以赛亚书 30:19-26 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 30:18-26

The closing words of the foregoing paragraph (You shall be left as a beacon upon a mountain) some understand as a promise that a remnant of them should be reserved as monuments of mercy; and here the prophet tells them what good times should succeed these calamities. Or the first words in this paragraph may be read by way of antithesis, Notwithstanding this, yet will the Lord wait that he may be gracious. The prophet, having shown that those who made Egypt their confidence would be ashamed of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:19

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem ,.... Or, "for the people of Zion F26 עם בציון "polpulus Sion", V. L. Gataker. shall dwell in Jerusalem"; those that belonged to the fort of Zion should dwell in Jerusalem, or "abide" there, both they and the inhabitants of it, at least many of them should quietly continue there, waiting the Lord's time to appear for them, and not run here and there, and particularly to Egypt for help or shelter. Seeing there are many things in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:20

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction ,.... Either at this present time, when the city was besieged by Sennacherib; or when it should be besieged by the Chaldeans, when adversity was their bread, and affliction their water; or when they had only bread and water in their adversity and affliction; or a famine of bread and water, as is common in times of a siege. It may refer to the poor, and mean, and afflicted state of the people of God, in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:21

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee ,.... Which may be said in reference to the backsliding and declining state of the people, Isaiah 30:11 and is thought by some to be an allusion to schoolmasters, who stand behind their scholars, or at their backs, to guide, teach, and instruct them; and by others to shepherds following their flocks, who, when they observe any of the sheep going out of the way, call them back; or to travellers, who, coming to a place where are several ways, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:22

Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver ,.... Images made of solid silver, covered with rich and costly garments; or images covered and decorated with plates of silver; see Jeremiah 10:4 these they not only pulled down and defaced, but defiled, to show their contempt and abhorrence of them: and the ornament of thy molten images of gold ; images made of solid gold, covered with an ephod, as the word here used signifies; such an one as the high priest wore, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:23

Then shall he give thee rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal ,.... Or, "rain to thy seed" F6 מטר זרעך "sementi tuae", Piscator; "semini tuo", V. L. Tigurine version. ; that is, when the seed is sown in the earth, the Lord will give the former rain, and cause it to take root, and spring up: and bread of the increase of the earth ; the earth, being watered with rain, should give its increase of corn, of which bread should be made; so that there would be seed to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:24

The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground ,.... Or till it; for though these might not be joined together in a yoke, yet they were made use of separately in ploughing land, Deuteronomy 22:10 , shall eat clean provender ; the word for "provender" signifies a mixture, such as cattle eat, especially horses, as beans, oats, barley, and fitches, and of which there should be such plenty, that the cattle should eat of it; not of the chaff and husks of these, nor these in their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:25

And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill ,.... Which were round about Jerusalem, and in other parts of Judea: rivers and streams of water ; such abundance of rain, that it should flow in streams like rivers, from the higher to the lower lands, and water them. This may in a spiritual sense be understood of the great plenty of the ministry of the Gospel, in all the kingdoms of the world, great and small, signified by mountains and hills; and which may also... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:26

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun ,.... An hyperbolical expression, used to set forth the exceeding great light of the Gospel under the dispensation of it, which would as far exceed the light of the former dispensation, comparable to the moon, as the light of the sun exceeds the light of the moon; as also that great degree of spiritual joy and comfort that should be in those times, especially in the latter day; and the Jews themselves apply this to the times of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:19

For the people shall dwell in Zion "When a holy people shall dwell in Sion" - Λαος ἁγιος , Septuagint; קדוש עם am kadosh . The word dro קדוש kadosh , lost out of the text, but happily supplied by the Septuagint, clears up the sense, otherwise extremely obscure. When the rest of the cities of the land were taken by the king of Assyria, Zion was preserved, and all that were in it. Thou shalt weep no more "Thou shalt implore him with weeping" - The negative particle לא lo is... read more
