以賽亞書 10:15-19 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-19

The destruction of the kingdom of Israel by Shalmaneser king of Assyria was foretold in the foregoing chapter, and it had its accomplishment in the sixth year of Hezekiah, 2 Kgs. 18:10. It was total and final, head and tail were all cut off. Now the correction of the kingdom of Judah by Sennacherib king of Assyria is foretold in this chapter; and this prediction was fulfilled in the fourteenth year of Hezekiah, when that potent prince, encouraged by the successes of his predecessor against the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:15

Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith ?.... Hitherto are the words of the Assyrian monarch; and here begin the words of the prophet, rebuking him for his pride, and deriding his vain boasting, in attributing that to himself, to his wisdom and power, who was but an instrument, which belonged to God, the sole Governor and wise orderer of all things; which was all one as if an axe should ascribe the cutting down of trees to itself, and insist on it that the man that cut... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:16

Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts ,.... Because of the pride, and arrogance, and vain boasting of the Assyrian monarch, which was resented by the Lord, he is threatened with what follows; and in order to humble him, and to show that God is above him, these titles are used; "the Lord", the Lord of the whole earth, and the King of kings, and Lord of lords; "the Lord of hosts", of armies above and below, of more and greater armies than what the king of Assyria was lord of; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:17

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire ,.... That is, the Lord, who is the light of his people; who enlightens them by his word and Spirit, and by his grace effectually calls them out of darkness into marvellous light, to the light of grace here, and to the light of glory hereafter; and who comforts and refreshes them with his gracious presence, and with the light of his countenance when in affliction and distress, which is sometimes signified by darkness; and the same Lord, who is as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:18

And shall consume the glory of his forest ,.... The Assyrian army is compared to a "forest", for the number of men in it; and for the mighty men in it, comparable to large and tall trees, such as oaks and cedars; and like a wood or forest a numerous army looks, when in rank and file, in proper order, and with banners, and having on their armour, their shields, spears, bows and arrows; and the "glory" of it intends either the princes and nobles that were in it, the principal officers,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:19

And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few ,.... Which were left unconsumed, that escaped this destruction, those of the Assyrian army that fled with Sennacherib their king; which, the Rabbins say F18 T. Bab. ib. fol. 95. 2. Praefat. Echa Rabbati, fol. 41. 1. , were no more than ten, as Jarchi and Kimchi observe; yea, some say there were but five left who escaped, and name them, Sennacherib and his two sons, Nebuchadnezzar and Nebuzaradan: that a child may write them ;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:15

No wood "Its master" - I have here given the meaning, without attempting to keep to the expression of the original, עץ לא lo ets , "the no-wood;" that which is not wood like itself, but of a quite different and superior nature. The Hebrews have a peculiar way of joining the negative particle לא lo to a noun, to signify in a strong manner a total negation of the thing expressed by the noun. "How hast thou given help ( כח ללא lelo choach ) to the no-strength? And saved the arm... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:16

The Lord "Jehovah" - For אדני Adonai , fifty-two MSS., eleven editions, and two of my own, ancient, read יהוה , Yehovah , as in other cases. And under his glory - That is, all that he could boast of as great and strong in his army, (Sal. ben Melec in loc.), expressed afterwards, Isaiah 10:18 , by the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:17

And it shall burn and devour his thorns "And he shall burn and consume his thorn" - The briers and thorns are the common people; the glory of his forest are the nobles and those of highest rank and importance. See note on Isaiah 9:17 , and compare Ezekiel 20:47 . The fire of God's wrath shall destroy them, both great and small; it shall consume them from the soul to the flesh; a proverbial expression; soul and body, as we say; it shall consume them entirely and altogether; and the few... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-15

Assyria the rod of Jehovah. I. A WARLIKE POWER MAY BE THE PENAL INSTRUMENT OF PROVIDENCE . Assyria is here described as the "staff of Jehovah's anger," the "rod of his wrath," appointed to march against a people who have excited the Divine indignation. As he plunders and spoils, and proceeds on his devastating way, he may be in effect like Attila, the "scourge of God," destined like a wholesome tempest to purify the moral air of a corrupt age, and to prepare for a better... read more
