Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:16-17

16, 17. The scene is now changed from sheol to earth; from a shadowy personage to an unburied corpse. Look upon… consider thee Intently examine thee as some strange sight. Is this the man Hardly a jibe, as some think, but a serious reflection on man’s feebleness. Made the earth to tremble By his former power and tyranny. But now how fallen! Made the world as a wilderness The world which would otherwise have been fruitful and habitable. Opened not the house Set not his captives free... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:18

18. All… kings… lie in glory This is the ordinary fact; and it is a great mark of dishonour not to be buried, even for a private person, (1 Kings 13:22,) and how much more for a sovereign. 2 Chronicles 21:20; 2 Chronicles 34:24. The language is not that of derision, but of astonishment. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:19

19. Cast out of thy grave A neglected carcass, far from thy grandly-built sepulchre. How horrible the contrast in this case! Abominable branch A shoot or branch cut off as an abhorred thing; cast away for burning. Stones of the pit A place of burial either excavated or built up with stones. Even common soldiers, when slain, were not denied this. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:20

20. Shalt not be joined with them Not even with the slain herd of men who have a decent burial. Hast destroyed thy land, etc. To the Oriental such a judgment was the harshest conceivable; but in this case it is pronounced deserved. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:21

21. Prepare slaughter for his children Such is the impulse of inexorable sentiment with the Oriental to this day; and such, too, the reasons for it as are here given. In this case the iniquity of their fathers was judicially visited upon their children. This is considered as prophetically addressed to the Medes, if to any people in particular. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:22-23

22, 23. I will rise up against Hitherto the prophet had spoken in his own name, though not by his own authority; but now he speaks in the name of Jehovah, intimating not human agency merely, but the Lord’s also, as concerned in Babylon’s destruction. Cut off… name… remnant… son, and nephew Every trace of the old empire is to go out of existence. This was literally fulfilled through Cyrus and his successors of the Medo-Persian empire. And finally the population was swept away, and the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:24-25

24, 25. A change is here made from the prophetic scene in the distance, to a nearer view: to that of the Assyrian power with which Judah is more or less to be concerned for a hundred or more years before reaching the Babylonian era. This is done either to make the events predicted of Assyria accredit those predicted of Babylon, or to assure the prophet’s own generation of Jews that God is as interested to protect them from Assyria as he is to deliver the coming generations from Babylon. I... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:26-27

26, 27. This is the purpose The sense of these verses is, That the “purpose” formed against Babylon and Assyria is also formed against all peoples who deserve punishment, and it must be executed. Rules of justice control the Almighty in regard to all nations, and they cannot be changed. read more
