Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-22

The prophet, having reproved those that made a jest of the word of God, here goes on to reprove those that made a jest of the judgments of God, and set them at defiance; for he is a jealous God, and w 6716 ill not suffer either his ordinances or his providences to be brought into contempt. He addressed himself to the scornful men who ruled in Jerusalem, who were the magistrates of the city, Isa. 28:14. It is bad with a people when their thrones of judgment become the seats of the scornful,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:16

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ,.... In order to show what is the true foundation of hope and trust for security from death and hell, and to convince men of their vain and false confidence, as well as to comfort the people of God, such as truly feared him in Jerusalem; who, bearing the judgment denounced, might conclude that they were going to be cut off from being a nation, and that the family and kingdom of David would be at an end, and then where was the promise of the Messiah?... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:17

Judgment also will I lay to the line ,.... A metaphor taken from builders, who in building use the line and plummet to carry on their work even and regular, retaining such stones as agree thereunto, and rejecting such as do not; signifying, that in the spiritual building, where Christ is the foundation and cornerstone, such as are built thereon shall continue and grow up regularly into a holy temple; but those that set at nought this precious stone, and build upon the sandy foundation of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:18

And your covenant with death shall be disannulled ,.... Or, "be besmeared" F24 וכפר "Heb. oblinetur", Piscator; "quasi pica illita tabulae literaeque foederis incrustentur, inducantur ac dispereant", Gusset. Comment. Ebr. p. 397. , or daubed over, as the ark was with pitch, Genesis 6:14 where the same word is used as here; so that it shall not be legible, as any writing that is blotted out by ink, or any other liquor, so that it cannot be read; in like manner this their covenant... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:19

From the time that it goeth forth, it shall take you ,.... Or, "as soon as it passeth through" F26 מדי עברו "mox ut pertransierit", Tigurine version. , "it shall take you away"; as soon as it begins to overflow, and as it goes along, it shall make clear work, and carry you away with it; you will not be able to resist it, to withstand its motion, and stop its progress; but will be borne down by it, and carried away with it, either destroyed by it at once, or carried into captivity;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:20

For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it ,.... When a bed is short, a man cannot lie at his full length, and at ease: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it ; when the bedclothes are narrow a man cannot cover himself with them, so as to be warm and comfortable. These proverbial expressions are interpreted by Kimchi of Jerusalem, when besieged by the Assyrian army, when the inhabitants of it were much straitened, distressed, and made... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:21

For the Lord shall rise up as in Mount Perazim ,.... Where the Lord broke forth on David's enemies the Philistines, as the breach of waters; see Isaiah 28:17 and destroyed them, from whence the place had the name of Baalperazim, 2 Samuel 5:20 . The Targum is, "for as the mountain which moved when the glory of the Lord was revealed in the days of Uzziah the king;' referring to the earthquake in his time, Amos 1:1 , he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon ; Josephus Ben... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:22

Now therefore be ye not mockers ,.... At the words of the prophets, and the judgments denounced by them, which is very common, when they are deferred, and not immediately executed: this was the case before the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans, and one cause of it, 2 Chronicles 36:16 and also by the Romans; see Acts 13:41 , lest your bands be made strong ; punishment become heavier, and more grievous; and so the Syriac version renders it; as prisoners that attempt to make... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:16

Behold, I lay in Zion - See the notes on Genesis 49:32 ; Psalm 118:22 ; (note); Matthew 21:42 ; (note); Acts 4:11 ; (note); Romans 9:33 ; (note); Romans 10:11 ; (note); Ephesians 2:20 ; (note); 1 Peter 2:6-8 ; (note). Kimchi understands this of Hezekiah; but it most undoubtedly belongs to Jesus Christ alone; and his application of it to himself, even the Jews could not contest. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:18

Your covenant with death shall be disannulled "Your covenant with death shall be broken" - For כפר caphar , which seems not to belong to this place, the Chaldee reads תפר taphar , which is approved by Houbigant and Secker. See Jeremiah 33:21 , where the very same phrase is used. See Prelim. Dissert. p. l. read more
