以賽亞書 7:4 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-9

The prophet Isaiah had his commission renewed in the year that king Uzziah died, Isa. 6:1. Jotham his son reigned, and reigned well, sixteen years. All that time, no doubt, Isaiah prophesied as he was commanded, and yet we have not in this book any of his prophecies dated in the reign of Jotham; but this, which is put first, was in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham. Many excellent useful sermons he preached which were not published and left upon record; for, if all that was memorable had been... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:4

And say unto him, take heed, and be quiet ,.... Or "keep" thyself, not within the city, and from fighting with his enemies, but from unbelief, fear, and dread; or, as the Septuagint version, "keep" thyself, "that thou mayest be quiet" F1 השמר והשקט φυλαξαι , Sept.; "observa ut sis quieto animo", Vatablus. ; be easy, still, and silent, and see the salvation of God: the Jewish writers interpret the first word of resting and settling, as wine upon the lees: see Jeremiah 48:11 , ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 7:4

The Syriac omits וארם vearam , "and Syria;" the Vulgate reads ארם מלך melech aram , "king of Syria:" one or the other seems to be the true reading. I prefer the former: or, instead of ובן וארם vearam uben , read בן ופקח vepekach ben , and pekah son , MS. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-7

The designs of the wicked, however well laid, easily brought to naught by God. It would be difficult to find a scheme, humanly speaking, more prudent and promising than that now formed by Rezin and Pekah. They had each measured their strength against that of Ahaz singly, and had come off decided victors from the encounter. What doubt could there be of success when their arms were united? And success would be a matter of the greatest importance to them. It would enable them to form a compact... read more

SECTION IV . PROPHECIES CONNECTED WITH THE SYRO - ISRAELITE WAR (Isaiah 7-10:4). THE PROPHECY GIVEN TO AHAZ AT THE TIME OF THE SYRO - ISRAELITISH WAR . The Syro-Israelitish war is touched on both in Kings and Chronicles. In Kings the alliance between Rezin and Pekah is distinctly declared, as also the fact that they conjointly besieged Jerusalem ( 2 Kings 16:5 ). From Chronicles we learn that, before the siege, Ahaz was twice defeated with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-9

The prophet comforts the king. I. THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK . The kings and chieftains of Palestine were in dread of the great Assyrian power. Under the weak rule of Ahaz Judah had sunk very low, and the King of Damascus, with the King of Ephraim, think it a favorable opportunity to attack the little kingdom, and so strengthen themselves against the Assyrians. "Far down to the gulf of Akaba the shock of invasion was felt. Elath, the favorite seaport of Jehoshaphat and Uzziah, was made... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-9

The establishing power of faith. The practical force of this prophetic utterance is found in the final words of it: "If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established" ( Isaiah 7:9 ). We may see in them a declaration expressly personal . They intimate to Ahaz that if he, the present King of Judah, does not put his faith in the minister and in the message of the Lord, his kingdom and his power will suffer loss. 1. His faith was sorely tried. "His heart was moved as the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:4

Take heed, and be quiet ; or, see that thou keep quiet ; i.e. "be not disturbed; do not resort to strange and extreme measures; in quietness and confidence should be your strength" (see Isaiah 30:15 ). The two tails of these smoking firebrands . Rezin and Pekah are called "two tails," or "two stumps of smoking firebrands," as persons who had been dangerous, but whose power of doing harm was on the polar of departing from them. They could not now kindle a flame; they could only... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 7:4

Take heed - Hebrew ‘Keep thyself;’ that is, from fear.Neither be fainthearted - Hebrew, ‘Let not thy heart be tender;’ that is, let it not be easily moved; be strong, fearless.For the tails ... - There is much beauty and force in this comparison. The “design” of Isaiah is to diminish the fear of Ahaz. Instead, therefore, of calling them “firebrands” - burning and setting on fire everything in their way - he calls them the “tails, that is, the ends,” or remains of firebrand - almost consumed... read more

Isaiah 7:4. Say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet Settle thy mind by the belief of that joyful message which I am now to deliver to thee from the Lord; Fear not for the two tails, &c. These two kings and their forces, which, though they seem to threaten utter destruction, yet shall not be able to do much mischief, being not whole fire-brands, but only small pieces or ends of them, taken out of the fire, in which there is more smoke than fire: and the fire will be speedily... read more
