Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 4:4

_ _ When — that is, After.

_ _ washed — (Zechariah 13:1).

_ _ filth — moral (Isaiah 1:21-25).

_ _ daughters of Zion — same as in Isaiah 3:16.

_ _ purged — purified by judgments; destroying the ungodly, correcting and refining the godly.

_ _ blood — (Isaiah 1:15).

_ _ spirit — Whatever God does in the universe, He does by His Spirit, “without the hand” of man (Job 34:20; Psalms 104:30). Here He is represented using His power as Judge.

_ _ burning — (Matthew 3:11, Matthew 3:12). The same Holy Ghost, who sanctifies believers by the fire of affliction (Malachi 3:2, Malachi 3:3), dooms unbelievers to the fire of perdition (1 Corinthians 3:13-15).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 4:2-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 4:4

When — This shall be accomplished when God hath throughly cleansed the Jewish nation from their sins. The blood — The blood — guiltiness, and especially that of killing the Lord of life. Burning — This is opposed to the former legal way of purification, which was by water. The Holy Spirit of old accompanied the preaching of the gospel, and did this work in part, and will do it fully. This spirit may well be called a spirit of judgment, because it executes judgment in the church, and in the consciences of men, separating the precious from the vile, convincing men of sin, and righteousness, and judgment. And the same spirit may be fitly called the spirit of burning, because he doth burn up and consume the dross which is in the church, and in the hearts of men, and inflames the souls of believers with love to God, and zeal for his glory.
