Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 9:13-17.


Isaiah 9:17

_ _ no joy — the parallelism, “neither ... mercy,” shows that this means, He shall have no such delight in their youthful warriors, however much they be the nation’s delight and reliance, as to save them from the enemy’s sword (Isaiah 31:8; compare Jeremiah 18:21).

_ _ fatherless, etc. — not even the usual objects of His pity (Psalms 10:14, Psalms 10:18; Psalms 68:5; Jeremiah 49:11; Hosea 14:3) shall be spared.

_ _ hypocrite — rather, a libertine, polluted [Horsley].

_ _ folly — wickedness (Psalms 14:1).

_ _ still — Notwithstanding all these judgments, more remain.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 9:8-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 9:17

No joy — Shall not rejoice over them to do them good. Fatherless — Who are the special objects of his care and pity, and much less upon others. Every one — Not precisely; for there were seven thousand elect persons among them, when they seemed to Elijah to be universally corrupt, but the body of the people. Hypocrite — For though they professed to worship God, yet indeed they had forsaken him. Folly — Wickedness.
