14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea. 15 Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires,
14 They lift up their voices, they sing for joy; over the majesty of the Lord they shout from the west.
14 But there are some who will break into glad song. Out of the west they'll shout of God's majesty. 15 Yes, from the east God's glory will ascend. Every island of the sea Will broadcast God's fame, the fame of the God of Israel.
14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; For the majesty of the Lord They shall cry aloud from the sea. 15 Therefore glorify the Lord in the dawning light, The name of the Lord God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.
14 But all who are left shout and sing for joy. Those in the west praise the Lord 's majesty. 15 In eastern lands, give glory to the Lord . In the lands beyond the sea, praise the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 24:14-15
Commentary on Isaiah 24:13-15
(Read Isaiah 24:13-15)
There shall be a remnant preserved from the general ruin, and it shall be a devout and pious remnant. These few are dispersed; like the gleanings of the olive tree, hid under the leaves. The Lord knows those that are his; the world does not. When the mirth of carnal worldlings ceases, the joy of the saints is as lively as ever, because the covenant of grace, the fountain of their comforts, and the foundation of their hopes, never fails. Those who rejoice in the Lord can rejoice in tribulation, and by faith may triumph when all about them are in tears. They encourage their fellow-sufferers to do likewise, even those who are in the furnace of affliction. Or, in the valleys, low, dark, miry places. In every fire, even the hottest, in every place, even the remotest, let us keep up our good thoughts of God. If none of these trials move us, then we glorify the Lord in the fires.
