Bible Commentary for Isaiah 22:15

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 22:15


22:13 Let us, &c. - A most perverse and desperate conclusion.

22:14 'Till ye die - You shall feel the sad effects of this, as long as you live.

22:16 What - What right hast thou to this place and office? Whom - What kindred or relations? For the Jews say, he was a stranger by birth; which is the more probable, because his pedigree is not mentioned in any of those places of scripture where he is named. On high - In an high and eminent place. An habitation - He erected a stately house to live in, and a stately sepulchre to receive him when he died. And these two are fitly joined together, because their sepulchres were commonly built in or near their houses. A rock - A fit place both for strength and state.

22:17 Will carry - Will cause thee to be carried into captivity by a strong hand. Cover - This may be an allusion to the ancient custom of covering the faces of condemned persons.
