Isaiah 34:5
_ _ sword — (Jeremiah 46:10). Or else, knife for sacrifice for God does not here appear as a warrior with His sword, but as one about to sacrifice victims doomed to slaughter [Vitringa]. (Ezekiel 39:17).
_ _ bathed — rather “intoxicated,” namely, with anger (so Deuteronomy 32:42). “In heaven” implies the place where God’s purpose of wrath is formed in antithesis to its “coming down” in the next clause.
_ _ Idumea — originally extending from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea; afterwards they obtained possession of the country east of Moab, of which Bozrah was capital. Petra or Selah, called Joktheel (2 Kings 14:7), was capital of South Edom (see on Isaiah 16:1). David subjugated Edom (2 Samuel 8:13, 2 Samuel 8:14). Under Jehoram they regained independence (2 Chronicles 21:8). Under Amaziah they were again subdued, and Selah taken (2 Kings 14:7). When Judah was captive in Babylon, Edom, in every way, insulted over her fallen mistress, killed many of those Jews whom the Chaldeans had left, and hence was held guilty of fratricide by God (Esau, their ancestor, having been brother to Jacob): this was the cause of the denunciations of the prophets against Edom (Isaiah 63:1, etc.; Jeremiah 49:7; Ezekiel 25:12-14; Ezekiel 35:3-15; Joel 3:19; Amos 1:11, Amos 1:12; Obadiah 1:8, Obadiah 1:10, Obadiah 1:12-18; Malachi 1:3, Malachi 1:4). Nebuchadnezzar humbled Idumea accordingly (Jeremiah 25:15-21).
_ _ of my curse — that is, doomed to it.
_ _ to judgment — that is, to execute it. |
Isaiah 34:5
Bathed — In the blood of these people. Heaven — Where God dwells; in which this is said to be done, because it was there decreed and appointed. Idumea — Upon the Edomites, who, tho' they were nearly related to the Israelites, yet were their implacable enemies. But these are named for all the enemies of God's church, of whom they were an eminent type. The people — Whom I have cursed, and devoted to utter destruction, as the word properly signifies. |
Isaiah 34:5
For my sword shall be (d) bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of (e) my curse, to judgment.
(d) I have determined in my secret counsel and in the heavens to destroy them till my sword is weary with shedding blood.
(e) They had an opinion of holiness, because they came from the patriarch Isaac, but in effect were cursed by God, and enemies to his Church as the papists are. |
