Commentary on Isaiah 9:21

Theological / Devotional

Manasseh, Ephraim. These two tribes were brethren and had common interests. But when Ephraim was arrayed against Manasseh and Manasseh against Ephraim, the common destruction of both was certain. And when these two tribes arrayed themselves against their brother Judah, they were making certain the fact that their final day of doom had come. No nation can pass through such a welter of crime, lust, and blood, as was the case with the northern kingdom during the early lifetime of Isaiah, and long endure.

Stretched out still. A further list of crimes for which the Lord’s hand continued to be stretched out in judgment is given in the following chapter, which continues the line of thought without a break.
