Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-22

The prophet, having reproved those that made a jest of the word of God, here goes on to reprove those that made a jest of the judgments of God, and set them at defiance; for he is a jealous God, and w 6716 ill not suffer either his ordinances or his providences to be brought into contempt. He addressed himself to the scornful men who ruled in Jerusalem, who were the magistrates of the city, Isa. 28:14. It is bad with a people when their thrones of judgment become the seats of the scornful,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:15

Because ye have said ,.... Within themselves; they thought so, if they did not say it in express words; and their conduct and behaviour showed that these were the sentiments and presumptions of their minds: We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement : as safe from death, and secure from hell, or the grave, as if a covenant and compact had been formally entered into between them. The phrases are expressive of their being fearless of them, and of their confidence... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:16

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ,.... In order to show what is the true foundation of hope and trust for security from death and hell, and to convince men of their vain and false confidence, as well as to comfort the people of God, such as truly feared him in Jerusalem; who, bearing the judgment denounced, might conclude that they were going to be cut off from being a nation, and that the family and kingdom of David would be at an end, and then where was the promise of the Messiah?... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:15

A covenant with death - To be in covenant with, is a kind of proverbial expression to denote perfect security from evil and mischief of any sort: - "For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee." Job 5:23 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:16

Behold, I lay in Zion - See the notes on Genesis 49:32 ; Psalm 118:22 ; (note); Matthew 21:42 ; (note); Acts 4:11 ; (note); Romans 9:33 ; (note); Romans 10:11 ; (note); Ephesians 2:20 ; (note); 1 Peter 2:6-8 ; (note). Kimchi understands this of Hezekiah; but it most undoubtedly belongs to Jesus Christ alone; and his application of it to himself, even the Jews could not contest. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-20

The infatuation of sin. In strong, pictorial language the prophet points out— I. THAT SINFUL MEN ACT AS IF THEY COULD AVERT IMPENDING DOOM . They act as if they said, " We have made a covenant with death," etc. Every day the gully and the foolish are living as if they were possessed with a power to wrestle with and overcome approaching doom. The drunkard seems to say, "I will drink, and not be ruined in health;" and the gambler to say, "will stake money, and not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-22

THE REBUKE OF JUDAH 'S NOBLES . The power of the nobles under the later Jewish monarchy is very apparent throughout Isaiah's prophecy. It is they, and not the king, who are always blamed for bad government ( Isaiah 1:10-23 ; Isaiah 3:12-15 , etc.) or errors of policy ( Isaiah 9:15 , Isaiah 9:16 ; Isaiah 22:15-19 , etc.). Isaiah now turns from a denunciation of the priests and prophets, who especially opposed his teaching, to a threatening of the great men who guided the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-22

The judgment prepared for scorner's. "Scorners," in the language of Scripture, are those who set at naught God's prophets, or his messages, or his Holy Word, or his Church, or his ministers. Men delight in such scorn because it seems to them so fine a thing, so grand a thing, so bold, so brave, so heroic. It is a poor thing, comparatively, to exalt one's self against man; it is magnificent to measure one's strength with God's, and enter the lists against him . This may, no doubt, be so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:14-22

Jehovah pronounces judgment. The rulers or politicians are addressed. They are stigmatized as " men of scorn" (cf. Isaiah 28:22 ; Isaiah 29:20 ; Hosea 7:5 ). The scornful or scoffing habit implies excessive self-confidence on the one hand, on the other contempt of religion and of God. But "be not deceived; God is not mocked." "It has been commonly found," says Calvin, "in almost every age, that the common people, though they are distinguished by unrestrained fierceness and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 28:15

We have made a covenant with death (comp. Job 5:23 ; Hosea 2:18 ). The words are a boast, expressed somewhat enigmatically, that they have secured their own safety by some secret agreement. The exact nature of the agreement they are disinclined to divulge. With hell are we at agreement . A " synonymous parallelism," merely strengthening the previous assertion. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through . Assyrian invasion has been compared to a "flood" ( Isaiah 8:7 ; ... read more
