles which not only extend to every age, but apply to every individual soul. I. THAT THE INDIVIDUAL AS WELL AS THE NATION MAY BE THE OBJECT OF THE AWFUL ANGER OF ALMIGHTY GOD ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:25-29

Wicked men used by God as instruments for working out his purposes. The psalmist declares the wicked to be "God's sword" ( Psalms 17:13 ). In a later chapter Isaiah calls Assyria "the rod of God's anger" ( Isaiah 10:5 ). Nothing is more clearly set forth in the prophetical writings than the fact that— I. CONQUERING NATIONS ARE RAISED UP BY GOD TO CHASTISE THE NATIONS THAT ARE HIS ENEMIES . 1. Assyria was "the axe" with which God hewed down... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:25-30

THE NATURE OF THE COMING JUDGMENT EXPLAINED . Hints have been already given that the judgment which is to fall on the nation is a foreign war, or a series of foreign wars (see Isaiah 3:25 ; Isaiah 5:13 ). But now for the first time a terrible invasion, in which many nations will participate, is clearly announced. At first the imagery is obscure ( Isaiah 5:25 ), but it soon grows more distinct. "Nations" are summoned to the attack; a vast army comes, and comes" with speed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:26-30

Foreign invasion. This powerful picture points to the threatened Assyrian invasion. I. THE IMAGE OF A WARLIKE ADVANCE . It is wrought out with singular boldness. Jehovah of hosts is conceived as lifting up a signal visible to the far-off nations, and sounding at the same time a whistle-cry, so that they swiftly gather together and come in troops from the horizon. Then rapid and unbroken is their march. Not a foot tires, not a warrior drowses or sleeps, or stays to rest. Not one... read more
