Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 10:17

Isaiah LIGHT OR FIRE? Isa_10:17 . With grand poetry the prophet pictures the Assyrian power as a forest consumed like thistles and briers by the fire of God. The text suggests solemn truths about the divine Nature and its manifestations. I. The Essential Character of God. Light and Holiness are substantially parallel. Light symbolises purity, but also knowledge and joy. Holiness is Separation from Creatures, but chiefly from their Evils. II. The Different Attitudes which Men assume to... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-19

the Mighty Laid Low Isaiah 10:5-19 This question is addressed to the Assyrian invader, described as God’s staff and rod. He was the means of inflicting deserved penalty on the world of that age, and especially on the Chosen People. He had no thought of this, but considered himself free to wreak his will without reference to that Higher Power whose agent he was. But the ruthless manner in which he carried out his work was destined to come under the divine judgment, Isaiah 10:12-15 . The... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 10:33-34

the Kingdom of the Messiah Isaiah 10:33-34 ; Isaiah 11:1-9 The advance of the Assyrian along the great north road is graphically described. It was marked by raided villages and towns. The night sky was lurid with flames. But his collapse would be as sudden and irretrievable as the felling of forest timber. As the one chapter closes we can almost hear the crash of the Assyrian tree to the ground, and there is no sprout from his roots. But in the next the prophet descries a fair and healthy... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:5-34

This is a prophecy of judgment on Assyria, and is full of interest. Assyria is the power which Jehovah is using for the punishment of His people, but because it fails to understand its true relation to God, it, in turn, will be judged. The prophet first indicates this contrast of intention. Jehovah's intention is that the Assyrian shall be a rod in His hand. The Assyrian intention is to destroy the people of God. He then declares the divine purpose. The Lord will accomplish His work on... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:7

AN UNCONSCIOUS INSTRUMENT‘He meaneth not so.’ Isaiah 10:7 I. Little do bad men ween, in all their pride and power, that they are but rods and instruments in the hand of God, and that He will lay them aside when He has done with them.—‘He meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so.’ So, child of God, be not dismayed by the proud boastings of your oppressor. It is but for a moment. II. Meekly bend beneath the Father’s rod.—Think not of the man who hurts you—the Shimei that curses, the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:15

THE WORKER AND HIS TOOLS‘Shall the axe boast itself against him that beweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.’ Isaiah 10:15 The subject before us is— I. The real connection of human industry with God. II. The disconnection of industrial pursuits from God in the minds of men generally.I. Let us learn to separate human handiwork... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:27

THE YOKE-DESTROYING ANOINTING‘The yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.’ Isaiah 10:27 I. The Assyrian yoke of old was not so real, so tangible, so continually felt a yoke, as that under which many a child of God is writhing; yet they are ‘called unto liberty,’ even ‘the glorious liberty of the children of God.’ And if the yoke of sin is felt to be real, the promised destruction of it surely will not be less so. If it is, as we know by sorrowful experience, no imaginary bondage,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:5-15

1). God First Calls On His Selected Instrument To Act But Then Rebukes Him For Overreacting (Isaiah 10:5-15 ). In this vivid illustration Assyria is depicted as being the rod of God’s anger. Assyria might think that they are acting under the instructions of their own gods, but the real truth is that they are being used by Yahweh to do His will. Analysis. a Ho, Assyria, the rod of My anger, in whose hand is the staff of My indignation. I will send him against a profane (godless) nation, and... read more
