以赛亚书 15:3 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 15:1-5

The country of Moab was of small extent, but very fruitful. It bordered upon the lot of Reuben on the other side Jordan and upon the Dead Sea. Naomi went to sojourn there when there was a famine in Canaan. This is the country which (it is here foretold) should be wasted and grievously harassed, not quite ruined, for we find another prophecy of its ruin (Jer. 48:1-47), which was accomplished by Nebuchadnezzar. This prophecy here was to be fulfilled within three years (Isa. 16:14), and therefore... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 15:3

In their streets they shall girt themselves with sackcloth ,.... Instead of their fine clothes, with which they had used to deck themselves, being a very proud people; see Isaiah 16:6 this was usual in times of distress on any account, as well as a token of mourning for the dead; see Joel 1:8 . The word for "streets" might be rendered "villages", as distinct from cities, that were "without" the walls of the cities, though adjacent to them; and the rather, seeing mention is made of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 15:1-9

THE BURDEN OF MOAB . The present chapter and the next are very closely connected, and may be regarded as together constituting "the burden of Moab." It has been argued on critical grounds that the bulk of the prophecy is quoted by Isaiah from an earlier writer, and that he has merely modified the wording and added a few touches here and there (so Gesenius, Rosenmüller, Hitzig, Maurer, Ewald, Knobel, and Cheyne). Jeremiah is thought to have also based his "judgment of Moab" ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 15:1-9

Oracle concerning Moab. I. HISTORY or Moan. Zoar was the cradle of the race, the house of the tribal father Lot. While the brother-tribe of Ammon wandered to the pastures of the northeast, Moab remained nearer the original seat. They were confined to a narrower district by the invasion of the Amorites ( Numbers 21:26-30 ; Deuteronomy 2:10 , Deuteronomy 2:11 ). Their long feud with the tribe of Benjamin lasted to the time of Saul. But in the Book of Ruth we have a pleasant glimpse... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 15:3

In their streets ; literally, in his streets ; i.e. the streets of Moab. They shall gird themselves with sackcloth . Another widely spread custom, known to the Assyrians ( Jonah 3:5 ), the Syrians ( 1 Kings 20:31 ), the Persians ( Esther 4:1 , Esther 4:2 ), the Israelites ( Nehemiah 9:1 ), and, as we see here, to the Moabites. The modern wearing of black garments, especially crape, is representative of the old practice. Every one shall howl . "Howling" remains one of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 15:3

National distress. The particular trouble causing such extreme grief was the destruction of the two chief cities of Moab, Ar and Kit . To destroy the capital of a kingdom is to strike the nation at its very heart. Conquerors can dictate peace when the chief city lies at their mercy. Illustrate from the recent German siege of Paris. This chapter vigorously pictures the distress throughout the land when Ar was taken, the rush of people to the border districts, the alarm of those whose... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 15:3

In their streets - Publicly. Everywhere there shall be lamentation and grief. Some shall go into the streets, and some on the tops of the houses.They shall gird themselves with sackcloth - The common token of mourning; and also worn usually in times of humiliation and fasting. It was one of the outward acts by which they expressed deep sorrow (Genesis 37:34; 2Sa 3:31; 1 Kings 21:27; 2 Kings 19:1; Job 16:15; the note at Isaiah 3:24).On the tops of the houses - The roofs of the houses in the East... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 15:1-9

Devastation in Moab (15:1-16:14)The place names mentioned in these two chapters indicate that the attack on Moab comes from the north, most likely from Assyria. The attack is swift and ruthless, and towns fall in a night. Wherever a person looks, there is mourning (15:1-4). Even Isaiah weeps as he sees the people fleeing pitifully, rushing along the streets, across the streams and over the fields that have been damaged by the invading armies. They take with them whatever precious possessions... read more
