以賽亞書 26:18 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 26:12-19

The prophet in these verses looks back upon what God had done with them, both in mercy and judgment, and sings unto God of both, and then looks forward upon what he hoped God would do for them. Observe, I. His reviews and reflections are mixed. When he looks back upon the state of the church he finds, 1. That God had in many instances been very gracious to them and had done great things for them. (1.) In general (Isa. 26:12): Thou hast wrought all our works in us, or for us. Whatever good work... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:18

We have been with child ,.... Like women with child; we have been full of hopes and expectations of great things, of deliverance from our enemies, and of the kingdom of Christ being at hand: we have been in pain ; in great distress and anxiety, and in fervent and frequent prayer, travailing in birth, which we looked upon as forerunners of a happy issue of things: we have as it were brought forth wind ; all our hopes have proved abortive, and we have been disappointed in our... read more

We have - brought forth wind - The learned Professor Michaelis explains this image in the following manner: " Rariorem morbum describi, empneumatosin, aut ventosam molam, dictum; quo quae laborant diu et sibi et peritis medicis gravidae videntur,tandemque post omnes verae graviditatis molestias et labored ventum ex utero emittunt: quem morbum passim describunt medici . "Syntagma Comment., vol. ii., p. 165. The empneumatosis, or windy inflation of the womb, is a disorder to which females... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-18

A SONG OF THE REDEEMED IN MOUNT ZION . The prophet, having (in Isaiah 25:1-12 .) poured forth his own thankfulness to God for the promise of the Church's final redemption and triumph, proceeds now to represent the Church itself in the glorified state as singing praise to God for the same. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-18

Thanksgiving the employment of the saints in bliss. The prophet, in this sublime passage of his prophecy, carries us with him within the veil, and reveals to us the very words, or, at the least, the general tone and tenor of utterances, which the saints make when they have passed from earth to heaven, and stand in the very presence of God. The words are, as we should have expected, mainly words of praise and thanksgiving. The saints praise God— I. FOR THE BLESSINGS OF THEIR ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:12-18

The argument from the past. Great things are represented, by the prophetic voice, to have been done, and these furnish the strongest reason to expect great things in the future. I. THE GREAT THINGS GOD HAS DONE FOR US . 1. He has heard our cry in the day of distress ( Isaiah 26:16 , Isaiah 26:17 ). Few things go home to our hearts more readily than the words of the psalmist, "I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me." It is a great thing to have been heard of God,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:15-21

The resurrection of Israel. The population of Judah has been increased, and its borders extended. (For this cause of rejoicing cf. Isaiah 9:2 ; Isaiah 49:19 , Isaiah 49:20 ; Isaiah 54:1 , etc.; Micah 2:1 , Micah 2:2 ; Micah 4:7 ; Obadiah 1:19 , Obadiah 1:20 .) Probably he is thinking of the population and strength of the land in the days of David and Solomon, as typical of what is again to be in the happier times. But actually a period of gloom and suffering must precede... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:18

We have as it were brought forth wind . Our pains have been idle, futile—have effected nothing. We have not given deliverance (literally, "salvation") to our land; we have not effected the downfall of our heathen enemies. That downfall was God's work ( Isaiah 24:16-20 ). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 26:18

We have been ... - This refers to sorrows and calamities which they had experienced in former times, when they had made great efforts for deliverance, and when those efforts had proved abortive. Perhaps it refers to the efforts of this kind which they had made during their painful captivity of seventy years. There is no direct proof indeed, that during that time they attempted to revolt, or that they organized themselves for resistance to the Babylonian power; but there can be no doubt that... read more

Isaiah 26:16-18. O Lord, in trouble Amidst the various calamities brought upon them for their correction and especially in their captivity; have they Namely, thy people; visited thee Come into thy presence with their prayers and supplications; they poured out a prayer Prayed much and earnestly, as the expression implies; when thy chastening was upon them When thou wast punishing them for their sins. Like as a woman is in pain, &c. A comparison often used to express men’s... read more
