Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 16:3-5.


Isaiah 16:5

_ _ If Judah shelters the suppliant Moab, allowing him to remain in Idumea, a blessing will redound to Judah itself and its “throne.”

_ _ truth ... judgment ... righteousness — language so divinely framed as to apply to “the latter days” under King Messiah, when “the Lord shall bring again the captivity of Moab” (Psalms 72:2; Psalms 96:13; Psalms 98:9; Jeremiah 48:47; Romans 11:12).

_ _ hasting — “prompt in executing.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 16:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 16:5

In mercy — By my mercy. I am now punishing their sins, yet I will deliver them for my own mercy's sake. The throne — The kingdom of Judah. He — Their king. In truth — That is, firmly and constantly; for truth is often put for the stability and certainty of a thing, as 2 Chronicles 32:1; Proverbs 11:18. Tabernacle — ln the house, or palace, which is called a tent, or tabernacle, with respect to the unsettledness of David's house, which now indeed was more like a tabernacle than a strong palace. Seeking — Searching out the truth of things with care and diligence. Hasting — Neither denying, nor yet delaying justice.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 16:5

And in mercy shall the throne be established: (e) and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and swiftly executing righteousness.
