以赛亚书 7:22 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 7:17-25

After the comfortable promises made to Ahaz as a branch of the house of David, here follow terrible threatenings against him, as a degenerate branch of that house; for though the loving-kindness of God shall not be utterly taken away, for the sake of David and the covenant made with him, yet his iniquity shall be chastened with the rod, and his sin with stripes. Let those that will not mix faith with the promises of God expect to hear the alarms of his threatenings. I. The judgment threatened... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:22

And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give ,.... The cow and the two sheep, having large pastures, and few cattle to feed upon them, those few would give such abundance of milk, that the owner of them would make butter of it, and live upon it, having no occasion to eat milk; and there being few or none to sell it to: he shall eat butter ; the milk producing a sufficient quantity of it for himself and his family: for butter and honey shall everyone eat... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:17-25

THE DANGER TO JUDAH FROM ASSYRIA . The perversity of Ahaz, already rebuked in Isaiah 7:13 , is further punished by a threat, that upon him, and upon his people, and upon his father's house, shall come shortly a dire calamity. The very power whose aid he is himself bent on invoking shall be the scourge to chastise both king and people ( Isaiah 7:17-20 ). The land shall be made bare as by a razor ( Isaiah 7:20 ). Cultivation shall cease; its scant inhabitants will support... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:17-25

Divine retribution. The reference of these verses is clearly national; nevertheless they may be pointed so as to bear upon individual men; for we may be sure that it is on the same principles on which God governs communities that he rules the heart and life of each one of his subjects. We gather concerning Divine retribution— I. THAT IT MAY BE WROUGHT BY VARIOUS INSTRUMENTALITIES . 1. Sometimes by unconscious instruments . 2. Sometimes by conscious agents . ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:18-25

War-pictures. I. INVADING HOSTS . The armies of Egypt and Assyria are compared to swarms of bees. As the bee-master calls to his winged slaves with a peculiar sound, so at the call of Jehovah the swarms of Israel's foes will come on, with swords that sting, and settle down in the low-lying pastures of the land, in the rock-clefts, the hedges of thorn, and the pastures. (For the image of the bees, compare Deuteronomy 1:44 ; Psalms 118:1-29 .) In Joel 2:1-32 . we find a splendid... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:18-25

National judgment for national sins. In this latter part of the chapter we have one of those highly elaborate, intense, and suggestive pictures which are peculiar to the books of the prophets. The mighty Assyrian army sweeps over the land; the people flee before them; they fill every corner; they eat up all the food; they carry away all the flocks and herds; a man can barely save one cow and two sheep; they consume the fruits; they trample down the shrubs; they bear off the people captive;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:22

For the abundance of milk that they shall give . The small number of the cattle will allow of each having abundant pasture. Hence they will give an abundance of milk. He shall eat butter ; rather, curds—the solid food most readily obtained from milk (comp. above, Isaiah 7:15 ). Curdled milk and wild honey should form the simple diet of the remnant left in the land. It is, of course, possible to understand this in a spiritual sense, of simple doctrine and gospel honey out of the flinty... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 7:22

For the abundance of milk ... - On account, or by means of the great quantity of milk. This image also denotes that the land should be desolate, and abandoned by its inhabitants. Such a range would the cow and sheep have in the lands lying waste and uncultivated, that they would yield abundance of milk.For butter and honey - This shall be the condition of all who are left in the land. Agriculture shall be abandoned, The land shall be desolate. The few remaining inhabitants shall be dependent on... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 7:21-25

Isaiah 7:21-25. These verses “contain an elegant and very expressive description of a country depopulated, and left to run wild, from its adjuncts and circumstances; the vineyards and corn-fields, before well cultivated, now overrun with briers and thorns; much grass, so that the few cattle that are left, a young cow and two sheep, have their full range, and abundant pasture; so as to yield milk in plenty to the scanty family of the owner: the thinly-scattered people living not on corn, wine,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-25

7:1-12:6 JUDAH IN THE REIGN OF AHAZChapters 7-12 belong to the reign of Ahaz, when Pekah the king of Israel and Rezin the king of Syria (Aram) joined forces to attack Ahaz, with the aim of forcing Judah into their anti-Assyrian alliance.
