Isaiah 47
Concise Complete
God's judgments on Babylon. (1-6) Carelessness and
confidence shall not prevent the evil. (7-15)
Verses 1-6 Babylon
is represented under the emblem of a female in deep distress. She was to be
degraded and endure sufferings; and is represented sitting on the ground,
grinding at the handmill, the lowest and most laborious service. God was
righteous in his vengeance, and none should interpose. The prophet exults in the
Lord of hosts, as the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel. God often permits wicked
men to prevail against his people; but those who cruelly oppress them will be
punished.
Verses 7-15 Let
us beware of acting and speaking as Babylon did; of trusting in tyranny and
oppression; of boasting as to our abilities, relying on ourselves, and ascribing
success to our own prudence and wisdom; lest we partake of her plagues. Those in
the height of prosperity, are apt to fancy themselves out of the reach of
adversity. It is also common for sinners to think they shall be safe, because
they think to be secret in wicked ways. But their security shall be their ruin.
Let us draw from such passages as the foregoing, those lessons of humility and
trust in God which they convey. If we believe the word of God, we may know how
it will be with the righteous and the wicked to all eternity. We may learn how
to escape the wrath to come, to glorify God, to have peace through life, hope in
death, and everlasting happiness. Let us then stand aloof from all delusions.
