Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 27:9

_ _ By this — exile of Israel (the “sending away,” Isaiah 27:8).

_ _ purged — expiated [Horsley].

_ _ all the fruit — This is the whole benefit designed to be brought about by the chastisement; namely, the removal of his (Israel’s) sin (namely, object of idolatry; Deuteronomy 9:21; Hosea 10:8).

_ _ when he — Jehovah; at the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, His instrument. The Jews ever since have abhorred idolatry (compare Isaiah 17:8).

_ _ not stand up — shall rise no more [Horsley].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 27:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 27:9

By this — By this manner of God's dealing with them. When — Which sin of Jacob's shall be purged, when he shall truly repent of all his sins, and especially of his idolatry. Altar — Their idolatrous altars. Possibly he may say the altar, with respect to that particular altar, which Ahaz had set upon the place of God's own altar; and this prophecy might be delivered in Ahaz's time, while that altar stood. Chalk — stones — When he shall break all those goodly altars in pieces. Not stand — Shall be thrown down with contempt.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 27:9

By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this [is] all the (i) fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten asunder, the idols and images shall not stand up.

(i) He shows that there is no true repentance nor full reconciliation to God, till the heart is purged from all idolatry and the monuments of it are destroyed.
