以赛亚书 42:23 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 42:18-25

The prophet, having spoken by way of comfort and encouragement to the believing Jews who waited for the consolation of Israel, here turns to those among them who were unbelieving, for their conviction and humiliation. Among those who were in captivity in Babylon there were some who were as the evil figs in Jeremiah's vision, who were sent thither for their hurt, to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth, for a reproach and a proverb, Jer. 24:9. In them there was a type of the Jews who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 42:23

Who among you will give ear to this ?.... To this prophecy of your destruction, and to what follows concerning it: who will hearken and hear for the time to come ? and receive instruction from hence, and repent and reform? none at all; so blind, and deaf, and stupid, were they both before, and at their destruction, and even ever since; they take no notice of the hand of God upon them, nor hearken to the rod, any more than to the word of God; which seems to be what is meant by "the time... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:10-25

A new song to Jehovah. Caught up in his ecstasy to a high place of vision, the prophet sees all the nations of mankind deriving blessing from the ministry of Israel, and calls upon them to join in a song of praise. God's goodness in providing a Redeemer demands the thanksgiving of all the world. I. THE SONG AND THE SINGERS . The new song is named in the Psalter ( Psalms 96:1 ; Psalms 98:1 ), meaning a song inspired by the sense of new mercies. All parts of the earth are to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:18-25

ADDRESS TO CAPTIVE ISRAEL , CALLING UPON THEM TO TURN TO GOD , AND REMINDING THEM THAT THEY HAVE DESERVED THEIR AFFLICTIONS . By some critics the earlier verses of this passage ( Isaiah 42:19-21 ) are regarded as having reference to the "Servant of the Lord" depicted in Isaiah 42:1-7 , and as calling on the captive Jews to consider his voluntary humiliation, and the object of it. But this view seems to be strained. It requires "deaf" and "blind' to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:18-25

The blindness of Israel. The "blindness" of Israel is a subject of continual remark in Scripture from the time of Moses ( Deuteronomy 28:28 , Deuteronomy 28:29 ) to that of St. Paul ( Romans 11:25 ). Four things may be noted of it. I. IT IS SELF - CAUSED . The Israelites "blinded themselves," and so became blind ( Isaiah 29:9 , with the comment). They "winked with their eyes," closed them against the light which shone on them from on high, and thus gradually by disuse... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:19-25

(latter part) The hidden hurt. I. THERE ARE PENALTIES WHICH ARE PALPABLE TO EVERY EYE . When vice or crime leads down to poverty, or to serious sickness, or to desertion and consequent loneliness, or to confinement in prison, there is no possibility of mistake. God is "pouring out his anger" against the transgressors of his Law; he is "magnifying his Law, and making it honourable" ( Isaiah 42:21 ). But— II. THERE ARE PENALTIES WHICH ARE UNDETECTED EVEN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:23

Who among you will give ear? Surely there are some among you, less hardened than the rest, who will take advantage of my warning, and repent at this, the eleventh hour. God's arm was straitened; the people could not be delivered out of captivity unless they ceased in large numbers to be "blind" and "deaf" — unless they listened to the prophet's words, and profited by them. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 42:23

Who among you will give ear to this? - Who is there in the nation that will be so warned by the judgments of God, that he will attend to the lessons which he designs to teach, and reform his life, and return to him? It is implied by these questions that such ought to be the effect; it is implied also that they were so sunken and abandoned that they would not do it. These judgments were a loud call on the nation to turn to God, and, in time to come, to avoid the sins which had made it necessary... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 42:22-24

Isaiah 42:22-24. But this is a people robbed and spoiled Notwithstanding the great respect which God hath had, and still hath, for his people, it is evident he hath severely scourged them for their sins. They are all of them snared in holes, &c. They have been taken in snares made by their own hands, and, by God’s just judgment, delivered into the hands of their enemies, and by them cast into pits, or dungeons, and prisons. And none saith, Restore None afforded them either pity or... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 42:1-25

Success and failure of God’s servant (42:1-25)In the previous chapter the servant of Yahweh was identified with Israel (see 41:8). Israel is probably again the servant who is identified here, but the ideals outlined in this song never became a reality in the nation. They did, to some extent, characterize the faithful remnant, but they found their perfect expression only in the one who embodied the ideals God desired, Jesus Christ. The prophet foresees that this servant of Yahweh, though... read more
