Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 42:22

_ _ holes — caught by their foes in the caverns where they had sought refuge [Barnes]. Or bound in subterranean dungeons [Maurer].

_ _ prison-houses — either literal prisons, or their own houses, whence they dare not go forth for fear of the enemy. The connection is: Notwithstanding God’s favor to His people for His righteousness’ sake (Isaiah 42:21), they have fallen into misery (the Babylonish and Romish captivities and their present dispersion), owing to their disregard of the divine law: spiritual imprisonment is included (Isaiah 42:7).

_ _ none saith, Restore — There is no deliverer (Isaiah 63:5).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 42:18-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 42:22

But — But not withstanding this respect which God hath to his people, he hath severely scourged you for your sins. Hid — They have been taken in snares made by their own hands, and by God's just judgment cast into dungeons and prisons. None — None afforded them help.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 42:22

But this [is] a people (z) robbed and plundered; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, (a) Restore.

(z) Because they will not acknowledge this blessing from the Lord, who is ready to deliver them, he permits them to be spoiled by their enemies through their own fault and incredulity.

(a) There will be no one to comfort them , or to will the enemy to restore that which he has spoiled.
