Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 48:2

Theological / Devotional

The holy city. These renegades profess to be citizens of Zion, but are so only in name (see Isa. 29:13; Jer. 7:4, 9-11; Micah 3:11; Matt. 3:9; 15:8; John 8:33, 39; Rom. 4:1, 2; 9:6). They seek the benefits that accrue from loyalty to God but are unwilling to pay the price of obedience (see on Matt. 7:21-27). They want all the privileges of discipleship but refuse to shoulder its responsibilities.
