Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 1:1-2

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 text deals with the three great thoughts, the leit-motifs that are sounded over and over again in the prophet’s... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 1:3

Isaiah THE GREAT SUIT: JEHOVAH VERSUS JUDAH THE STUPIDITY OF GODLESSNESS Isa_1:3 . This is primarily an indictment against Israel, but it touches us all. ‘Doth not know’ i.e. has no familiar acquaintance with; ‘doth not consider,’ i.e. frivolously ignores, never meditates on. I. This is a common attitude of mind towards God. Blank indifference towards Him is far more frequent than conscious hostility. Take a hundred men at random as they hurry through the streets, and how many of them... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 1:1-9

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

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 1:1

Introduction. ‘The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.’ Isaiah’s prophecies date from the year of Uzziah’s death (Isaiah 6:1) in aound 740 BC, through the period when the independence of Judah was lost by Ahaz, who refused to trust Yahweh for deliverance and instead turned to Assyria for help (2 Kings 16:7), to the great success under Hezekiah when Yahweh amazingly delivered Jerusalem... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 1:1-31

Isaiah Outlines The Message He Is Bringing (Isaiah 1:1-31 ). This introductory message is also presented in balanced chiastic form. a He calls on Creation to be aware of God’s judgment on His people (Isaiah 1:2-3). b The description of Judah and Jerusalem’s present state, they are almost like Sodom and Gomorrah (Isaiah 1:3-9) c What God has against His people is that their outward religion is not matched by inner response (Isaiah 1:10-15). c The inner response that God requires is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 1:2-9

He Calls On Creation To Be Aware of God’s Judgment on His People (Isaiah 1:2-9 ). The book begins with a chiasmus, a pattern which had been commonly used in the Pentateuch, and which has also been depicted above, whereby statements are made, and then applied one way or another in reverse order. Opening Indictment (Isaiah 1:2-3 ). Isaiah 1:2-3 a “Hear, O heavens, give ear, O earth, b For Yahweh has spoken. c I have nourished and brought up children, d And they have rebelled against Me. d The... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 1:2-9

Isaiah 1:2-1 Samuel : . Let heaven and earth hear with amazement Yahweh’ s complaint. He has reared His people with the kindliest care, and they (pathetic emphasis) have repaid Him with unfilial ingratitude. Ox and ass find their way to their owner’ s house, but Israel displays no such intelligence ( Jeremiah 8:7). With fourfold term of reproach the prophet expostulates with them for their mad folly. Do you wish to be smitten still more severely, to go on revolting more and more? The whole... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 1:1

The vision, or, the visions; the word being here collectively used, as it Isaiah 22:1; 1 Samuel 3:1. The sense is, This is the book of the visions or prophecies. As prophets were called seers, 1 Samuel 9:9, so prophecies are called visions, because they were as clearly and certainly represented to the prophets' minds as bodily objects are to men's eyes. Amoz; either the brother of Amaziah king of Judah, as the Hebrew writers fancy; or rather, some other person then well known. Saw, i.e. foresaw... read more
