Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 58:1-14

Isaiah 58:1-2 Chronicles : . Fasting, False and True.— Yahweh bids the prophet explain to His people wherein their sin lies. Daily they attend the Temple, seeking to know His will for all the world as though their one aim were to do it! They question the priests as to correct ritual—“ righteous ordinances”— and delight in daily worship. “ Why,” they ask, “ when we fast does Yahweh take no notice of our pleas?” Because on their fast-days they pursue their business— so render rather than “... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 58:11

Shall guide thee, viz. like a shepherd, Psalms 23:1-3; or, as the Vulgate; shall give thee rest; and so it may relate to the rest that God would give them in Judea, upon their return from captivity, as answering to their complaints in Babylon, Lamentations 5:5. And he adds continually, to show that his conduct and blessing shall not be momentary, or of a short continuance, but all along, as he did to Israel in the wilderness, not leaving them till he brought them into Canaan. Drought, Heb.... read more

THE REWARDS OF BENEVOLENCEIsaiah 58:10-12. If thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, &c.The Bible has one grand and peculiar character,—it is the book of goodness; it everywhere recommends and extols the principle of benevolence; its two grand precepts are love to God and love to man. It never dispenses with either. Knowledge, gifts of tongues, and even faith without works is dead. Of all the striking exhibitions of the beauty and value of this cardinal quality, none can excel the one given... read more

A HAPPY CHRISTIANIsaiah 58:11. And the Lord shall guide thee continually, &c.The portrait of what the Christian is in his happiest times. The setting is a framework of duties (Isaiah 58:9, &c.). These blessings are not promised unconditionally, but they are fenced in with terms. I must, therefore, address myself to those who are living in the faith, &c., while I depict their happy state. Five distinct features of their felicity are mentioned. They are described as enjoying—I.... read more

DISCOURSE: 993THE SERVICES WHICH GOD REQUIRESIsaiah 58:5-11. Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord? Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burthens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 58:1-14

Chapter 58Cry aloud, spare not ( Isaiah 58:1 ),The Lord is commanding now the prophet Isaiah.lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgressions, and the house of Jacob their sins. Yet they seek me daily ( Isaiah 58:1-2 ),Now there was a real inconsistency here, because the attendance at the temple worship had not diminished at all. People were still going through outward forms of religion. There was a popular religious movement on the surface, but the heart of the people... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 58:1-14

Isaiah 58:1 . Cry aloud, spare not; lift up thy voice like a trumpet. It is not doubted by the Jews, nor by St. Jerome, that Isaiah lived to the beginning of Manasseh’s idolatrous reign; nor that he was sawn asunder, while opposing idolatry. Against sins which ruin a nation, the ministers of God must raise their voice, and not keep silence. Isaiah 58:3 . Wherefore have we fasted? The fasts of the Hebrews were many. Zechariah 7:3. The annual fast was on the tenth day of the seventh... read more

II. GOD REBUTS THEIR BLASPHEMOUS CHARGE, AND ASSERTS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF HIS DEALINGS IN AN APPEAL TO THEIR OWN CONSCIENCES AND COMMON-SENSE. III.

Isaiah 58:9-11Then shalt thou callGod’s wonderful response to His people’s prayersWhen God calls to us by His Word, it becomes us to say, “Here we are; what saith our Lord unto His servants?” But that God should say to us, “Behold Me, here I am,” is strange. When we cry to Him, as if He were at a distance, He will let us know that He is near, even at our right hand, nearer than we thought He was. “It is I, be not afraid.” When danger is near, our Protector is nearer, a very present help. “Here... read more

The whole life of the Christian after his conversion is a discipline fitted to purify and exalt his character. What, then, are the works and exercises that tend most to build up Christian character to a lofty height?
