Isaiah 47:6

Isaiah 47:6

4 As for ^aour Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name,
The Holy One of Israel.

5 “Sit in ^asilence, and go into darkness,
O daughter of the Chaldeans;
^bFor you shall no longer be called
The Lady of Kingdoms.

6 ^aI was angry with My people;
^bI have profaned My inheritance,
And given them into your hand.
You showed them no mercy;
^cOn the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.

7 And you said, ‘I shall be ^aa lady forever,’
So that you did not ^btake these things to heart,
^cNor remember the latter end of them.

8 “Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures,
Who dwell securely,
Who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me;
I shall not sit as a widow,
Nor shall I know the loss of children’;

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 47:5

Isaiah 47:7 >>

Polluted - I cast them away as an unclean thing. Into thine hand - To punish them. No mercy - Thou hast exceeded the bounds of thy commission. The ancient - Who besides their common calamity were afflicted with the miseries of old age, and therefore did require both pity and reverence.
