以赛亚书 38:10-13 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 38:9-22

We have here Hezekiah's thanksgiving-song, which he penned, by divine direction, after his recovery. He might have taken some of the psalms of his father David, and made use of them for his purpose; he might have found many very pertinent ones. He appointed the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, 2 Chron. 29:30. But the occasion here was extraordinary, and, his heart being full of devout affections, he would not confine himself to the compositions he had, though of divine... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:10

I said, in the cutting off of my days ,.... When he was told that he should die, and he believed he should; this he calls a "cutting off" in allusion to the weaver's web, Isaiah 38:12 and a cutting off "his days", he being now in the prime of his age, about thirty nine or forty years of age, and not arrived to the common period of life, and to which, according to his constitution, and the course of nature, he might have attained. The Jews call such a death a cutting off, that is, by the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:11

I said, I shall not see the Lord, even the Lord in the land of the living ,.... Not any more, in this world, though in the other, and that more clearly, even face to face: his meaning is, that he should no more see him in the glass of the word; no more praise him in his house; worship him in his temple; enjoy him in his ordinances; and see his beauty, power, and glory, in the sanctuary; and confess unto him, and praise his name F7 Ben Melech observes, that seeing or appearing before the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:12

Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent ,.... Or, my habitation F11 דורי "habitatio mea", Vatablus, Junius & Tremellius. ; meaning the earthly house of his tabernacle, his body; this was just going, in his apprehension, to be unpinned, and removed like a shepherd's tent, that is easily taken down, and removed from place to place. Some understand it of the men of his age or generation; so the Targum, "from the children of my generation my days are taken... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:13

I reckoned till morning ,.... Or, "I set my time till the morning F13 שויתי עד בקר "statui, vel posui usque ad mane", Pagninus, Montanus; "constitui rursum terminum usque mane", Vatablus. "; he fixed and settled it in his mind that he could live no longer than to the morning, if he lived so long; he thought he should have died before the night came on, and, now it was come, the utmost he could propose to himself was to live till morning; that was the longest time he could... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 38:11

The Lord "Jehovah" - יה Yah , יה Yah , seems to be יהוה Yehovah , in MS. Bodl., and it was so at first written in another. So the Syriac. See Houbigant. I believe יהוה Yehovah was the original reading. See the note on Isaiah 12:2 ; (note). read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 38:12

Mine age - is removed from me as a shepherd's tent - רעי roi is put for רעה roeh , say the rabbis (Sal. Den Melec on the place); but much more probably is written imperfectly for רעים roim , shepherds. See note on Isaiah 5:1 . I shall be removed from this state to another, as a shepherd removes his tent from one place to another for the sake of his flock. Is not this a strong intimation of his belief in a future state? I read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 38:13

The last line of the foregoing verse תשלימני לילה עד מיום miyom ad layelah tashlimeni , "In the course of the day thou wilt finish my web; "or, as the common version has it, "From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me, "is not repeated at the end of this verse in the Syriac version; and a MS. omits it. It seems to have been inserted a second time in the Hebrew text by mistake. I reckoned till morning, etc. "I roared until the morning like the lion" - For שויתי shivvithi ,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 38:9-15

Health and sickness. This touching psalm of Hezekiah, written in the day of returning strength, when mental effort became possible and perhaps enjoyable to him, may teach us many things. I. THAT OUR HEALTH IS NOT IN OUR OWN HANDS . There is a distinct note of disappointment here. The king had evidently set his heart on a long life, and was hurt in his soul that his days were cut in twain. It seemed an abrupt, unnatural termination. He was deprived of that which he might... read more
