イザヤ書 63:6 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-6

It is a glorious victory that is here enquired into first and then accounted for. 1. It is a victory obtained by the providence of God over the enemies of Israel; over the Babylonians (say some), whom Cyrus conquered and God by him, and they will have the prophet to make the first discovery of him in his triumphant return when he is in the country of Edom: but this can by no means be admitted, because the country of Babylon is always spoken of as the land of the north, whereas Edom lay south... read more

See Gill on Isaiah 63:3 , and make them drunk in my fury ; or with it F19 בחמתי "excandescentia mea", Junius & Tremellius; "aestu meo", Cocceius; so Gataker. the wrath of God is signified by a cup, which he gives wicked men to drink, and which is an inebriating one to them, Psalm 75:8 , and here it signifies the cup of the wine of the fierceness of God's wrath, which shall be given to mystical Babylon, to antichrist and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:6

And make them drunk in my fury "And I crushed them in mine indignation" - For ואשכרם vaashkerem , and I made them drunken, twenty-seven MSS., (three ancient), twelve of De Rossi's, and the old edition of 1488, have ואשברם vaashabberem , and I crushed them: and so the Syriac and Chaldee. The Septuagint have omitted this whole line. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-6

SECTION IX .— THE JUDGMENT OF GOD ON IDUMAEA ( Isaiah 63:1-6 ). A JUDGMENT ON IDUMAEA . Isaiah had already, in the first portion of his prophecy, announced" a great slaughter in the land of Idumaea" as resolved on in the counsels of God ( Isaiah 34:5-10 ). He now recurs to the subject, and represents Jehovah ,as a warrior with blood-stained garments, fresh from the field of battle in Edom, where he has trodden down his foes and taken a fierce vengeance on them.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-6

The Idumaeans a type of God's enemies. There was a time when Esau sought to slay his brother Jacob ( Genesis 27:41 ); and the same spirit of violence and hatred possessed the Edomite nation during its entire career. Edom strove to debar Israel from entrance into the Holy Land by refusing to give them a passage through her borders ( Numbers 20:14-21 ). She was always ready to join Israel's enemies, and sought perpetually to take Israel at a disadvantage ( 2 Kings 16:6 ; 2 Chronicles... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-6

The earlier and the later redemption. The energetic and graphic language of the text applies only in part to that Messianic kingdom to which the prophet makes such frequent reference. It obviously relates, primarily and principally, to the deliverance wrought by Jehovah in favour of his people Israel, and is concerned with the redressing of their political wrongs. But the expressions used are strongly suggestive of a far greater redemption, in which all the children of men are vitally... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:6

I will tread down … make drunk … bring down ; rather, I trode down … made drunk … brought down. See the comment on Isaiah 63:3 . The destruction was to be utter, overwhelming, absolute—one from which there could be no recovery (comp. Revelation 19:11-21 , where the simile of the wine-press, and the "vesture dipped in blood," seem introduced with a special reference to this passage). read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:6

And I will tread them down - Or rather, ‘I did tread them down.’ The allusion here is to a warrior who tramples on his foes and treads them in the dust (see the notes at Isaiah 25:10).And made them drunk - That is, I made them reel and fall under my fury like a drunken man. In describing the destruction of Idumea in Isaiah 34:5, Yahweh says that his sword was made drunk, or that it rushed intoxicated from heaven. See the notes on that verse. But here he says that the people, under the terrors... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 63:5-6

Isaiah 63:5-6. I looked, and there was none to help “Things were come to that extremity, that there was no appearance of succour by any human means. Those who, by their office and character, ought to have stood up in defence of oppressed truth and righteousness, even they, contrary to what might have been justly expected, betrayed so good a cause, or had not the courage to defend it. So that it was time for God to interpose, and to appear in defence of his own honour and people.” Therefore... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-6

God’s holy anger (63:1-6)When Babylon made its last attack on Jerusalem (587 BC), Edom joined in, taking wicked delight in helping to destroy the Israelite nation. God’s messengers announced his judgment on Edom for this (Psalms 137:7; Obadiah 1:10-14; cf. Malachi 1:4-5), though in the denunciation in the present chapter, Edom may be a symbol for all God’s enemies. (Compare the picture that follows with Revelation 14:18-20; Revelation 19:13-16.)On seeing a person clothed in red approaching him... read more
