Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 28:5-13.


Isaiah 28:11

_ _ For — rather, “Truly.” This is Isaiah’s reply to the scoffers: Your drunken questions shall be answered by the severe lessons from God conveyed through the Assyrians and Babylonians; the dialect of these, though Semitic, like the Hebrew, was so far different as to sound to the Jews like the speech of stammerers (compare Isaiah 33:19; Isaiah 36:11). To them who will not understand God will speak still more unintelligibly.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 28:9-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

For with stammering (k) lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

(k) Let one teach what he can, yet they will no more understand him, than if he spoke in a strange language.
