Isaiah 10:27 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 10:24-34

The prophet, in his preaching, distinguishes between the precious and the vile; for God in his providence, even in the same providence, does so. He speaks terror, in Sennacherib's invasion, to the hypocrites, who were the people of God's wrath, Isa. 10:6. But here he speaks comfort to the sincere, who were the people of God's love. The judgment was sent for the sake of the former; the deliverance was wrought for the sake of the latter. Here we have, I. An exhortation to God's people not to be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:27

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder ,.... The tax or tribute imposed upon Hezekiah by the king of Assyria, 2 Kings 18:14 , and his yoke from off thy neck ; the same with the burden; unless it means also the subjection of the cities of Judah, which were taken by the Assyrian; and indeed it may be extended further, and be considered as a prophecy not merely of deliverance from the present distress, but from the future... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:27

From off thy shoulder - Bishop Lowth translates the whole verse thus: - "And it shall come to pass in that day, His burden shall be removed from off thy shoulder; And his yoke off thy neck: Yea, the yoke shall perish from off your shoulders.' On which he gives us the following note: I follow here the Septuagint, who for שמן מפני mippeney shamen read משכמיכם mishshichmeychem , απο των ωμων ὑμων , from your shoulders, not being able to make any good sense out of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:20-34

CONSOLATION FOR THE FAITHFUL IN ISRAEL . The destruction of Assyria shall be followed—how soon, is not said—by the return of a "remnant of Israel," not so much to their own land, as to God ( Isaiah 10:20 , Isaiah 10:21 ). The remnant, however, shall be but a remnant—judgment shall have overtaken the balk of the people ( Isaiah 10:22 , Isaiah 10:23 ). Still, there is reason for the faithful to take courage and be of good heart; Assyria will shortly receive a check ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:24-34

The mighty laid low. I. ENCOURAGEMENT AGAINST FEAR . Let not Judah fear the Assyrian, who, like the Egyptian in the days of yore, wields over her the rod of the slave-driver. In a short time, the hot tide of Divine wrath will pass from Israel, and the Assyrians will in turn feel it. The scourge that was laid in the ancient time on the back of the Egyptian oppressor will be brandished over the heads of the Assyrians. Their burden will fall from Judah's shoulder, from Judah's neck the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:24-34

Rout and re-establishment: Divine interposition. I. THE APPEARANCE OF OVERWHELMING POWER ON THE SIDE OF SIN . The prophet gives a vivid description in Isaiah 10:28 -38 of the triumphant march of the Assyrian. Everybody and everything yields at his approach; opposition melts before him; his adversary is in his power; already his hand is on the prize he seeks. Sin often seems to be on a march that is irresistible, and to be secure of victory. Numbers, wealth, learning,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:27

The yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing ; literally, before the oil ; i.e. "the Anointed One"—primarily Hezekiah, "the anointed of the Lord" ( 2 Samuel 19:21 ; 2 Kings 11:12 ; Lamentations 4:20 ) for the time being, but with a further refer-once to the Messiah, who breaks all the bands of the wicked asunder, and casts away their cords from him ( Psalms 2:2 , Psalms 2:3 ); and who is represented by each prince of the house of David, as he was by David himself. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:27

Blessings through the anointing. Blessings come to men " through the anointing" in a twofold way: I. THROUGH THE ANOINTING OF JESUS . The anointing of Jesus was that complete sanctification of his human nature by the Holy Spirit, which resulted from his most close and perfect union with the other Persons of the ever-blessed Trinity, whereby his human nature was never left an instant without the Spirit's gracious influence, but was ever, as it developed itself, sanctified in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:27

The power of the anointing. This verse is an exceedingly difficult one , because containing a poetical figure which modern associations do not readily explain. Literally, it seems to read, "The yoke shall be destroyed from before the oil," or "the fat." For various explanations see the Expository portion of the Commentary. What is clear is, that the yoke referred to is the bondage of Assyria laid on the house of David. This yoke shall be presently removed. The deep reason for the removal... read more

His burden shall be taken away - The oppressions and exactions of the Assyrian.From off thy shoulder - We bear a burden on the shoulder; and hence, any grievous exaction or oppression is represented as borne upon the shoulder.And his yoke ... - Another image denoting deliverance from oppression and calamity.And the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing - In the interpretation of these words, expositors have greatly differed.
