Isaiah 1:28

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 1:21-30

Here, I. The woeful degeneracy of Judah and Jerusalem is sadly lamented. See, 1. What the royal city had been, a faithful city, faithful to God and the interests of his kingdom among men, faithful to the nation and its public interests. It was full of judgment; justice was duly administered upon the thrones of judgment which were set there, the thrones of the house of David, Ps. 122:5. Men were generally honest in their dealings, and abhorred to do an unjust thing. Righteousness lodged in it,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 1:28

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together ,.... Of the beast and false prophet, of the followers of antichrist, the man of sin, who are transgressors of the law of God, and sinners against the Lord; the destruction of these, or the breaking of them into shivers, as the word F15 שבר "contritio sive confractio", Syr. signifies, see Revelation 2:27 will be at the time of Zion's redemption, and make a part of it; and it shall be all at once and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 1:21-31

Divine dealing with the degenerate. We have here— I. DEPLORABLE DEGENERACY . 1. Degeneracy of character . "How is the faithful city become an harlot!" etc. ( Isaiah 1:21 , Isaiah 1:23 ). There is nothing more melancholy than the sight of a people or city or of a human being fallen from spiritual and moral integrity to a depth of sin and folly—devoutness exchanged for impiety, conscientiousness for unscrupulousness, self-restraint and self-respect for laxity or even for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 1:24-31

THE DECLARATION OF GOD 'S JUDGMENT . It is foreknown to God that Israel will not repent. He therefore fulminates his judgment; which, however, is still conditional, so far as individuals are con-corned. His vengeance will fall upon the land; but the result will be twofold. Destruction will come upon the unrighteous and the sinners ( Isaiah 1:28 )—they will be "consumed" ( Isaiah 1:28 ), and "confounded" ( Isaiah 1:29 ); but there will be some on whom the punishment will have a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 1:24-31

Sentence passed. I. THE JUDGE . He is "Jehovah of hosts, the Strong One of Israel." He saith, " By the strength of my hand I have done it" ( Isaiah 10:13 ). He has power to carry out his sentences. The holy fire of his indignation breaks forth like a volcanic flood. From one point of view evil men must be conceived as the enemies of God, and their punishment as his vengeance. If alone dwelt upon, such a representation becomes false, because it ignores the aspect of Divine love,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 1:28

Transgressors … sinners … they that forsake the Lord (comp. Isaiah 1:2 and Isaiah 1:4 ). These are scarcely distinct classes—rather different names for the ungodly. All of them, by whatever name they were called, would perish "together." read more

Isaiah 1:27-28. Zion shall be redeemed Shall be delivered from all their enemies and calamities; with judgment By the exercise of God’s strict justice in destroying the obdurate; by purging out those wicked and incorrigible Jews, who, by their sins, hindered the deliverance of the people; and by punishing and destroying their unmerciful enemies who kept them in cruel bondage; and her converts Hebrew, ושׁביה , her returners, those of them who shall come out of captivity into their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 1:10-31

Religious and moral corruption (1:10-31)No doubt the people thought they were pleasing God by offering sacrifices, attending public worship services, and keeping the special Israelite feasts; but because their everyday lives were full of sin, their religious exercises were hateful to God. No matter how correct the form of worship, God will not accept it unless the people show a corresponding zeal for right behaviour (10-15).The people must turn from their selfishness and treachery, and begin to... read more
