Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 8:11

_ _ with a strong hand — or else, “when He grasped me with His hand” [Horsley]. Maurer, as English Version, “with the impetus of His hand,” that is, the felt impulse of His inspiration in my mind (Jeremiah 15:17; Ezekiel 1:3; Ezekiel 3:14, Ezekiel 3:22; Ezekiel 37:1).

_ _ way of ... people — their distrust of Jehovah, and the panic which led them and Ahab to seek Assyrian aid.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 8:9-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 8:11

Spake — With a vehement and more than ordinary inspiration. In the way — Of the generality of the people of Judah; whose eminent danger and calamity he foretells.
