The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 35:7

The parched ground shall become , etc.; rather, the glistening sand . That hot glow of the parched desert soil, which produces the mirage, shall be replaced by a real lake of cool water. Illusive imitations of goodness shall give way to the display of genuine virtues and excellences. In the habitation of dragons ; or, according to some, of jackals—the driest and most desolate of all places. Shall be grass with reeds and rushes ; i.e. "shall be a luxuriant vegetation, like that on... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 35:3

Strengthen ye - That is, you who are the religious teachers and guides of the people. This is an address made by the prophet in view of what he had said and was about to say of the proraised blessings. The sense is, strengthen and sustain the feeble and the desponding by the promised blessings; by the assurances Isaiah 34:0 that all the enemies of God and his people will be destroyed; and that he will manifest himself as their Protector, and send upon them the promised blessings. Or it may be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 35:4

Say to them - This is still an address to the ministers of religion, to make use of all the consolations which these truths and predictions furnish to confirm and strengthen the people of God.Of a fearful heart - Of a timid, pusillanimous heart; those who tremble before their enemies. The Hebrew is, as in the Margin, ‘Of a hasty heart;’ that is, of those who are disposed to flee before their enemies (see the note at Isaiah 30:16).Behold, your God will come with vengeance - That is, in the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 35:5

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened - The images in this verse and the following are those of joy and exultation. They describe the times of happiness when God would come to save them from their foes. This passage is so accurate a description of what the Messiah, the Lord Jesus, did, that it doubtless refers to the miracles which he would perform. In not a few instances did he in fact restore the blind to sight, giving thus the most unequivocal proof that he was the Messiah sent from God... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 35:6

Then shall the lame man leap - This was literally fulfilled after the coming of the Messiah Acts 14:10; Acts 3:8. It is an emblem of the general joy which the coming of the Messiah would impart, and is an instance of the blessings which it would convey.As an hart - The word used here denotes the stag, or male deer. In Arabic it denotes the wild, or mountain-goat. The word sometimes refers to any species of deer or antelope, and this is referred to here from its quick and sprightly nature.And... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 35:7

And the parched ground shall become a pool - The idea is the same here as in the previous verse, that under the Messiah there would be blessings as great as if the parched ground’ should become a lake of pure and refreshing water. The words ‘parched ground,’ however, probably do not convey the sense which Isaiah intended. The image which he had in his eye is much more beautiful than that which is denoted by the ‘parched ground.’ Lowth translates it, ‘The glowing sand.’ The Septuagint, Ἄνυδρος... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 35:3-4

Isaiah 35:3-4. Strengthen ye the weak hands Ye prophets and ministers of God, comfort and encourage his people, who are now ready to faint, with hopes of that salvation which, in due time, he will work for them. The prophet mentions hands and knees, because the strength or weakness of any man eminently appears in those parts. Say to them that are of a fearful heart Who, because of their own weakness and the strength of their enemies, are discouraged and cast down: Hebrew, לנמהרי לב , ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 35:5-7

Isaiah 35:5-7. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened The poor Gentiles, who before were blind and deaf, shall now have the eyes and ears of their minds opened to see God’s works, and to hear and receive his word. And, in token hereof, many persons who are literally and corporally blind and deaf, shall have sight and hearing miraculously conferred upon them; all which things being so fully accomplished in Christ, and, as has been just observed, applied by him to himself, it is plain... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 35:1-10

A paradise for God’s people (35:1-10)In contrast to the terrifying end that awaits the wicked, the final state that God has prepared for the righteous is one of peace, joy and beauty. As judgment was pictured in the devastation of the land of Edom, so salvation is pictured in the restoration of the land of Israel. The picture is that of a desert that turns into a beautiful garden or a mighty forest. The Lord God dwells there and strengthens his people (35:1-4).All the effects of sin are now... read more
