Verse 9 of 24
Commentary
Commentary on Isaiah 29:9
Theological / DevotionalStay yourselves. Isaiah invites the people of Jerusalem to pause in their round of activities to consider the true nature of their situation.
Wonder. Literally, “look in astonishment at one another.”
Cry ye out, and cry. Literally, “gaze [anxiously] about, and look.”
Drunken, but not with wine. From the Assyrian hosts Isaiah turns once more to the people of Jerusalem. He had delivered them a message that might well have made them tremble, but they were like men in a stupor, unable to sense the solemn import of the warning. Sense and reason had been lost, not because of intoxication, but because they were so engrossed with the affairs of earth that they could not comprehend the message from Heaven (see on v. 1).
