Isaiah 1:4
_ _ people — the peculiar designation of God’s elect nation (Hosea 1:10), that they should be “laden with iniquity” is therefore the more monstrous. Sin is a load (Psalms 38:4; Matthew 11:28).
_ _ seed — another appellation of God’s elect (Genesis 12:7; Jeremiah 2:21), designed to be a “holy seed” (Isaiah 6:13), but, awful to say, “evildoers!”
_ _ children — by adoption (Hosea 11:1), yet “evildoers”; not only so, but “corrupters” of others (Genesis 6:12); the climax. So “nation — people — seed children.”
_ _ provoked — literally, “despised,” namely, so as to provoke (Proverbs 1:30, Proverbs 1:31).
_ _ Holy One of Israel — the peculiar heinousness of their sin, that it was against their God (Amos 3:2).
_ _ gone ... backward — literally, “estranged” (Psalms 58:3). |
Isaiah 1:4
A seed — The children of wicked parents, whose guilt they inherit, and whose evil example they follow. Corrupters — Heb. that corrupt themselves, or others by their counsel and example. Backward — Instead of proceeding forward and growing in grace. |
Isaiah 1:4

(h) That is, him that sanctifies Israel. |
