以赛亚书 22:8-14 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:11

Ye made also a ditch ; rather, a lake , or reservoir (see the comment on Isaiah 22:9 ). But ye have not looked unto the maker thereof; i.e. you have not looked to God, who in his eternal counsels foreknew and decreed all the steps that you are taking for your defense (see below, Isaiah 37:26 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:12

In that day. The day alluded to in Isaiah 22:7 , when the choice valleys in the neighborhood of Jerusalem were first seen to be full of a hostile soldiery, and the Assyrian horsemen were observed drawing themselves up opposite the gates. Such a sight constituted an earnest call upon the people for immediate repentance. Baldness (comp. Isaiah 15:2 ; Micah 1:16 ; Amos 8:10 ). It has been said that "baldness" was forbidden by the Law (Cheyne); but this is not so, absolutely. Baldness... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:12

God's call to penitence. "In that day did the Lord God of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth." These are the Eastern signs and expressions of penitence and humiliation; as may be illustrated in the case of Nineveh, which repented at the preaching of Jonah ( Jonah 3:5-9 ). God calls on the people to "lament their sins, by which they had brought these judgments upon their land, and to dispose themselves to a reformation of theft lives by a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:13

And behold joy and gladness (comp. Isaiah 22:2 ). "Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die," is a common sentiment, if not a common expression. It has been supposed to have given rise to the Egyptian practice of carrying round the model of a mummy to the guests at feasts. According to the Greeks, Sardanapalus had a phrase very like it engraved upon his tomb. Sailors have often acted upon it, when they found it impossible to save their ship. On seeing their city invested, a portion of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:14

It was revealed in mine cars by the Lord of hosts ; rather, the Lord of hosts revealed himself in mine ears , saying . This iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die. The sin of turning a call to repentance into an excuse for rioting and drunkenness is one which God will not pardon. It implies a hardness of heart which cannot fail to issue in final impenitence. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:14

Iniquity that cannot be purged in this life. God is a God of infinite mercy to forgive sin, and yet he will "by no means clear the guilty." He will surely visit iniquity by fixing its consequences upon the sinner, and even also upon others who may be related to him. I. SIN - PENALTIES THAT CAN BE REMOVED NOW , WHILE WE ARE IN ' THIS WORLD . They are such as rest on the soul . Sin has a twofold aspect—it is both an act of transgression and a spirit of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 22:8

And he discovered - Hebrew, ויגל vayegal - ‘He made naked, or bare.’ The expression, ‘He discovered,’ means simply that it “was” uncovered, without designating the agent.The covering of Judah - The word used here (מסך mâsak) denotes properly “a covering,” and is applied to the “curtain” or veil that was before the tabernacle Exodus 26:36; Exodus 39:38; and to the curtain that was before the gate of the court Exodus 35:17; Exodus 39:40. The Septuagint understands it of the “gates” of Judah,... read more

Ye have seen also the breaches - You who are inhabitants of the city. That such breaches were actually made, see 2 Chronicles 32:5.Of the city of David - Of Jerusalem, so called because it was the royal residence of David.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 22:10

And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem - That is, you have taken an estimate of their number so as to ascertain how many can be spared to be pulled down to repair the walls; or you have made an estimate of the amount of materials for repairing the walls, which would be furnished by pulling down the houses in Jerusalem.To fortify the wall - The houses in Jerusalem were built of stone, and therefore they would furnish appropriate materials for repairing the walls of the city. In 2... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 22:11

Ye made also a ditch - That is, they made a “reservoir” to retain the water. The word ‘ditch,’ however, will well describe the character of the pool of Gihon on the west side of the city (see the notes at Isaiah 7:3).Between the two walls for the water of the old pool - Hezekiah built one of these walls himself (2 Chronicles 32:5, 2 Chronicles 32:30; compare 2 Kings 25:5, and Jeremiah 39:4). Between these two walls the water would be collected so as to be accessible to the inhabitants of the... read more
