The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 1:5-9

The Desolation of Zion v. 5. Why, that is, to what end and purpose, should ye be stricken any more? Ye will revolt more and more, or, "while ye are revolting more and more. " The case was such that Israel heaped rebellion upon blasphemy, always becoming subject to more severe forms of punishment, and yet no beneficial result showed. The whole head is sick and the whole heart faint, that is, the entire nation, leaders and followers, within and without, were suffering from the consequences of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 1:10-15

Rebuke of Hypocritical Worship v. 10. Hear the Word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, for as such Jehovah addresses the princes of Jerusalem; give ear unto the Law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah, whose conduct was characterized by pride, the lust of the flesh, and lack of mercy. The thought underlying this turn of the prophet's solemn appeal is this, that the Jews might have desired to object to his rebuke by pointing to the apparent splendor of the Temple-worship. v. 11. To what purpose... read more

Suggesting the only Way of Relief v. 16. Wash you, in a true and thorough cleansing of the heart, make you clean, namely, from the polluting effect of their wicked behavior; put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes, so that it will no longer be within the range of His vision, these three admonitions being the negative demands made by the Lord; cease to do evil, withdrawing from its influence, overcoming it by a steady wrestling against its influence; v. 17. learn to do well,... read more

Isaiah THE GREAT SUIT: JEHOVAH VERSUS JUDAH Isa_1:1 - Isa_1:9 ; Isa_1:16 - Isa_1:20 . The first bars of the great overture to Isaiah’s great oratorio are here sounded. These first chapters give out the themes which run through all the rest of his prophecies. Like most introductions, they were probably written last, when the prophet collected and arranged his life’s labours.

the Ingratitude of a Favored Nation Isaiah 1:1-9 This chapter forms the preface to the prophecies of Isaiah. It is a clear and concise statement of the points at issue between Jehovah and His people. Special urgency was given to these appeals, when first uttered, from the fact which was well-known to the Hebrew politicians and people, that Assyria was preparing for a great war of conquest, which would be directed specially against Jerusalem and her allies. This chapter is east in the form of... read more

Religion without Righteousness Vain Isaiah 1:10-20 The prophet points out, first the misery that had overtaken the country, Isaiah 1:4-9 ; and then the sins of the ruling classes, Isaiah 1:10 ; Isaiah 1:17 ; Isaiah 1:21-23 . What may be called personal and private sins, such as drunkenness, vanity, bribery, and the oppression of the poor, are viewed in their public hearing, as bringing wrath and disaster on the whole nation. No man can sin by himself. His most private sins react on the whole... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 1:1-31

Isaiah was a prophet to Judah. He exercised his ministry wholly within her borders, and with a view to her correction and comfort. His burdens of the nations were uttered concerning those nations which surrounded Judah, and had harassed her. His outlook was world-wide, and inclusive of the whole purpose of God. Profoundly conscious of the purpose of God that through His people all peoples should be blessed, he saw through all the processes of judgment the ultimate blessing of the whole earth. ... read more

A WONDERFUL CLEANSING‘Sins … as scarlet … white as snow.’ Isaiah 1:18 A florist told me that the flowers for which he had the largest sales were white flowers, as these were very fashionable. Have we not had a winter which harmonises with the prevailing fashion? For weeks the snowflakes have been going and returning. I. If you want to realise the whiteness of the snow, try and paint it.—Take a few flakes, and make of them a snow-study and then open your paint-box. You will find you have no... read more
