イザヤ書 52:9-12 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 52:7-12

The removal of the Jews from Babylon to their own land again is here spoken of both as a mercy and as a duty; and the application of Isa. 52:7 to the preaching of the gospel (by the apostle, Rom. 10:15) plainly intimates that that deliverance was a type and figure of the redemption of mankind by Jesus Christ, to which what is here said of their redemption out of Babylon ought to be accommodated. I. It is here spoken of as a great blessing, which ought to be welcomed with abundance of joy and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 52:9

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem ,.... This is what the watchmen shall say when they lift up their voice; this will be one part of their song, and the intent of it; to observe to the members of the churches, which shall be constituted in those parts which were formerly barren and desolate, what wonderful things the Lord has done in bringing again Zion; in building up the ruins of it; in the clear light of the Gospel he has caused to break forth, and in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 52:10

The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations ,.... Revealed his Gospel, which is a system of holy doctrines, and is the power of God unto salvation, openly, in the sight of all men, and given it a general spread all the world over; and with it has exerted his almighty power, in the marvellous conversion of multitudes of souls everywhere, in which his holiness, as well as his power, is displayed: or else Christ is here meant, who is the power of God; by whom he has made... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 52:11

Depart ye, depart ye ,.... Not from Jerusalem, as some, for that is now said to be redeemed, and its waste places made joyful; but Babylon, even mystical Babylon. The Targum is, "be ye separated, be ye separated": and so the apostle, 2 Corinthians 6:17 . It denotes a separation from the idolatrous church of Rome; and the exhortation is repeated, to hasten the thing, to urge the necessity of it, and point at the danger of delaying it; and it may be it may respect a two fold separation, one... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 52:12

For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight ,.... As persons afraid of their enemies, of being pursued, overtaken, and detained by them; privily or by stealth, like fugitives, as the Oriental versions render it; in like manner as the Israelites went out of Egypt: but it signifies, that they should go out openly, boldly, quietly, and safely, and without fear of their enemies; yea, their enemies rather being afraid of them. So the witnesses, when they shall rise, will ascend to heaven... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 52:9

He hath redeemed Jerusalem "He hath redeemed Israel" - For the word ירושלם yerushalaim , which occurs the second time in this verse, MS. Bodleian and another read ישראל yisrael . It is upon a rasure in a third; and left unpointed at first, as suspected, in a fourth. It was an easy mistake, by the transcriber casting his eye on the line above: and the propriety of the correction, both in regard to sense and elegance, is evident. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 52:11

Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence - The Prophet Jeremiah seems to have had his eye on this passage of Isaiah, and to have applied it to a subject directly opposite. It is here addressed by the prophet in a way of encouragement and exhortation to the Jews coming out of Babylon. Jeremiah has given it a different turn, and has thrown it out, as a reproach of the heathen upon the Jews when they were driven from Jerusalem into captivity: - "Depart; ye are polluted, depart; depart ye,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 52:1-12

The redemption of Jerusalem. I. THE SUMMONS . It comes from the Divine representatives. She had been called upon to arise and to stand up, and now she is to put on her strength and her robes. "Strength returns to Zion when the arm of Jehovah is mighty within her." It is useless to counterfeit the semblance of strength which does not exist. Nor is strength merely a matter of the will; but there ever is a secret fund of strength in the hearts of those who know that God has not forsaken... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 52:2-9

The liberty of the Church. "Loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion." I. THE RIGHT OF THE CHURCH TO LIBERTY . The sight of the daughter of Zion in chains was very pitiable in the prophet's eye. How much more grievous the spectacle of a Christian Church in bondage, enslaved and oppressed! The Christian Church, being composed of those who have received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and being called into existence for the purpose of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 52:7-12

A VISION OF THE DAY OF DELIVERANCE . The prophet sees the messenger come bounding over the mountains of Judaea, to bring the news to Jerusalem that her deliverance is come ( Isaiah 52:7 ). The angelic watchers sing with joy ( Isaiah 52:8 ). The prophet calls upon the waste places of Jerusalem to do the same, and dwells on the greatness of the mercy wrought ( Isaiah 52:9 , Isaiah 52:10 ). Finally, he exhorts the exiles to avail themselves of the permission to quit Babylon,... read more
