Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 7:17-25

Isaiah 7:17-Lamentations : . The Devastation of Judah.— Probably an independent prophecy rather than a continuation of Isaiah 7:2-Nehemiah :; it strikes a very different note. It may belong to the same date, but may quite well be later. Disaster unparalleled since the revolt of the ten tribes (note the Southern point of view) is coming on Judah, an Assyrian invasion. Yahweh will whistle for the enemy, who will penetrate the most inaccessible retreats of the land, and humiliate and spoil the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 7:22

For the abundance of milk that they shall give; because they shall have excellent and large pastures, by reason of the great scarcity of cattle; whereas formerly their lands were ofttimes overstocked with cattle. Butter and honey may be here mentioned, either, 1. As mean and vulgar food, being very common in those parts; which are opposed to that flesh and corn, and other excellent fruits of the earth, wherewith their land formerly abounded. Or, 2. As very good and pleasant food, which the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 7:3-25

ISAIAH’S INTERVIEW WITH AHAZIsaiah 7:3-25. Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, &c.In this interview of Isaiah with Ahaz we have an instance—I. Of God’s efforts to turn men from ruinous courses. God is the great Lawgiver, and the Judge before whose bar all impenitent transgressors of His law will have to stand. Absolute inflexibility is necessarily His characteristic in both these capacities. But these are not the only capacities He seeks to sustain to us. It is His ambition to be the Saviour of... read more

A SENTENCE OF DOOMIsaiah 7:17-25. The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, &c.I. God is sovereign in the whole earth. He is the great controller of all nations. All governments are but instruments which He uses when and as He pleases (Isaiah 7:17-21). A thought full of comfort for the righteous, of terror for the unrighteous.II. The consequent insecurity of all prosperity that is not based upon, and promotive of, righteousness (Isaiah 7:23). True of nations: Britain will be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 7:1-25

Isaiah 7:1 . In the days of Ahaz, the second or the third year of his reign. Chapters 5. and 6. are therefore out of place. Isaiah 7:6 . Let us go up against Judah and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal. The rabbins make him to be a relative of the reigning family in Samaria. They gave away David’s throne before they had conquered it! Isaiah 7:8 . The head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. But Jerusalem now had the Lord for her head. Within... read more
