Isaiah 1:1-23 NIV

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 1:1-31

The book of Isaiah is a marvelous book of prophecy. Of course, it is the longest book of prophecy in the Bible, and it would seem that God gave to Isaiah a clearer vision of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ than any other of the Old Testament prophets. He writes much concerning the Messiah that is to come.In the first verse he tells us the historical time of his prophecies, beginning when Uzziah was king of Judah, which puts it about 760 BC. And he lived through the succeeding reigns of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 1:1-31

Isaiah 1:1 . The vision. What the prophet saw with the eyes of his mind, concerning the state of Judah and Jerusalem, his ministry being chiefly confined to the kingdom of Judea. Isaiah, the son of Amos, not the prophet Amos, but a nobleman of Judah, who had married the sister of king Amaziah, as is recorded in Zeder ôlam, a Hebrew book. He was therefore first cousin of king Azariah, whom he calls Uzziah, chap. 6. He prophesied in the reign of the four kings, Uzziah, Jothan, Ahaz, and... read more

Isaiah 1:1The vision of Isaiah the son of AmozIsaiah the son of AmozThis is not Amos the inspired herdsman.It is his glory simply that he was the father of Isaiah. Like many another he lives in the reflected glory of his offspring. The next best thing to being a great man is to be the father of one. (S. Horton.)Isaiah’s fatherThe rabbis represent his father Amoz as having been a brother of King Amaziah; but, at any rate, if we may judge from his illustrious son’s name, which means “salvation is... read more

Isaiah 1:2-31Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spokenGod finds vindication in natureI well remember two funerals going out of my house within a few brief months during my residence in London.There were cards sent by post and left at the door, in all kindliness; but one dark night when my grief overwhelmed me I looked at some of the cards and could find no vibration of sympathy there. I had not felt the touch of the hand that sent them. I went out into the storm that... read more

Isaiah 1:3The ox knoweth his owner . . . but Israel doth not knowIsaiah’s messageWhat does Isaiah teach about God?A prophet of his times had much to do in clearing the minds of the people from the confusion, or something worse, into which, as the history shows, the Jews were only too prone to fall. They were surrounded by idolatrous nations, and there was a danger that they might regard Jehovah as though He were like these gods of the nations. Even when they did not sink to this level they were... read more

Isaiah 1:4Ah, sinful nationGod’s indignation against sinThe word “ah” is not an interjection, indicating a mere sighing of pity or regret; the word should not be spelt as it is here, the letters should be reversed, it should be “ha,” and pronounced as expressive of indignation.God does not merely sigh over human iniquity, looking upon it as a lapse, an unhappy thing, a circumstance that ought to have been otherwise; His tone is poignant, judicial, indignant, for not only is His heart wounded,... read more

Isaiah 1:5-6Why should ye be stricken any more?--The power of evil habitsThere are no passages in Holy Writ more affecting than those in which God seems to represent Himself as actually at a loss, not knowing what further steps to take in order to bring men to repentance and faith (Isaiah 5:4; Hosea 6:4). Of course, the chastisements may be continued, but the experience of the past attests but a strong likelihood that further afflictions would effect no reform. God, therefore, can only ask, and... read more

Isaiah 1:8A cottage in a vineyardA lodge in a gardenThe true point of the comparison will not appear until the crop is over, and the lodge forsaken by the keeper.Then the poles fall down or lean every way, and those green boughs with which it is shaded will have been scattered by the wind leaving only a ragged, sprawling wreck,--a most affecting type of utter desolation--“as Sodom, and like unto Gomorrah.” (Thomson’s “The, Land and the Book. ”) read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 1:9

Isaiah 1:9Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very mall remnant.The influence of good men1. God’s greatness in the universe. The “Lord of hosts,” or Jehovah of hosts. Who are His “hosts”? Angels. Who shall count the number of these troops? He is their Creator and Sustainer. 2. God’s authority over good men. He is here represented as having “left a very small remnant.” whilst an existences are absolutely His, He has a special interest in the good. He keeps good men here as long as He... read more

Isaiah 1:10Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of SodomThe true prophet deals with the needs of the presentIt is a very miserable thing for a preacher when he lives wholly either in the past or in the future, and so allows either the one or the other to divert him from the duty he owes to God in the present.What is more pitiful, more unlike the idea of a true prophet, than to find one whose work is to preach to men of the twentieth century occupying his time in discoursing of the sins of the... read more
