Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 28:9

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

9, 10. Here the drunkards are introduced as scoffingly commenting on Isaiah's warnings: "Whom will he (does Isaiah presume to) teach knowledge? And whom will He make to understand instruction? Is it those (that is, does he take us to be) just weaned, c.? For (he is constantly repeating, as if to little children) precept upon precept," &c. line —a rule or law. [MAURER]. The repetition of sounds in Hebrew tzav latzav, tzav latzav, qav laqav, qav laquav, expresses the scorn of the imitators of Isaiah's speaking he spoke stammering ( :- ). God's mode of teaching offends by its simplicity the pride of sinners ( 2 Kings 5:11 ; 2 Kings 5:12 ; 1 Corinthians 1:23 ). Stammerers as they were by drunkenness, and children in knowledge of God, they needed to be spoken to in the language of children, and "with stammering lips" (compare 1 Corinthians 1:23- : ). A just and merciful retribution. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
