Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 40:9-11

Isaiah 40:9-11. O Zion, &c.— We have here the fourth voice, directed to the evangelists, to whom it is given in command, to promulgate the true presence of their redeeming God, and the king of his church, among all people. It is true, the words the voice said are to be understood before this period. The divine voice said, ascend into the lofty mountain, O Zion, who art the messenger or declarer of good tidings;—the Evangelist. Zion and Jerusalem are here to be understood with respect to the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 40:12-17

Isaiah 40:12-17. Who hath measured the waters, &c.— The prophet here, in the most sublime manner, celebrates the divine majesty and greatness, but particularly his wisdom. Rapt into an extacy, after he had described the beginning and the nature of the new oeconomy, he sees that there would be many men of worldly prudence, who would hesitate at the methods of the divine counsel; and that the pious themselves, considering the extent and firmness of the kingdom of Satan in the world, the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 40:1

1. Comfort ye, comfort ye—twice repeated to give double assurance. Having announced the coming captivity of the Jews in Babylon, God now desires His servants, the prophets (Isaiah 52:7), to comfort them. The scene is laid in Babylon; the time, near the close of the captivity; the ground of comfort is the speedy ending of the captivity, the Lord Himself being their leader. my people . . . your God—correlatives (Jeremiah 31:33; Hosea 1:9; Hosea 1:10). It is God's covenant relation with His... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 40:2

2. comfortably—literally, "to the heart"; not merely to the intellect. Jerusalem—Jerusalem though then in ruins, regarded by God as about to be rebuilt; her people are chiefly meant, but the city is personified. cry—publicly and emphatically as a herald cries aloud ( :-). warfare—or, the appointed time of her misery ( :-, Margin; Job 14:14; Daniel 10:1). The ulterior and Messianic reference probably is the definite time when the legal economy of burdensome rites is at an end (Galatians 4:3;... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 40:3

3. crieth in the wilderness—So the Septuagint and Matthew 3:3 connect the words. The Hebrew accents, however, connect them thus: "In the wilderness prepare ye," c., and the parallelism also requires this, "Prepare ye in the wilderness," answering to "make straight in the desert." Matthew was entitled, as under inspiration, to vary the connection, so as to bring out another sense, included in the Holy Spirit's intention in Matthew 3:1, "John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness," answers... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 40:4

4. Eastern monarchs send heralds before them in a journey to clear away obstacles, make causeways over valleys, and level hills. So John's duty was to bring back the people to obedience to the law and to remove all self-confidence, pride in national privileges, hypocrisy, and irreligion, so that they should be ready for His coming (Malachi 4:6; Luke 1:17). crooked—declivities. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 40:5

5. see it—The Septuagint for "it," has "the salvation of God." So :- (compare Luke 2:30, that is, Messiah); but the Evangelist probably took these words from Luke 2:30- :. for—rather, "All flesh shall see that the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it" [BENGEL]. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 40:6

6. The voice—the same divine herald as in Isaiah 40:3. he—one of those ministers or prophets (see on Isaiah 40:3- :) whose duty it was, by direction of "the voice," to "comfort the Lord's afflicted people with the promises of brighter days." All flesh is grass—The connection is, "All human things, however goodly, are transitory: God's promises alone steadfast" (Isaiah 40:8; Isaiah 40:15; Isaiah 40:17; Isaiah 40:23; Isaiah 40:24); this contrast was already suggested in Isaiah 40:24- :, "All... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 40:7

7. spirit of the Lord—rather, "wind of Jehovah" ( :-). The withering east wind of those countries sent by Jehovah (Jonah 4:8). the people—rather, "this people" [LOWTH], which may refer to the Babylonians [ROSENMULLER]; but better, mankind in general, as in Jonah 4:8- :, so Isaiah 40:6, "all flesh"; this whole race, that is, man. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 40:9

9. Rather, "Oh, thou that bringest good things to Zion; thou that bringest good tidings to Jerusalem." "Thou" is thus the collective personification of the messengers who announce God's gracious purpose to Zion (see on Isaiah 40:4); Isaiah 52:7 confirms this [Vulgate and GESENIUS]. If English Version be retained, the sense will be the glad message was first to be proclaimed to Jerusalem, and then from it as the center to all "Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth" (Luke 24:47;... read more
