Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 58:7

_ _ deal — distribute (Job 31:16-21).

_ _ cast out — rather, reduced [Horsley].

_ _ naked ... cover him — (Matthew 25:36).

_ _ hide ... thyself — means to be strange towards them, and not to relieve them in their poverty (Matthew 15:5).

_ _ flesh — kindred (Genesis 29:14). Also brethren in common descent from Adam, and brethren in Christ (James 2:15).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 58:3-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 58:7

Cast out — And thereby become wanderers, having no abiding place. To thy house — That thou be hospitable, and make thy house a shelter to them that have none of their own left. Hide not — That seek no occasion to excuse thyself. Thy own flesh — Some confine this to our own kindred; but we can look on no man, but there we contemplate our own flesh, and therefore it is barbarous, not only to tear, but not to love and succour him. Therefore feed him as thou wouldest feed thyself, or be fed; shelter him as thou wouldest shelter thyself, or be sheltered; clothe him as thou wouldest clothe thyself, or be clothed; if in any of these respects thou wert in his circumstances.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

[Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou shouldest bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou shouldest cover him; and that thou shouldest not hide thyself from (g) thy own flesh?

(g) For in him you see yourself as in a mirror.
