isaiah-33:6

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-12

Here we have, I. The proud and false Assyrian justly reckoned with for all his fraud and violence, and laid under a woe, Isa. 33:1. Observe, 1. The sin which the enemy had been guilty of. He had spoiled the people of God, and made a prey of them, and herein had broken his treaty of peace with them, and dealt treacherously. Truth and mercy are two such sacred things, and have so much of God in them, that those cannot but be under the wrath of God that make conscience of neither, but are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:6

And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times ,.... Some take these words to be directed to Hezekiah; but rather they are an apostrophe to the Messiah, and respect the later times of Christ, when many shall run to and fro, and the knowledge of him shall be increased, and the earth shall be covered with it, as the waters cover the sea; and which, as it will make these times comfortable and pleasant, so firm, durable, and lasting: or else they are the words of believers in those... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-6

SECTION X. A PROPHECY OF JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA ( Isaiah 33:1-24 .). THE JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA AND DELIVERANCE OF JERUSALEM , STATED GENERALLY . Events had progressed since the preceding prophecies were delivered. The negotiations carried on with Sennacherib had been futile ( Isaiah 33:7 ), the heavy fine imposed and paid ( 2 Kings 18:14 ) had been of no avail ( Isaiah 33:18 ); the Assyrian monarch was still dissatisfied, and threatened a second siege.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:1-6

Jehovah a Refuge. It is "Israel's extremity, but God's opportunity." Retribution is about to fall on Assyria; salvation and every resource is to be found in Jehovah. I. WOE TO ASSYRIA . This land appears under the image of a rapacious spoiler. The time is about B.C. 700, and the allusion is to Sennacherib and his army, who had advanced on a plundering and destroying course. The tables are to be turned, and the greedy conqueror (of. 2 Kings 18:14 , 2 Kings 18:15 ) was to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:5-6

A wise nation (Church). These verses supply us with three features by which a nation or Church that is possessed of true wisdom will be characterized. I. A PERVADING SENSE OF GOD —of his greatness, his power, his righteousness. "The Lord is exalted; he dwelleth on high; he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness." The result of the deliverance wrought by Jehovah would be the creation of this devout sentiment. The holy nation, the Church after the heart of its Divine... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:6

Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times ; literally, and the stability of thy times shall be ( i.e. consist in) a rich store of salvations , wisdom , and knowledge . The prophet here addresses the people of Judah in the second person, though in the next clause he reverts to the third. Such transitions are common in ancient compositions, and especially characterize the writings of Isaiah. The fear of the Lord is his treasure ; i.e. the wisdom intended is that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:6

The fear of the Lord, Judah's treasure. The best treasure of a nation is a religious spirit. Judaea had been ravaged by the host of the Assyrians under Sennacherib, had had all her "fenced cities" taken ( Isaiah 36:1 ), had been stripped of her most precious treasures in silver and gold by the rapacious king, and was left with an empty treasury, down-trodden vineyards, and fields unsown ( 2 Kings 19:19 ); but her best treasure still remained to her—she was rich in "the fear of the Lord."... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:6

The secret of stability for every age. This is presented by showing what would be the secret of stability in the kingdom of Hezekiah, when safety and peace were again restored. The prophet anticipates the removal of the great and serious national evils, which had brought on the people Divine judgments, and rejoices in the prospect that " righteousness would exalt the nation." We may well think that, in thought, he passed on to the times of Messiah, when alone his great hopes could be... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 33:6

And wisdom and knowledge shall be - This verse contains evidently an address to Hezekiah, and asserts that his reign would be characterized by the prevalence of piety and knowledge. This chapter abounds in sudden transitions; and it accords with its general character that when Yahweh had been addressed Isaiah 33:5, there should then be a direct address to Hezekiah.The stability - This word denotes firmness, steadiness, constancy; and means that in his times knowledge and the fear of the Lord... read more
