Isaiah 9:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 9:9

7 Of the increase of His government and peace
^aThere will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The ^bzeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

The Punishment of Samaria

8 The Lord sent a word against ^aJacob,
And it has fallen on Israel.

9 All the people will know—
Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria—
Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:

10 “The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with hewn stones;
The sycamores are cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”

11 Therefore the Lord shall set up
The adversaries of Rezin against him,
And spur his enemies on,

12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind;
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is¹ stretched out still.

13 For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them,
Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts.

14 Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel,
Palm branch and bulrush ^ain one day.
