Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 57:4

_ _ sport yourselves — make a mock (Isaiah 66:5). Are ye aware of the glory of Him whom you mock, by mocking His servants (“the righteous,” Isaiah 57:1)? (2 Chronicles 36:16).

_ _ make ... wide mouth — (Psalms 22:7, Psalms 22:13; Psalms 35:21; Lamentations 2:16).

_ _ children of transgression, etc. — not merely children of transgressors, and a seed of false parents, but of transgression and falsehood itself, utterly unfaithful to God.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 57:3-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 57:4

Against whom — Consider whom it is that you mock and scoff, when you deride God's prophets. A seed — A generation of liars, whose practices contradict your professions, who deal deceitfully both with God and men.
