以赛亚书 3:12-14 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 3:9-15

Here God proceeds in his controversy with his people. Observe, I. The ground of his controversy. It was for sin that God contended with them; if they vex themselves, let them look a little further and they will see that they must thank themselves: Woe unto their souls! For they have rewarded evil unto themselves. Alas for their souls! (so it may be read, in a way of lamentation), for they have procured evil to themselves, Isa. 3:9. Note, The condition of sinners is woeful and very deplorable.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:12

As for my people, children are their oppressors ,.... Or rulers; for נוגש , in the Ethiopic language, signifies a king: or "exactors", as in Isaiah 60:17 princes are so called, because they exact tribute of their subjects, and sometimes in a tyrannical and oppressive manner, and so get the name of oppressors. The sense is the same with Isaiah 3:4 . The words may be rendered, "as for my people, everyone of their governors, is a child" F14 נגשיו מעולל "exactorum ejus quisque... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:13

The Lord standeth up to plead ,.... His own cause, or the cause of his son against the Jews that rejected him, and the Scribes and Pharisees that led them to an ill opinion of him: and standeth to judge the people . Both expressions show indignation and resentment; he rises up out of his place, and stands up in defence of his cause, and avenges himself on a wicked and ungrateful people: it seems to have reference to the judgments of God on the people of the Jews, the tribes of Israel. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:14

The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof ,.... Both civil and ecclesiastical; the princes, chief priests, and elders of the people, who set themselves and took counsel together against the Lord and his Christ; would not suffer the people to be gathered to him; sought his life, and at last took it away. For ye have eaten up the vineyard , or burnt it F16 בער־תאם "succendistis", Vatablus, Montanus. ; the house of Israel, and of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 3:12

Err "Pervert" - בלעו billeu , "swallow." Among many unsatisfactory methods of accounting for the unusual meaning of this word in this place, I choose Jarchi's explication, as making the best sense. "Read בללו billalu , 'confound.' Syriac." - Dr. Judd. "Read בהלו beholu , 'disturb or trouble.'" - Secker. So Septuagint. This verse might be read, "The collectors of grapes shall be their oppressors; and usurers ( noshim , instead of nashim , women) shall rule over them." read more

The reasons of judgment. In man's sufferings they must own they are subject to the reasonable rule of him who is eternal Reason. I. ANTAGONISM TO THE DIVINE RULE . In word and deed. 1. In current talk, writing, speechifying, it is difficult to detect where the falsehood lies. It consists in the suppression of certain important sides of truth, and in putting forward interested, partial views of things. The literature of a people cannot be sound, if it be sunk in greed of... read more

THE CAUSE OF THE JUDGMENT SHOWN TO BE THE SINS OF JERUSALEM . 1. The sins of the men . ( Isaiah 3:8-15 ). These are declared to be partly sins of speech, but mainly sins of act ( Isaiah 3:8 ). Of sins of speech the only one specified is the open and shameless declaration of their wickedness ( Isaiah 3:9 ). Under the head of sins of act are enumerated The enumeration of the sins is mixed with exhortation and comment in such a way as to give rise to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:12

As for my people . Return is now made to the sins of the dwellers in Jerusalem, and the first thing noted is that the people suffer from the childishness and effeminacy of their rulers. The rulers are called "oppressors" by the way here, the sin of oppression being dwelt on later ( Isaiah 3:14 , Isaiah 3:15 ). Here the emphatic words are "children," "women." Children (see Isaiah 3:4 ). The rulers are "children," or rather "babes"—foolish, capricious, cowardly. It is not clear that... read more
