Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 3:2

_ _ Fulfilled (2 Kings 24:14).

_ _ prudent — the Hebrew often means a “soothsayer” (Deuteronomy 18:10-14); thus it will mean, the diviners, on whom they rely, shall in that day fail. It is found in a good sense (Proverbs 16:10), from which passage the Jews interpret it a king; “without” whom Israel long has been (Hosea 3:4).

_ _ ancient — old and experienced (1 Kings 12:6-8).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 3:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 3:2

The judge — The civil magistrates. The ancient — Whose wisdom was increased by long experience.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 3:2

The mighty man, and the man of war, (b) the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

(b) The temporal governor and the minister.
