The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:16

Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone . In contrast with the insecure refuge and false ground of confidence whereon the nobles relied, the prophet puts forward the one sure "Rock" on which complete dependence may be placed—which he declares that Jehovah is laying, or "has laid," in Zion as a tried stone, a precious corner stone , a sure foundation. The imagery is, no doubt, drawn from the practice of Oriental kings, and notably Solomon, to employ foundation-stones of enormous size... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:16

Christ the Cornerstone. "Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious Corner-stone, a sure Foundation." This stone we all know to be Christ, concerning whom all the prophets did testify. It is historically true that the Stone was laid in Zion, and what we have to treat of is the house. Here is the Foundation. Firm, as the eternal Rock, with its roots in God's own everlasting nature. The Foundation is not created ; it is . God sends forth his Son to be the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:16

The sure Foundation. "A precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation" (Revised Version). It is characteristic of prophetic messages that, however severely sins may be denounced, and judgment declared, in the very midst of the message some word of love and hope and cheer is put in for the sake of the true and faithful ones. God is ever mindful of his elect remnant. Those who are striving to be obedient and righteous in a degenerate age, and in the midst of abounding self-indulgence, are within his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:16-22

The judgments of God. When human folly has gone to so great a length ( Isaiah 28:15 ), it may look out for the coming of Divine judgment; for this cannot be long delayed. And when we look we find— I. THE SEVERITY OF GOD 'S VISITATION . 1. It will correspond closely with man ' s guilt , as if measured with line and plummet ( Isaiah 28:17 ); it will be broad as its breadth, deep as its depth, enlarged to its magnitude; more severe as men's guilt is more wanton, most... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:15

We have made a covenant with death - We are not to suppose that they had formally said this, but that their conduct was as if they had said it; they lived as securely as if they had entered into a compact with death not to destroy them, and with hell not to devour them. The figure is a very bold one, and is designed to express the extraordinary stupidity of the nation. It is most strikingly descriptive of the great mass of people. They are as little anxious about death and hell as if they had... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:16

Therefore thus saith the Lord - God. This verse is introductory to the solemn threatening which follows. Its design seems to be this. The prophet was about to utter an awful threatening of the judgment of God upon the nation. It might be supposed, perhaps, that the intention was completely to sweep them, and destroy them - that the threatened calamity would remove every vestige of the Jewish people and of the true religion together. To meet this supposition, God says that this should not occur.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:14-15

Isaiah 28:14-15. Wherefore hear, ye scornful men Who make a mock at sin, and at God’s word and threatenings, and who doubt not that by your crafty counsels, and human efforts, you shall escape God’s judgments; who have said In your hearts; we have made a covenant with death, &c. We are as safe from death and hell, or the grave, (as the word שׁאול here means,) as if they had entered into covenant with us, that they would not invade us. “To be in covenant with any thing, is a... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:16

Isaiah 28:16. Therefore, thus saith the Lord Because your refuges are vain and deceitful; therefore I will direct you to a better and surer refuge, which will never fail those that trust to it, which God hath prepared in Zion. But if you shall despise and reject that refuge, which I now offer to you all; if you will not believe, then know, that I will lay judgment to the line, &c., as it follows, Isaiah 28:17. Some think that in this famous prophecy, Behold I lay in Zion, &c.,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-29

28:1-33:24 HEZEKIAH AND THE ASSYRIANSBefore reading Chapters 28-33, readers should be familiar with the historical background found in the introduction under the heading ‘Judah’s new policies under Hezekiah’. Hezekiah reversed the policies of his father Ahaz. Whereas Ahaz sought help from Assyria to oppose Israel and Syria, Hezekiah sought help from Egypt to oppose Assyria. Isaiah opposed both policies alike. Faith in God, not reliance on foreign powers, is Judah’s only hope for survival. The... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Isaiah 28:15

made = cut, or solemnized. made a covenant. It is alleged that the use of the word "covenant" is confined to Jehovah by the "second Isaiah" (i.e. after Isaiah 40:0 ): but it is so used before that (See Isaiah 24:5 ; Isaiah 33:8 ), But why should not a covenant be made with, and by, other parties as it is here in Isaiah 28:15 , Isaiah 28:18 ?
