Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:10-12

Isaiah 25:10-12. For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord— In these verses we have a confirmation of the proposition; and they contain two arguments for the confidence and rejoicing of the people of God; the one taken from Moab, Isaiah 25:10-11.; the other from the Babylonians, their true or mystical enemies. The judgment upon Moab is set forth under two figures; the first in the 10th verse, the meaning whereof is, that God would entirely tread down, break, and destroy the power of Moab,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 25:11-12

Moab would try to swim out of his predicament, as he had relied on himself and tried to save himself in the past, but the Lord will punish his clever pride. None of Moab’s defenses against divine judgment will work. The Lord will bring them all down. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 25:12

(12) And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls . . .—Primarily the words, as interpreted by Isaiah 25:10, point to Kir-Moab (Isaiah 15:1) as the stronghold of the nation. Beyond this they predict a like destruction of every stronghold, every rock-built fortress (2 Corinthians 10:5) of the great world-power of which Moab was for the time the symbol. read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 25:1-12

An Act of Faith Isaiah 25:1 I. 'O Lord, Thou art my God.' This is not a prayer, but something higher 'an act of faith'. What do we mean by an act of faith? We mean an expression of faith in which the will has its part. An act of faith should be the utterance of the whole nature, the will giving effect both to the conclusions of the reason and to the desires of the affections. An act of faith seems so simple; it is tremendous, for it involves the operation of the whole soul. II. There is (1)... read more

In chapters 25-27, which may naturally be held to be a continuation of chapter 24, the historical allusions are more numerous. Indeed, it might be... read more

Israel rejoicing after waiting (Isaiah 25:9 ) 4.
