Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 25:5

Theological / Devotional

Noise of strangers. That is, of “aliens” (see on Ex. 12:19). The thought of Isa. 25:4 continues with a change in the figures employed. Oppression by foreigners is here compared to the withering heat of a prolonged drought that sears the pastures and parches the land. The shadow. The “heat” will be dispelled by a cooling “cloud” God brings to overshadow His people. The branch. Literally, “the song,” as the word is translated elsewhere (Ps. 119:54; Isa. 24:16; etc.). When the Lord intervenes the song of these ruthless enemies of God’s people will be stilled.
