F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 48:1-16

the Obstinate and Insincere Rebuked Isaiah 48:1-16 We are meant to be for God’s praise and glory; but we may delay the realization of His high purpose. Our neck iron, our brow brass, we trust in idols and refuse to open our ear. It is necessary, therefore, to send us to Babylon, where, as in a furnace for silver, the dross and alloy are purged away. Many of us are in furnaces which have been rendered needful through our evil ways. Notwithstanding our sins, God comes to the furnace mouth and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 48:1-22

This chapter constitutes the last section of the division dealing with the purpose of peace. It is a great appeal to the people. It first describes Jehovah's methods (verses Isa 48:1-11 ). He has had to do with a failing people, a people mentioning His name, but not in truth. His method has been that of prophecy and swift performance on account of their obstinacy, and to prevent them attributing to idols the things wrought by Jehovah. All this He has done for His own name's sake. This method... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 48:1-11

The Failure of Israel/Judah And His Intention For Them (Isaiah 48:1-11 ). Isaiah 48:1-2 “Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, And are come forth out of the waters of Judah. Who swear by the name of Yahweh, and make mention of the God of Israel, Not in truth nor in righteousness, When they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel. Yahweh of hosts is his name.” God now calls through Isaiah to His sinful people as Jacob/Israel who... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 48:1-22

YAHWEH IS ABOUT TO ACT SO AS TO ESTABLISH HIS PEOPLE AND PREPARE THE WAY FOR HIS SERVANT (Isaiah 44:24 to Isaiah 48:22 ). As with what has gone before it is necessary for us to determine the viewpoint from which we will see these narratives, and in order to do so we must put ourselves in the shoes of Isaiah. Chapters 1-39 were mainly behind him, Hezekiah was dead, and what lay before him was the future in terms of Manasseh’s reign. That reign had not had a promising beginning. Manasseh had... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 48:1-11

Isaiah 48:1-1 Kings : . A Recapitulation of the Argument from Prophecy.— To the original text a redactor has added a commentary (bracketed below) from a different standpoint. Whereas the prophet regarded Israel as having more than paid the penalty of her sins, the additions represent her as obstinately and inveterately sinful, and long addicted to the worship of images.“ Hearken,” says Yahweh to His people [proud of their nationality and attached to His cultus]. “ Long ago I predicted what... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 48:10

I have refined thee; or, I will refine thee. Although I will not cut thee off, or utterly destroy thee, as I now said; yet I will put thee into the furnace, not to consume thee, but to purify thee from that dross which cleaveth to thee, and needs such afflictions to purge it away. Not with silver; or, not among silver; or, not as silver; which is put into and kept in the furnace so long till all the dross be purged away from it. I will not deal so rigorously with thee, for then I should wholly... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 48:11

Will I do it; this great work of delivering my people out of Babylon. My name is here fitly supplied, both out of Isaiah 48:9, where it is expressed, and out of the following clause of this verse, where he saith, my glory, which is equivalent to it. The sense is, If I should not spare and deliver my people, my name would be sadly profaned and blasphemed, as if I were either impotent or implacable to them. I will not give my glory unto another; I will not give any colour or occasion to idolaters... read more

THE GOVERNING PRINCIPLE OF GOD’S PROVIDENCEIsaiah 48:9. For My name’s sake, &c.It is possible that the design of this verse may be to answer an objection. “If the character of the nation is such,” it might be said, “why should God desire to restore them again to their own land?” To this the answer is, it was not on their account—not because they were deserving of His favour, nor was it primarily and mainly in order that they might be happy. It was on His own account—in order to show His... read more

God's People in the Furnace August 12, 1855 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction." Isaiah 48:10 . When travelling through the country, you have often noticed that in different spots the old rocks peep out from under the soil, as if they would let us know what earth's bones are made of, and what are the solid foundations of this globe. So in searching through the Scriptures you will find here instruction, here admonition, here rebuke, and here... read more
