John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:9

That this is a rebellious people ,.... This, with what follows, is what the Lord would have written and engrossed, and remain for ever; or this is a reason why he would have it, for so the words be rendered, "for", or "because, this is a rebellious people F12 כי עם "nam populus", Forerius, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius; "quia", Pagninus, Montanus. "; rebellious against God and his commands; they are called "rebellious children" before, Isaiah 30:1 and, as it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:10

Which say to the seers, See not ,.... The same with the prophets in the next clause, which explains this: and to the Prophets, prophesy not unto us right things ; things agreeable to the mind and will of God, and which ought to be done; not that they, in so many words, said this, but this was the language of their hearts and actions. The Targum is, "who say to the prophets, prophesy not, and to the teachers, teach us not the doctrine of the law:' speak unto us smooth things ; that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:11

Get ye out of the way: turn aside out of the path ,.... These two expressions mean one and the same thing; either that the prophets would go out of their usual way of threatening ruin and destruction; or that they would go out of the way of the people, and not stand in it to hinder them pursuing their own lusts and pleasures; or that they would go out of the right way, as the Targum, which is God's way, and join with them; or, at least, connive at, and indulge them, in their ways: cause... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:12

Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel ,.... The prophet introduces his message with the phrase they objected to: ministers of the word must not seek to please men, nor should they be deterred from the use of phrases, because disliked by natural men: as, in our days, men do not love to hear the name of Christ so often mentioned, or his Gospel, or the glorious truths of it; but the use of them should not be left off on that account, but rather they should be the more inculcated, as we... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:13

Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall ,.... Or, "as a falling breach" F13 כפרץ נופל "sicut ruptura cadens", Montanus, Cocceius, De Dieu. Ben Melech observes, that a breach is after the building is fallen; for the breach does not fall, but it is said on account of the end of it, or what it is at last, as in Isa. xlvii. 2. "grind meal" or "flour". ; contempt of the word of God, and trusting in wickedness, rejecting the counsel of God, and placing... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:14

And he shall break it as the breaking of the potter's vessel ,.... That is, their confidence in an arm of flesh, and they that place it there; and this either God shall do, or the enemy, and God by him; or rather it may he rendered impersonally, "it shall be broken"; and may refer to the wall to which the ruin of this people is compared, that that when it falls shall be broke to pieces, as a potter's vessel is when it falls upon a pavement, or is dashed against anything, or, struck with a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 30:15

For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel ,.... This is still repeated, though displeasing to the carnal Jews, who, notwithstanding their ill behaviour to the Lord, condescends to give them the best advice, as follows: in returning and rest shall ye be saved ; or "may be saved" F15 תושעון "servaremini", Piscator, Gataker. ; this is the right and the only way, namely, by "returning" from their evil ways, particularly their purpose of going to Egypt for help, and by... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:1

And that cover with a covering "Who ratify covenants" - Hebrews "Who pour out a libation." Sacrifice and libation were ceremonies constantly used, in ancient times by most nations in the ratifying of covenants: a libation therefore is used for a covenant, as in Greek the word σπονδη , for the same reason, stands for both. This seems to be the most easy explication of the Hebrew phrase, and it has the authority of the Septuagint, εποιησατε συνθηκας . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:4

Hanes - Six MSS. of Kennicott's, and perhaps six others, with four of De Rossi's, read חנם chinnam , in vain, for הנס Hanes ; and so also the Septuagint, who read likewise יגעו yageu , labored, for יגיעו yaggiu , arrived at. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 30:5

Were - ashamed - Eight MSS. (one ancient) of Kennicott's, and ten of De Rossi's, read הביש hobish , without א aleph . So the Chaldee and Vulgate. But a shame "But proved even a shame" - Four MSS. (three ancient) after כי ki , add אם im , unless, which seems wanted to complete the phrase in its usual form. read more
