이사야 47:11-15 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 47:7-15

Babylon, now doomed to ruin, is here justly upbraided with her pride, luxury, and security, in the day of her prosperity, and the confidence she had in her own wisdom and forecast, and particularly in the prognostications and counsels of the astrologers. These things are mentioned both to justify God in bringing these judgments upon her and to mortify her, and put her to so much the greater shame, under these judgments; for, when God comes forth to take vengeance, glory belongs to him, but... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 47:11

Therefore shall evil come upon thee ,.... The evil of punishment, a great calamity; so Nebuchadnezzar foretold, as Abydenus relates F15 Ib. c. 41. p. 456. , that συμφορη , a calamity, should come upon the Babylonians; a day of evil, because of the above sins Babylon was guilty of: thou shall not know from whence it riseth ; from what quarter it will come, little dreaming of Cyrus, with whom the Chaldeans had had no quarrel. So mystical Babylon will not know from whence her ruin... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 47:12

Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries ,.... An ironic expression, deriding those evil arts, bidding defiance to them, calling upon the masters of them to do their utmost by them: wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth ; from the infancy of their state; as soon as their monarchy was founded, or they became a people, they were given to these practices, and were famous for them; and in which, no doubt, many among them were brought up from their youth;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 47:13

Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels ,.... Taken of astrologers, diviners, and soothsayers; who were never able to give any satisfactory answers to questions put to them, or to give good advice in cases of emergency; as appears from Nebuchadnezzar's consultation with them about his dream; and Belshazzar's about the handwriting upon the wall, which was the very night that the city was taken, Daniel 2:2 , let now the astrologers ; or, "viewers of the heavens" F19 הוברי ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 47:14

Behold, they shall be as stubble, the fire shall burn them ,.... That is, these astrologers and diviners shall be like stubble; weak as that, as the Targum; they shall be no more able to stand before the fire of divine wrath, or before the judgments of God, by the hands of the Medes and Persians, than stubble can stand before a consuming fire: they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame ; from those dreadful calamities that shall come upon them like flames of fire; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 47:15

Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured ,.... In training them up in those arts, and in consulting with them in cases of difficulty; in which they were of no service, and now in time of danger as useless as stubble, or a blaze of straw: even thy merchants from thy youth ; either the above astrologers and diviners, who had been with them from the beginning of their state; and who had made merchandise of them, and were become rich as merchants by telling fortunes, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 47:11

Thou shalt not know from whence it riseth "Thou shalt not know how to deprecate" - שחרה shachrah ; so the Chaldee renders it, which is approved by Jarchi on the place; and Michaelis Epim. in Praelect. xix.; see Psalm 78:34 . Videtur in fine hujus commatis deese verbum, ut hoc membrum prioribus respondeat . "A word appears to be wanting at the end of this clause to connect it properly with the two preceding." - Secker. In order to set in a proper light this judicious remark, it is... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 47:15

To his quarter "To his own business" - לעברו leebro . Expositors give no very good account of this word in this place. In a MS. it was at first לעבדו leabdo , to his servant or work, which is probably the true reading. The sense however is pretty much the same with the common interpretation: "Every one shall turn aside to his own business; none shall deliver thee." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 47:1-15

A SONG OF TRIUMPH OVER THE FALL OF BABYLON . The song divides itself into four strophes, or stanzas—the first one of four verses ( Isaiah 47:1-4 ); the second of three ( Isaiah 47:5-7 ); the third of four ( Isaiah 47:8-11 ); and the fourth also of four ( Isaiah 47:12-15 ). The speaker is either Jehovah (see Isaiah 47:3 , ad fin. ) or "a chorus of celestial beings" (Cheyne), bent on expressing their sympathy with Israel read more
