James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-29

JUDAH AND EGYPT These chapters make a unit since, with the exception of the opening part of chapter 28, they chiefly deal with Judah’s futile alliance with Egypt. Isaiah 28:0 Israel, or the kingdom of the ten tribes, is addressed under the name of her leading tribe “Ephraim” (Isaiah 28:1 ). Her great sin is strong drink. “The head of the fat valley” is Samaria the capital, which is soon to be overthrown by the Assyrians (Isaiah 28:2-4 ). Observe, however, the usual forecast of the end of the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 28:1-13

A Denunciation of Drunkenness Isa 28:1-13 The prophet here denounces the drunkards of Ephraim. It has been well said that there is a "dry drunkenness." Men are drunk, but not with wine; sometimes they are drunk with prosperity, with vanity, with evil thoughts, passionate desires. Men may be sober, and yet may be drunk. Men may be total abstainers from wine, and may yet go straight down to hell. This ought to be very clearly understood. Some annotators have thought that reference is here made... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 28:7-11

Here is another solemn charge, and more pointed than the former. Errors are not only found in Ephraim, but in Judah; not only among the carnal, but the professor. Yea, God's ministers, both prophet and priest, are said to have erred through strong drink! Precious Jesus! is it possible that we can behold thee drinking the cup of trembling to the very dregs; and that any who minister before thee, and in thy name, can be found drinking the drunkard's cup? W ell might Isaiah cry out, and exclaim,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 28:5-15

5-15 The prophet next turns to Judah, whom he calls the residue of his people. Happy are those alone, who glory in the Lord of hosts himself. Hence his people get wisdom and strength for every service and every conflict. But it is only in Christ Jesus that the holy God communicates with sinful man. And whether those that teach are drunk with wine, or intoxicated with false doctrines and notions concerning the kingdom and salvation of the Messiah, they not only err themselves, but lead... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 28:1-13

Concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. Chapters 28 to 33 in the Book of Isaiah contain a cycle of prophecies and proclamations concerning the relation of Judah to Assyria in the time of King Hezekiah. Ahaz had sinned in seeking protection against Syria and Israel not in the Lord, but in Assyria, thereby making Assyria a scourge of Judah. Hezekiah, otherwise a pious king, erred in seeking protection against Assyria by appealing to Egypt and entering into an alliance with this heathen nation. All... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 28:1-13

THIRD SUBDIVISIONTHE RELATION OF ISRAEL TO ASSYRIA IN THE TIME OF KING HEZEKIAHIsaiah 28-33As Isaiah 7-12, resting on the facts related Isaiah 7:1 sqq., contain the first great cycle of Isaiah’s prophecies, so Isaiah 28-33, which have for their basis the facts narrated in the historical appendix (36–37) contain the second great cycle. Chapters 7–12 depict the relation of Israel to Assyria in the time of Ahaz. Our chapters set forth this relation as it stood in the time of Hezekiah. As the sin... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 28:6-13

Isaiah THE JUDGMENT OF DRUNKARDS AND MOCKERS Isa_28:1 - Isa_28:13 . This prophecy probably falls in the first years of Hezekiah, when Samaria still stood, and the storm of war was gathering black in the north. The portion included in the text predicts the fall of Samaria Isa_28:1 - Isa_28:6 and then turns to Judah, which is guilty of the same sins as the northern capital, and adds to them mockery of the prophet’s message. Isaiah speaks with fiery indignation and sharp sarcasm. His words are... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-13

the Decay of an Intemperate People Isaiah 28:1-13 A new series of prophecies begins here and extends to Isaiah 32:20 . Samaria is described as a faded crown or garland on the nation’s head because it was disgraced by the national drunkenness. See Amos 4:1 . So corrupted was she by strong drink and its attendant evils that the Assyrian invader would plunder her as a man gathers ripe figs. But to Judah, that is, the remnant , the Lord would be a crown or garland, not of pride but of glory.... read more
