Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 47:8

_ _ given to pleasures — (See on Isaiah 47:1). In no city were there so many incentives to licentiousness.

_ _ I am ... none ... beside me — (Isaiah 47:10). Language of arrogance in man’s mouth; fitting for God alone (Isaiah 45:6). See Isaiah 5:8, latter part.

_ _ widow ... loss of children — A state, represented as a female, when it has fallen is called a widow, because its king is no more; and childless, because it has no inhabitants; they having been carried off as captives (Isaiah 23:4; Isaiah 54:1, Isaiah 54:4, Isaiah 54:5; Revelation 18:7, Revelation 18:8).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 47:7-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 47:8

I am — Independent, and self — sufficient. None — Which is not either subject to me, or far inferior to me in power and glory. Shall not sit — I shall never want either a king or people to defend me.
