Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 57:13-16

Here, I. God shows how insufficient idols and creatures were to relieve and succour those that worshipped them and confided in them (Isa. 57:13): ?When thou criest in thy distress and anguish, lamentest thy misery and callest for help, let thy companies deliver thee, thy idol-gods which thou hast heaped to thyself companies of, the troops of the confederate forces which thou hast relied so much upon, let them deliver thee if they can; expect no other relief than what they can give.?

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 57:17-21

The body of the people of Israel, in this account of God's dealings with them, is spoken of as a particular person (Isa. 57:17, 18), but divided into two sorts, differently dealt with?some who were sons of peace, to whom peace is spoken (Isa. 57:19), and others who were not, who have nothing to do with peace, Isa. 57:20, 21. Observe here, I. The just rebukes which that people were brought under for their sin: For the iniquity of his covetousness I was wroth, and smote him. Covetousness was a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 57:13

When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee ,.... From distress and impending ruin, if they can; meaning not the allies and auxiliaries of the Jews, the Egyptians and Assyrians, they sent to for help, as Kimchi, and others; rather, as Jarchi, their idols and graven images they worshipped, angels and saints departed, the Papists pray unto; let them now, in the time of Rome's ruin, renew their addresses to them for help and deliverance, if they can give it: or, "thy gathered ones" F26 ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 57:14

And shall say, cast ye up, cast ye up ,.... A causeway, a highway, for the people of the Jews to return to their own land: this is either said by the Lord, as some supply it; or by the prophet, as Jarchi; or by him that putteth his trust in the Lord, as Kimchi; or rather by one, that is, the first of the living creatures, a set of Gospel ministers, that shall give to the angels, the Protestant princes and potentates, the seven last vials to pour out on the antichristian states, both Papal... read more

For thus saith the high and lofty One ,.... Who is high above the earth, and the nations of it; higher than the kings in it; the King of kings, and Lord of lords; and so able to save his people, and destroy his and their enemies; who is higher than the heavens, and the angels there; who is exalted above the praises of his people; the knowledge of whose being and perfections is too wonderful for them; whose thoughts are higher than theirs; and whose love has a height in it not to be reached... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 57:16

For I will not contend for ever ,.... By afflictive providences; with the humble and contrite, the end being in a great measure answered by their humiliation and contrition; when God afflicts his people, it shows that he has a controversy with them, for their good, and his own glory; and when these ends are obtained, he will carry it on no longer: neither will I be always wroth ; as he seems to be in the apprehensions of his people, when he either hides his face from them, or chastises... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 57:17

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him ,.... Not the greedy watchmen of the church of Rome, Isaiah 56:10 , but teachers and preachers in the reformed churches, who mind their own things, and not the things of Christ; seek after good benefices and livings, temporalities and pluralities, and to be lord bishops; taking the oversight of the flock for filthy lucre sake; which may easily be observed to be the predominant sin of the preachers and professors of the... read more
