Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 30:14

_ _ he — the enemy; or rather, God (Psalms 2:9; Jeremiah 19:11).

_ _ It — the Jewish state.

_ _ potter’s vessel — earthen and fragile.

_ _ sherd — a fragment of the vessel large enough to take up a live coal, etc.

_ _ pit — cistern or pool. The swell of the wall is at first imperceptible and gradual, but at last it comes to the crisis; so the decay of the Jewish state.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 30:8-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 30:14

He — Gods
