Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 6:10

Theological / Devotional

Make the heart. The spiritual perceptions of Israel would prove to be so dull that they would fail to heed even the most stirring messages Heaven should send. The situation would be similar to that of Pharaoh when his heart was hardened and he refused to comply with the message of the Lord given by Moses (see on Ex. 4:21). In the days of Isaiah it was not the Lord who blinded the eyes of the people or made their heart heavy; they brought this condition upon themselves by their rejection of the warnings God sent them. With each rejection of truth the heart becomes harder and the spiritual perceptions more dull, until at length there is utter inability to perceive spiritual things. God takes no delight in the death of the wicked, and does everything possible to turn them from their evil ways, in order that they might live and not die (Eze. 18:23-32; 33:11; 1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9).
