2 the hero and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the diviner and the elder,
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
2 the mighty man and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the diviner and the elder,
2 He's withdrawing police and protection, judges and courts, pastors and teachers,
2 The mighty man and the man of war, The judge and the prophet, And the diviner and the elder;
2 all their heroes and soldiers, judges and prophets, fortune-tellers and elders,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 3:2
Commentary on Isaiah 3:1-9
(Read Isaiah 3:1-9)
God was about to deprive Judah of every stay and support. The city and the land were to be made desolate, because their words and works had been rebellious against the Lord; even at his holy temple. If men do not stay themselves upon God, he will soon remove all other supports, and then they must sink. Christ is the Bread of life and the Water of life; if he be our Stay, we shall find that is a good part not to be taken away, John 6:27. Here note, 1. That the condition of sinners is exceedingly woful. 2. It is the soul that is damaged by sin. 3. Whatever evil befals sinners, be sure that they bring it on themselves.
