Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 2:5

"O house of Jacob, Come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah. For thou hast forsaken thy people, because they are filled with customs from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners. And their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots. Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:5

Isaiah 2:5. O house of Jacob, &c.— The second part of this discourse contains an exhortation to the people to repent, with a complaint of their corrupt state, and a denunciation of the divine judgment: In which we have, first, a transition from one scene to the other, Isaiah 2:5. Secondly, a new scene is opened, and the present state of the Jewish people is described: Isaiah 2:6-9. Thirdly, The most severe penal judgment of God, to be inflicted upon these men at an appointed time, is set... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:6

Isaiah 2:6.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 2:5-22

The results of trusting in people 2:5-22This emphasis is a major one in Isaiah 1-39, and the prophet introduced it at this point. Many in his day-and this is still true today-preferred to trust in strong people, especially nations, rather than in the Lord.The prophet’s first exhortation 2:5In view of what the nations will do eventually, Isaiah appealed to the house of Jacob (Israel) to do the same thing immediately, namely: walk in the Lord’s light (presence and truth). Commit to following the... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 2:6

Israel must walk in Yahweh’s light because God had forsaken her in her present condition for departing from Him. Contrast the nations that will seek the Lord in the future (Isaiah 2:2). Israel had stopped living as a distinct people in the world, had adopted the ways of other nations, and had relied on them rather than on the Lord. She had looked to the east (first Assyria and then Babylonia) for light rather than to the Lord, and had become like her despised enemies, the uncircumcised... read more

The cause of the problem: self-sufficiency 2:6-9Several facets of Israel’s national life, all evidences of self-sufficiency rather than trust in Yahweh, invited judgment (cf. Micah 5:10-14). read more

2-4. occur also with a few slight variations in Micah 4:1-4. The passage appears to be borrowed in Isaiah, because (a) it suits its context better in Micah, and (b) it is more complete in Micah, Micah 4:4 being a part of it. If Isaiah is quoting from Micah, the latter prophet must have spoken the words before the occasion referred to in Jeremiah 26:18. Both prophets may be quoting from some ancient and well-known prediction regarding the future of Zion.2. In the last days] RV ’in the latter... read more
