Isaiah 7:23-25 ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 7:17-25

After the comfortable promises made to Ahaz as a branch of the house of David, here follow terrible threatenings against him, as a degenerate branch of that house; for though the loving-kindness of God shall not be utterly taken away, for the sake of David and the covenant made with him, yet his iniquity shall be chastened with the rod, and his sin with stripes. Let those that will not mix faith with the promises of God expect to hear the alarms of his threatenings. I. The judgment threatened... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:23

And it shall come to pass in that day; that every place shall be ,.... Barren and unfruitful, for want of men to till the ground: where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings ; which were so good, as to be sold or let out for so many silver shekels F13 Which was about two shillings and sixpence of our money. ; or the fruit of them came to such a price; see Song of Solomon 8:11 , it shall even be for briers and thorns ; for want of persons to stock the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:24

With arrows and with bows shall men come thither ,.... For fear of wild beasts, serpents, and scorpions, as Jarchi; or in order to hunt them, as others; or because of thieves and robbers, as Aben Ezra: because all the land shall become briers and thorns ; among which such creatures, and such sort of men, would hide themselves. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:25

And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock ,.... Which could not be ploughed with a plough, but used to be dug with a mattock or spade, and then sowed with corn: there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns ; where thorns and briers used not to grow, and where there was no fear or danger of being overrun with them, as the vineyards in the valleys and champaign country; yet those places should become desolate in another way; or rather, there shall be now no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:17-25

THE DANGER TO JUDAH FROM ASSYRIA . The perversity of Ahaz, already rebuked in Isaiah 7:13 , is further punished by a threat, that upon him, and upon his people, and upon his father's house, shall come shortly a dire calamity. The very power whose aid he is himself bent on invoking shall be the scourge to chastise both king and people ( Isaiah 7:17-20 ). The land shall be made bare as by a razor ( Isaiah 7:20 ). Cultivation shall cease; its scant inhabitants will support... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:17-25

Divine retribution. The reference of these verses is clearly national; nevertheless they may be pointed so as to bear upon individual men; for we may be sure that it is on the same principles on which God governs communities that he rules the heart and life of each one of his subjects. We gather concerning Divine retribution— I. THAT IT MAY BE WROUGHT BY VARIOUS INSTRUMENTALITIES . 1. Sometimes by unconscious instruments . 2. Sometimes by conscious agents . ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:18-25

War-pictures. I. INVADING HOSTS . The armies of Egypt and Assyria are compared to swarms of bees. As the bee-master calls to his winged slaves with a peculiar sound, so at the call of Jehovah the swarms of Israel's foes will come on, with swords that sting, and settle down in the low-lying pastures of the land, in the rock-clefts, the hedges of thorn, and the pastures. (For the image of the bees, compare Deuteronomy 1:44 ; Psalms 118:1-29 .) In Joel 2:1-32 . we find a splendid... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:18-25

National judgment for national sins. In this latter part of the chapter we have one of those highly elaborate, intense, and suggestive pictures which are peculiar to the books of the prophets. The mighty Assyrian army sweeps over the land; the people flee before them; they fill every corner; they eat up all the food; they carry away all the flocks and herds; a man can barely save one cow and two sheep; they consume the fruits; they trample down the shrubs; they bear off the people captive;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:23

A thousand vines at a thousand silverlings . By "silverlings" our translators mean "pieces of silver," probably shekels. "A thousand vines at a thousand shekels" may mean either a thousand vines worth that amount, or a thousand vines rented at that sum annually (comp. Song of Solomon 8:11 ). The latter would point to vineyards of unusual goodness, since the shekel is at least eighteen pence, and the present rent of a vineyard in Palestine is at the rate of a piastre for each vine, or... read more

With arrows and with bows . Only the hunter will go there, armed with his weapons of chase, to kill the wild animals that will haunt the thickets. read more
