Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 27:11

_ _ boughs ... broken off — so the Jews are called (Romans 11:17, Romans 11:19, Romans 11:20).

_ _ set ... on fire — burn them as fuel; “women” are specified, as probably it was their office to collect fuel and kindle the fire for cooking.

_ _ no understanding — as to the ways of God (Deuteronomy 32:28, Deuteronomy 32:29; Jeremiah 5:21; Hosea 4:6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 27:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 27:11

Broken — That there may be no hopes of their recovery. Women — He mentions women, because the men would be destroyed. Not understanding — They know not the things which concerns their peace, but they blindly and wilfully go on in sin. Therefore — Thus he overthrows their conceit that God would never destroy the work of his own hands.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off: the (l) women come, [and] set them on fire: for it [is] a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favour.

(l) God will not have need of mighty enemies: for the very women will do it to their great shame.
