God's wrath and the people's joy, in the destruction of Assyria Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: This phrase emphasizes the authority and holiness of God, who is speaking directly to His people. The title "Holy One of Israel" is used frequently in Isaiah, highlighting God's unique relationship with Israel and His moral purity. It underscores the seriousness of the message that follows, as it comes from the divine source. This title also connects to other parts of Isaiah where God is portrayed as both a judge and a redeemer (Isaiah 1:4, 41:14). Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit, Persons / Places / Events 1. The Holy One of IsraelThis title refers to God, emphasizing His holiness and His special relationship with Israel. It underscores His authority and the seriousness of His message. 2. Israel The nation to whom the message is directed. At this time, Israel was often turning away from God, seeking alliances with other nations instead of relying on Him. 3. Isaiah The prophet through whom God delivers this message. Isaiah's role was to call Israel back to faithfulness and warn them of the consequences of their rebellion. 4. Oppression and Deceit These are the false securities that Israel was relying on instead of trusting in God. They represent the moral and spiritual corruption prevalent in the society. 5. Rejection of the Message This refers to Israel's refusal to heed God's warnings and instructions, choosing instead to follow their own misguided plans. Teaching Points The Danger of Rejecting God's MessageIgnoring God's word leads to spiritual and moral decay. Israel's rejection of God's message resulted in reliance on false securities. Trusting in the Wrong Things Placing trust in oppression and deceit is futile. True security comes from trusting in God alone. The Consequences of Misplaced Trust Relying on human schemes and deceit leads to downfall. God's wisdom and guidance are the only reliable sources of security. The Call to Repentance God’s message through Isaiah is a call to return to Him. Repentance and faithfulness are necessary for restoration. The Holiness of God Recognizing God as the "Holy One of Israel" reminds us of His purity and the standard to which He calls His people.(12) Because ye despise this word--i.e., the message which Isaiah had delivered against the alliance with Egypt. We note how the prophet enforces it, as coming from that very Holy One of Israel of whom they were tired of hearing.Verse 12. - Because ye despise this word; rather, because ye reject this word (see 1 Samuel 8:7; 1 Samuel 15:23, 26; 2 Kings 17:15, etc.). The "word" intended is probably the prophecy against trusting in Egypt (vers. 1-7). And trust in oppression; or, extortion. Oppressive measures employed to obtain the rich gifts which had to be sent into Egypt (ver. 6) are probably intended (setup. 2 Kings 15:20). Gratz and Cheyne change the reading from 'oshek to 'ikkesh ("perverseness"); but without any necessity. And perverseness; literally, crookedness; i.e. "tortuous policy" (Kay). And stay thereon; rather, lean or stay yourselves thereon. Parallel Commentaries ...
