لأَنَّكُمْ قُلْتُمْ: «قَدْ عَقَدْنَا عَهْدًا مَعَ الْمَوْتِ، وَصَنَعْنَا مِيثَاقًا مَعَ الْهَاوِيَةِ. السَّوْطُ الْجَارِفُ إِذَا عَبَرَ لاَ يَأْتِينَا، لأَنَّنَا جَعَلْنَا الْكَذِبَ مَلْجَأَنَا، وَبِالْغِشِّ اسْتَتَرْنَا».

In this chapter, I. The Ephraimites are reproved and threatened for their pride and drunkenness, their security and sensuality (Isa 28:1-8). But, in the midst of this, here is a gracious promise of God's favour to the remnant of his people (Isa 28:5, Isa 28:6). II. They are likewise reproved and threatened for their dulness and stupidity, and unaptness to profit by the instructions which the prophets gave them in God's name (Isa 28:9-13). III. The rulers of Jerusalem are reproved and threatened for their insolent contempt of God's judgments, and setting them at defiance; and, after a gracious promise of Christ and his grace, they are made to know that the vain hopes of escaping the judgments of God with which they flattered themselves would certainly deceive them (Isa 28:14-22). IV. All this is confirmed by a comparison borrowed from the method which the husbandman takes with his ground and grain, according to which they must expect God would proceed with his people, whom he had lately called his threshing and the corn of his floor (Isa 21:10) (Isa 28:23-29). This is written for our admonition, and is profitable for reproof and warning to us.

(2) The prophet was being sarcastic; the people thought their various political and economic moves guaranteed their personal security, but they had actually destroyed themselves. • lies and deception: The leaders did not think of themselves as deceptive, but they were.

لأَنَّكُنَّ أَحْزَنْتُنَّ قَلْبَ الصِّدِّيقِ كَذِبًا وَأَنَا لَمْ أُحْزِنْهُ، وَشَدَّدْتُنَّ أَيْدِي الشِّرِّيرِ حَتَّى لاَ يَرْجعَ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الرَّدِيئَةِ فَيَحْيَا،
وَأَذْرُعُ الْجَارِفِ تُجْرَفُ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِ وَتَنْكَسِرُ، وَكَذلِكَ رَئِيسُ الْعَهْدِ.
لَيْسَ لإِنْسَانٍ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى الرُّوحِ لِيُمْسِكَ الرُّوحَ، وَلاَ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى يَوْمِ الْمَوْتِ، وَلاَ تَخْلِيَةٌ فِي الْحَرْبِ، وَلاَ يُنَجِّي الشَّرُّ أَصْحَابَهُ.
اَلأَنْبِيَاءُ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِالْكَذِبِ، وَالْكَهَنَةُ تَحْكُمُ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَشَعْبِي هكَذَا أَحَبَّ. وَمَاذَا تَعْمَلُونَ فِي آخِرَتِهَا؟
هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ يَهُوذَا الثَّلاَثَةِ وَالأَرْبَعَةِ لاَ أَرْجعُ عَنْهُ، لأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا نَامُوسَ اللهِ وَلَمْ يَحْفَظُوا فَرَائِضَهُ، وَأَضَلَّتْهُمْ أَكَاذِيبُهُمُ الَّتِي سَارَ آبَاؤُهُمْ وَرَاءَهَا.
وَأَقْطَعُ لَهُمْ عَهْدًا فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مَعَ حَيَوَانِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ وَدَبَّابَاتِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَكْسِرُ الْقَوْسَ وَالسَّيْفَ وَالْحَرْبَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ يَضْطَجِعُونَ آمِنِينَ.
وَيُمْحَى عَهْدُكُمْ مَعَ الْمَوْتِ، وَلاَ يَثْبُتُ مِيثَاقُكُمْ مَعَ الْهَاوِيَةِ. السَّوْطُ الْجَارِفُ إِذَا عَبَرَ تَكُونُونَ لَهُ لِلدَّوْسِ.
اَلشَّيْخُ وَالْمُعْتَبَرُ هُوَ الرَّأْسُ، وَالنَّبِيُّ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ بِالْكَذِبِ هُوَ الذَّنَبُ.
بَلْ سَنَعْمَلُ كُلَّ أَمْرٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ فَمِنَا، فَنُبَخِّرُ لِمَلِكَةِ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَنَسْكُبُ لَهَا سَكَائِبَ. كَمَا فَعَلْنَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا وَمُلُوكُنَا وَرُؤَسَاؤُنَا فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَشَبِعْنَا خُبْزًا وَكُنَّا بِخَيْرٍ وَلَمْ نَرَ شَرًّا.
يَا رَبُّ، عِزِّي وَحِصْنِي وَمَلْجَإِي فِي يَوْمِ الضِّيِق، إِلَيْكَ تَأْتِي الأُمَمُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ الأَرْضِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّمَا وَرِثَ آبَاؤُنَا كَذِبًا وَأَبَاطِيلَ وَمَا لاَ مَنْفَعَةَ فِيهِ.
