Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 28:22

IRRELIGIOUS MOCKERYIsaiah 28:22. Now, therefore, be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong.The sense of the ludicrous is excited by words, ideas, images, or objects in which unexpected resemblances are seen in things previously considered incongruous, or in which incongruity is perceived where complete resemblance was supposed. The perception of the ludicrous varies. Where it exists in connection with the ability to convey the ludicrous idea in language, it is called wit. It is one of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 28:24-25

THE PARABLE OF THE HUSBANDMANIsaiah 28:24-25. Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? &c. [1117][1117] In this parable the mystery of the Divine Providence is laid open, its secret disclosed. All ploughing is for sowing; all threshing is intended for the preservation of the grain. When God chastens us, it is not that He means to destroy us, but because He has set His heart on saving us, because He has appointed us to life and not to death. He works with discrimination. He employs various... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 28:29

A FEAST FOR FAITHIsaiah 28:29. This also cometh forth from the Lord of Hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.The sentiment of the text is that the art, and science, and skill of man are the gifts of God. The prophet instances only agriculture, but the same principle applies to all the arts and manufactures, and in a higher degree still to those sublimer sciences which elevate the human mind, and make us acquainted with the majestic and mysterious powers of nature. The... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:16

Isaiah 28:16 I. The Christian thrives better from not being permitted to make haste in acquirements. This passage is directed against anything like hurry or bustle. It does not so much declare that the believer can never advance rapidly as that he shall never move with that agitated step which betokens insecurity. It does not denote a sluggish pace to be unavoidable; but simply implies that what is hasty and sudden will not be allowed. And a little reflection will convince us of the advantages... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:17

Isaiah 28:17 All men know themselves to be sinners against God. They know, also, that as sinners they are in peril and are not safe. Hence their anxiety to find some refuge for safety. They know they might find this in the way of forsaking sin and turning to the Lord; but they do not choose to forsake their sins. Hence there seems to be no convenient resource but to hide themselves under some refuge. Our text speaks of the "refuge of lies." Notice some of these refuges. I. An unsanctifying hope... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Isaiah 28:20

The Bed and Its Covering January 9th, 1859 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it." Isaiah 28:20 . God has so made men, that there are two things essential for their comfort, if not for their very existence, namely, sleep and clothing. Had God so pleased it, he might have made man an everlasting watcher, upon whose eyes the mists of night never should descend, and upon... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:1-29

Isaiah 28:1 . The crown of pride. Sebaste, the ancient Samaria, is situated on a long mount of an oval figure, having first a fruitful valley, and then a circle of hills running round about it. Maundrell, p. 58. The city is beautifully situated on the top of a round hill, surrounded immediately by a rich valley, and a circle of other hills beyond it, which first suggested the idea of a chaplet, or wreath of flowers, worn on their heads on occasions of festivity. This expressed “a crown of... read more
