Isaiah 28:6 - Exposition

For a spirit of judgment . How far Judah had departed from the spirit of just judgment was made apparent in the very opening chapter of Isaiah's prophecy (verses 15-27). To him that sitteth in judgment ; rather, that sitteth on the judgment-seat (Cheyne). For strength to them that turn the battle to the gate ; i.e. "to those who repulse an enemy, and drive him back to his own city's gate".
