Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 47:1-15

YAHWEH IS ABOUT TO ACT SO AS TO ESTABLISH HIS PEOPLE AND PREPARE THE WAY FOR HIS SERVANT (Isaiah 44:24 to Isaiah 48:22 ). As with what has gone before it is necessary for us to determine the viewpoint from which we will see these narratives, and in order to do so we must put ourselves in the shoes of Isaiah. Chapters 1-39 were mainly behind him, Hezekiah was dead, and what lay before him was the future in terms of Manasseh’s reign. That reign had not had a promising beginning. Manasseh had... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 47:1-15

Isaiah 47:1-Ezra : . A Taunt-Song of Triumph on the Fall of Babylon. Isaiah 47:1-Judges : . Babylon, erroneously personified as a virgin, as if never before captured, is bidden descend from the effeminate ease of her throne to the menial task of grinding the hand-mill. The garments of a secluded princess she must lay aside, to wade through the fords. For Yahweh’ s vengeance is inexorable, and she who queened it over the kingdoms of the earth must go into the darkness of captivity. When... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 47:3

Thy nakedness shall be uncovered; either, 1. For want of raiment to cover it; or rather, 2. By thine enemies in way of scorn and contumely, by comparing this place with Ezekiel 16:37; Ezekiel 23:29. Thy shame shall be seen upon thee for thy many and great injuries done to my people. I will take vengeance, as a man meets his enemy in the field, to contend with thee. I will not meet thee as a man, with moderation and gentleness, as those men who have not quite put off humanity use to do; but like... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 47:3

A DREADFUL MEETINGIsaiah 47:3. I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.Little did Babylon think with whom she now had to contend. This was no empty threat. It was carried into full and fearful execution. Thus it has fared with other nations, and will, at last, with every impenitent sinner. There is a time of vengeance, as well as of mercy. Then God will meet His enemies, but not as a man.1. When men are about to meet their enemies, it is generally their policy to keep up the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 47:1-15

Chapter 47Now in chapter 47, God speaks of the judgment that is going to come against Babylon. Now this is before Babylon ever conquered them. But God has declared that Babylon shall conquer them, but because of the treatment that Babylon gives to the people of God, she herself, though used as an instrument of God in judgment against His people, will also be brought into judgment by God.Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 47:1-15

Our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts. He who redeemed us from Egypt, will redeem us from Babylon by the Persians, and throw the yoke of servitude on our oppressors. Isaiah 47:7 . Thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever. Oh virgin, how couldst thou dream of this, seeing every city within the grasp of thy wide empire has... read more

Isaiah 47:1-3Come down, and sit in the dustDirge on the downfall of Babylon:Babylon is pictured as a royal lady, dethroned, led in captivity over the streams to a distant land, and there made the meanest slave behind the millstones.(A. B. Davidson, D. D.) read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 47:3

Isaiah 47:3Thy nakedness shall be uncoveredMental and moral nakednessEvery person hath somewhat which may properly be called his nakedness or shame, in a figurative sense--such as a weak judgment, imprudence, inconsideration, injustice, cruelty, avarice, poverty, or contempt of religion.Over that he studiously endeavours to throw a veil, that it may be preserved from public observation. Now, when the covering is taken away by which any of these things were concealed, then people’s nakedness or... read more

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 47:3

Isa 47:3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] a man. Ver. 3. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered. ] Thou shalt be stripped, and worse dealt with - the ordinary lot of women prisoners. At the sack of Magdeburg by Monsieur Tilly, ladies, gentlewomen, and others, like beasts and dogs, being naked and coupled together, were led into the woods, and there ravished. Such as resisted, the soldiers stripped naked, whipped... read more
