Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 47:3

_ _ not meet ... as a man — rather, “I will not meet a man,” that is, suffer man to intercede with me — give man an audience [Horsley]. Or, “I will not make peace with any man,” before all are destroyed. Literally, “strike a league with”; a phrase arising from the custom of striking hands together in making a compact [Maurer], (see on Proverbs 17:18; Proverbs 22:26; Proverbs 11:15, Margin). Or else from striking the victims sacrificed in making treaties.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 47:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 47:3

Uncovered — Either for want of raiment to cover it; or rather, by thine enemies in way of scorn and contumely. As a man — With moderation and gentleness, as those men who have not quite put off humanity use to do.
