以赛亚书 30:23 RCUVSS

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 30:23

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:18-26

A RENEWAL OF PROMISE . The denunciations of the preceding passage ( Isaiah 30:9-17 ) had been so terrible that, without some counterpoise of promise, they must have produced a general despair. This was not the Divine purpose. Judah's probation still continued. Therefore it was necessary to let it be seen that the Divine long-suffering was not yet exhausted—there were still conditions under which God would be gracious to his people. The conditions were "crying to the Lord" ( Isaiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:19-26

The blessedness of Zion. Throughout the book the idea of temporal blends with that of spiritual weal. The images are drawn from the state of temporal happiness and prosperity. Yet Zion and Jerusalem may be regarded as symbolical of the Church in general. I. JOY IN GOD . There will be "no more weeping." Tears are significant of the lot of humanity; and in the poetry of the Old Testament we hear, as Lord Bacon says, "as many hearse-like airs as carols," and the pencil of the Holy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:19-26

The people of God in their prosperity. These verses are primarily applicable, and they are more or less true as they are applied, to the return of the Jews from captivity, and their residence in their own land. But they find a larger fulfillment in the condition of the Church of Christ in its last days. Possibly they anticipate the felicities of the heavenly future. We refer them to the Church in its prosperity, and conclude— I. THAT THE PEOPLE OF GOD ARE THOSE THAT HAVE... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:23

Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal ; rather, then shall he give rain for thy seed , wherewith thou sowest the ground . God, having forgiven his people, will once more renew the blessings of his ordinary providence, giving them "rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling their hearts with food and gladness" ( Acts 14:17 ). Bread of the increase of the earth ; rather, bread , the produce of the ground ; i.e. ordinary bread, not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 30:23-26

The glories of Christ's kingdom shown in figure. Isaiah gives us several descriptions of Christ's kingdom, all of them more or less allegorical (see Isaiah 4:2-6 ; Isaiah 11:1-9 ; Isaiah 35:1-10 ; Isaiah 60:1-22 ). In the present description all is allegory. The blessings of the kingdom are— I. RICH AND ABUNDANT HARVESTS , by which would seem to be signified a great conversion of the nations by the preaching of the gospel (comp. Matthew 9:1-38 :87, 38; John 4:35 ),... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 30:23

Then shall he give the rain of thy seed - That is, he shall send rain on the seed which is sown. You will be allowed to cultivate the soil without molestation, and God will give you fruitful seasons and abundant harvests. This is a poetic description of a happy or golden age, when there would be peace and prosperity (compare the notes at Isaiah 11:6-7).And bread of the increase of the earth - And bread which the ground shall produce.And it shall be fat and plenteous - It shall be rich and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 30:23-24

Isaiah 30:23-24. Then shall he give thee the rain of thy seed Or rather, to, or for thy seed, namely, when thou hast newly sown it, which was called the former rain; or, such as thy seed requires, which may include both the former and the latter rain. Their sins, the cause of all God’s judgments, being removed by their sincere repentance and God’s gracious pardon, God showers down his blessings upon them. “When he gives them their teachers,” says Henry, “and they give him their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:1-33

The folly of relying on Egypt (30:1-33)All Isaiah’s warnings against an alliance with Egypt are in vain. As he learns that a group of Judean representatives is on its way to Egypt, he points out again how disastrous this alliance will prove to be. Judah’s reliance on Egypt is against God’s will and in the end will bring only disgrace upon Judah (30:1-5).Isaiah pictures the dangerous journey, as a caravan of donkeys and camels carry Judah’s payment through the dry southern region of Judah... read more
