Isaiah 33:5 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-12

Here we have, I. The proud and false Assyrian justly reckoned with for all his fraud and violence, and laid under a woe, Isa. 33:1. Observe, 1. The sin which the enemy had been guilty of. He had spoiled the people of God, and made a prey of them, and herein had broken his treaty of peace with them, and dealt treacherously. Truth and mercy are two such sacred things, and have so much of God in them, that those cannot but be under the wrath of God that make conscience of neither, but are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:5

The Lord is exalted ,.... These are the words of the church, or of true believers, setting the praise and glory of God, on account of the victory and spoil of their enemies; by which the Lord is exalted, magnified, and honoured, as he will be in the hearts and mouths of his people when these times shall come; see Revelation 11:15 this will be true of Christ, and indeed this will be the time when he, and he alone, shall be exalted, Isaiah 2:17 , for he dwelleth on high ; in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-6

SECTION X. A PROPHECY OF JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA ( Isaiah 33:1-24 .). THE JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA AND DELIVERANCE OF JERUSALEM , STATED GENERALLY . Events had progressed since the preceding prophecies were delivered. The negotiations carried on with Sennacherib had been futile ( Isaiah 33:7 ), the heavy fine imposed and paid ( 2 Kings 18:14 ) had been of no avail ( Isaiah 33:18 ); the Assyrian monarch was still dissatisfied, and threatened a second siege.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-6

Jehovah a Refuge. It is "Israel's extremity, but God's opportunity." Retribution is about to fall on Assyria; salvation and every resource is to be found in Jehovah. I. WOE TO ASSYRIA . This land appears under the image of a rapacious spoiler. The time is about B.C. 700, and the allusion is to Sennacherib and his army, who had advanced on a plundering and destroying course. The tables are to be turned, and the greedy conqueror (of. 2 Kings 18:14 , 2 Kings 18:15 ) was to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:5

The Lord is exalted . His destruction of the Assyrian host is an exaltation of God; i.e. it causes him to be exalted in the thoughts of those who have cognizance of the fact (comp. Exodus 15:14-16 ; Psalms 96:3-10 , etc.). It is an indication to them that he has his dwelling on high, and is the true King of heaven. He hath filled Zion with judgment , etc. (comp. Isaiah 32:15-17 ). The destruction is, in part, the result, in part the cause, of the Jews once more turning to God,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:5-6

A wise nation (Church). These verses supply us with three features by which a nation or Church that is possessed of true wisdom will be characterized. I. A PERVADING SENSE OF GOD —of his greatness, his power, his righteousness. "The Lord is exalted; he dwelleth on high; he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness." The result of the deliverance wrought by Jehovah would be the creation of this devout sentiment. The holy nation, the Church after the heart of its Divine... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 33:5

The Lord is exalted - (compare Psalms 97:9). The prophet here introduces a chorus of the Jews, celebrating the praises of God for delivering them from the Assyrian.He hath filled Zion with judgment - That is, the effect of his destroying his enemies will be to fill Jerusalem with reverence for his name. The deliverance would be so signal, and the manifestation of the divine mercy so great, that the effect would be that the nation would turn to God, and acknowledge his gracious interposition... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 33:5-6

Isaiah 33:5-6. The Lord is exalted By the destruction of so potent an army, and by the defence of his people.

He hath fulfilled Or, he will fill Zion Or Jerusalem; with judgment and righteousness That is, either, 1st, With a glorious instance of his just judgment against the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-24

Assyria defeated; Jerusalem blessed (33:1-24)In speaking again about the current situation, Isaiah announces God’s judgment on the Assyrians. They have plundered greedily and acted treacherously (33:1). Isaiah cries to God to save Jerusalem, so that the enemy armies will flee and the Jerusalemites can seize the goods left behind (2-4). Assured that God will act, the prophet praises him before the actual victory. God gives his people security and wisdom, and they respond with reverence and trust... read more
