Isaiah 25:12 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 25:9-12

Here is, I. The welcome which the church shall give to these blessings promised in the foregoing verses (Isa. 25:9): It shall be said in that day, with a humble holy triumph and exultation, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him! Thus will the deliverance of the church out of long and sore troubles be celebrated; thus will it be as life from the dead. With such transports of joy and praise will those entertain the glad tidings of the Redeemer who looked for him, and for redemption in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:12

And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down ,.... That is, their high and, fenced walls, which were about their cities, the fortifications of them; these should be destroyed by the Lord, be battered and brought down, not being able to stand against his mighty power. The Targum renders it, "the mighty city, the cities of the nations;' and may design the city of Rome, and the cities of the nations that shall fall at the pouring out of the seventh and last vial, ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

ISAIAH 'S SONG OF PRAISE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF GOD 'S KINGDOM . AS in Isaiah 12:1-6 , after describing the first setting up of Christ's kingdom and the call of the Gentiles, the prophet broke out into song, through joy at the tidings he was commissioned to announce, so now, having proclaimed the final establishment of the same kingdom in the heavenly Zion, he is again carried away by the sense of exultant gladness into a fresh Lobgesang , which he utters in his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

The place of thanksgiving in the religious life. It is generally agreed by Christians that the religious life embraces a considerable number of separate duties of a strictly religious character. Among these the first place is ordinarily assigned to prayer; the second to reading of the Scriptures; the third, perhaps, to meditation; and so forth. But it is not always, or indeed very often, that a distinct position, or a very prominent position, is assigned to praise and thanksgiving. Prayer is... read more

After thanksgiving for deliverance in the past, and commemoration of blessings in the present, confidence is expressed in the future. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9-12

Song of the redeemed. I. THE STATE OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE . They will be in the joyous realization of long-awaited blessings. A brief strain from their hymn is given— "Lo! here is our God! For him we have waited that he should save us; This is Jehovah, for whom we have waited; Let us exult and rejoice in his salvation!" As "a sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things," so the crown of joy is the recollection of past miseries in the hour of deliverance. And... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:12

The fortress of the high fort … shall he bring down , etc.; rather, hath he bowed down , laid low , brought down to earth . The past mercies of God in abasing the pride of the Church's foes, rather than any further mercies of the same kind, seem to be here spoken of. Mr. Cheyne suggests that the verse is out of place. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 25:12

And the fortress ... - Thy strong defenses shall be destroyed. This is spoken of Moab (compare the notes at Isaiah 15:1-9;Isaiah 16:1-14), and is designed to be emblematic of the enemies of the people of God (compare the notes at Isaiah 34:0) The repetition of the expressions ‘bring down,’ ‘lay low,’ and ‘bring to the ground,’ is designed to make the sentence emphatic, and to indicate that it would certainly be accomplished. read more

Isaiah 25:11-12. And he Either, 1st, Moab, who, being plunged into a sea of troubles, shall endeavour to swim out of it, but to no purpose; or, 2d, The Lord, (who is designed by this pronoun he, both in the latter clause of this verse, and in the following verse,) whose power they shall be no more able to resist than the waters can resist a man that swims, who, with great facility, divides them hither and thither. The former sense is adopted by Bishop Lowth, who says, “I cannot conceive... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

24:1-27:13 FINAL JUDGMENT AND SALVATIONThe judgment of various contemporary nations leads the prophet to consider God’s final great judgment on the world. Naturally, his illustrations are taken from the world that he knew, and the nations he mentions are those of his time, but the principles of judgment and salvation that he presents are those of the unchangeable God. They will find their fullest expression in God’s mighty triumph at the end of the world’s history.Some will mourn, others... read more
