Isaiah 22:1-25, Revelation 3:7

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 22:1-7

1-7 Why is Jerusalem in such terror? Her slain men are not slain with the sword, but with famine; or, slain with fear, disheartened. Their rulers fled, but were overtaken. The servants of God, who foresee and warn sinners of coming miseries, are affected by the prospect. But all the horrors of a city taken by storm, faintly shadow forth the terrors of the day of wrath. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 22:8-14

8-14 The weakness of Judah now appeared more than ever. Now also they discovered their carnal confidence and their carnal security. They looked to the fortifications. They made sure of water for the city. But they were regardless of God in all these preparations. They did not care for his glory in what they did. They did not depend upon him for a blessing on their endeavours. For every creature is to us what God makes it to be; and we must bless him for it, and use it for him. There was great... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 22:15-25

15-25 This message to Shebna is a reproof of his pride, vanity, and security; what vanity is all earthly grandeur, which death will so soon end! What will it avail, whether we are laid in a magnificent tomb, or covered with the green sod? Those who, when in power, turn and toss others, will be justly turned and tossed themselves. Eliakim should be put into Shebna's place. Those called to places of trust and power, should seek to God for grace to enable them to do their duty. Eliakim's... read more

The Oracle of the Valley of Vision v. 1. The burden of the Valley of Vision, literally, "of the Valley of Visions," that is, Jerusalem, where God vouchsafed revelations and visions in larger number than elsewhere, for which reason Jerome called the city the nursery of prophets: What aileth thee now, the people of Jerusalem being addressed here collectively, as one person, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops? the former insolence of the inhabitants having been changed to terror and... read more

The Oracle Against Shebna v. 15. Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, beginning another oracle with the mention of His majestic title, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, the privy councilor, or minister of the interior, in the kingdom, 1 Kings 4:6; 1 Kings 18:3, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, the present incumbent of the office in the king's palace, and say, v. 16.

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 22:1-14

D.—AGAINST THE HAUGHTY AND DEFIANT SPIRIT OF JERUSALEM AND ITS MAGNATESIsaiah 22:0This chapter interrupts the series of prophecies against foreign nations. On account of its emblematic superscription, it is incorporated in the little book (סֵפֶר) that is distinguished by such superscriptions (21 and 22). Hence its present place. It contains two parts of almost equal length. In both, presumption is rebuked; in Isaiah 22:1-7, the presumption of the secure and reckless Jerusalem; in Isaiah... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 22:1-25

In the midst of the prophecies concerning the nations occurs one of protest against the indifference of Jerusalem to the prophet's messages. He first describes the joyous people as they stand in contrast to him, with his sorrow and his broken heart. He introduces his description by inquiring what ails them. He then declares it to be a day of discomfiture, and speaks of the gathering armies and of the siege of the city. It was a day in which Jehovah had called to mourning, and they were filled... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 22:14

THE INEXPIABLE SIN OF ISRAEL‘This iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die.’ Isaiah 22:14 I. In this first half of the discourse directed to the whole of Jerusalem, the prophet assails the presumption with which the inhabitants formerly witnessed the approach of the enemy on an occasion not more closely specified.—He asks the meaning of their going up to the roofs of the houses. It was plainly in order to see the approaching foe, although the prophet does not expressly say this (... read more
