Isaiah 57:16
_ _ For — referring to the promise in Isaiah 57:14, Isaiah 57:15, of restoring Israel when “contrite” (Genesis 6:3; Genesis 8:21; Psalms 78:38, Psalms 78:39; Psalms 85:5; Psalms 103:9, Psalms 103:13, Psalms 103:14; Micah 7:18). God “will not contend for ever” with His people, for their human spirit would thereby be utterly crushed, whereas God’s object is to chasten, not to destroy them (Lamentations 3:33, Lamentations 3:34; Micah 7:8, Micah 7:9). With the ungodly He is “angry every day” (Psalms 7:11; Revelation 14:11).
_ _ spirit ... before me — that is, the human spirit which went forth from Me (Numbers 16:22), answering to “which I have made” in the parallel clause. |
Isaiah 57:16
For — I will not proceed to the utmost severity with sinful men. |
Isaiah 57:16
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always angry: (s) for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.
(s) I will not use my power against frail man, whose life is but a blast. |
- I will not:
Psalms 78:38-39 But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. ... For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
Psalms 85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
Psalms 103:9-16 He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] for ever. ... For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
Jeremiah 10:24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
Micah 7:18 Who [is] a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.
|
- the souls:
Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Numbers 16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
Job 34:14-15 If he set his heart upon man, [if] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; ... All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Jeremiah 38:16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, [As] the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
Zechariah 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
