Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Those who turn aside (under temptation) permanently show that they are hypocrites, and their lot or portion shall be with the wicked (Psa 28:3).
crooked ways--(Compare Deu 9:16; Mal 2:8-9).
their--is emphatic; the "crooked ways" proceed from their own hearts. The true Israel is here distinguished from the false. Scripture everywhere opposes the Jewish delusion that mere outward descent would save (Rom 2:28-29; Rom 9:6-7; Gal 6:16). The byways of sin from the way of life. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways - The wicked. Those who leave the right or straight path, and wander in forbidden ways. The word here rendered "crooked ways" occurs nowhere else except in Jdg 5:6, where it is rendered "by-ways," meaning unfrequented paths or roads; narrow and crooked paths, remote from the highways, or the ways commonly traversed. Hence, the word means also paths of sin - as deviations from the straight road which man should travel.
The Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity - They shall be dealt with as sinners. They shall be punished. The allusion is to backsliders; to those who forsake the worship of God; who cease to do "good;" who, though among the professed people of God, wander from him in by-paths and forbidden ways. The idea is, that their profession of religion will not save them; that they will not obtain the divine blessing merely because they are avowedly the people of God, or are numbered among them, but that they will be treated as all other sinners are: they will be led forth with all the wicked, and will be treated like them. Compare Eze 33:12-13; Mat 7:22-23; Mat 25:11-12.
But peace shall be upon Israel - Upon the real Israel; upon the true people of God. Gal 6:16; Isa 54:13; Isa 55:12; Isa 57:2; Isa 66:12; Joh 14:27; Joh 16:33; Eph 2:17; Phi 4:7. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Lead them - Unto sinful courses. Israel - Upon the true Israel of God. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| As for such as turn aside - Who are not faithful; who give way to sin; who backslide, and walk in a crooked way, widely different from the straight way of the upright, ישרים yesharim, the straight in heart; they shall be led forth to punishment with the common workers of iniquity. Thus thy Church will be purified, and thy peace rest upon thy true Israel. Let him that readeth understand. |
16 And [2532] as many as [3745] walk [4748] according to [2583] this [5129] rule [2583], peace [1515] be on [1909] them [846], and [2532] mercy [1656], and [2532] upon [1909] the Israel [2474] of God [2316].
6 Not [3756] as [3634] though [1161] [3754] the word [3056] of God [2316] hath taken none effect [1601]. For [1063] they are not [3756] all [3956] [1537] Israel [2474], which [3588] [3778] are of Israel [2474]:
7 Neither [3761], because [3754] they are [1526] the seed [4690] of Abraham [11], are they all [3956] children [5043]: but [235], In [1722] Isaac [2464] shall [2564] thy [4671] seed [4690] be called [2564].
28 For [1063] he is [2076] not [3756] a Jew [2453], which is one outwardly [1722] [5318]; neither [3761] is that circumcision [4061], which is outward [1722] [5318] in [1722] the flesh [4561]:
29 But [235] he is a Jew [2453], which is one inwardly [1722] [2927]; and [2532] circumcision [4061] is that of the heart [2588], in [1722] the spirit [4151], and not [3756] in the letter [1121]; whose [3739] praise [1868] is not [3756] of [1537] men [444], but [235] of [1537] God [2316].
8 But ye are departed [05493] out of the way [01870]; ye have caused many [07227] to stumble [03782] at the law [08451]; ye have corrupted [07843] the covenant [01285] of Levi [03878], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
9 Therefore have I also made [05414] you contemptible [0959] and base [08217] before all the people [05971], according [06310] as ye have not kept [08104] my ways [01870], but have been partial [05375] [06440] in the law [08451].
16 And I looked [07200], and, behold, ye had sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and had made [06213] you a molten [04541] calf [05695]: ye had turned aside [05493] quickly [04118] out of the way [01870] which the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] you.
3 Draw me not away [04900] with the wicked [07563], and with the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205], which speak [01696] peace [07965] to their neighbours [07453], but mischief [07451] is in their hearts [03824].
7 And [2532] the peace [1515] of God [2316], which [3588] passeth [5242] all [3956] understanding [3563], shall keep [5432] your [5216] hearts [2588] and [2532] minds [5216] [3540] through [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424].
17 And [2532] came [2064] and preached [2097] peace [1515] to you [5213] which [3588] were afar off [3112], and [2532] to them that were nigh [1451].
33 These things [5023] I have spoken [2980] unto you [5213], that [2443] in [1722] me [1698] ye might have [2192] peace [1515]. In [1722] the world [2889] ye shall have [2192] [2192] tribulation [2347]: but [235] be of good cheer [2293]; I [1473] have overcome [3528] the world [2889].
27 Peace [1515] I leave [863] with you [5213], my [1699] peace [1515] I give [1325] unto you [5213]: not [3756] as [2531] the world [2889] giveth [1325], give [1325] I [1473] unto you [5213]. Let [5015] not [3361] your [5216] heart [2588] be troubled [5015], neither [3366] let it be afraid [1168].
12 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will extend [05186] peace [07965] to her like a river [05104], and the glory [03519] of the Gentiles [01471] like a flowing [07857] stream [05158]: then shall ye suck [03243], ye shall be borne [05375] upon her sides [06654], and be dandled [08173] upon her knees [01290].
2 He shall enter [0935] into peace [07965]: they shall rest [05117] in their beds [04904], each one walking [01980] in his uprightness [05228].
12 For ye shall go out [03318] with joy [08057], and be led forth [02986] with peace [07965]: the mountains [02022] and the hills [01389] shall break forth [06476] before [06440] you into singing [07440], and all the trees [06086] of the field [07704] shall clap [04222] their hands [03709].
13 And all thy children [01121] shall be taught [03928] of the LORD [03068]; and great [07227] shall be the peace [07965] of thy children [01121].
16 And [2532] as many as [3745] walk [4748] according to [2583] this [5129] rule [2583], peace [1515] be on [1909] them [846], and [2532] mercy [1656], and [2532] upon [1909] the Israel [2474] of God [2316].
11 Afterward [1161] [5305] came [2064] also [2532] the other [3062] virgins [3933], saying [3004], Lord [2962], Lord [2962], open [455] to us [2254].
12 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], I know [1492] you [5209] not [3756].
22 Many [4183] will say [2046] to me [3427] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250], Lord [2962], Lord [2962], have we [4395] not [3756] prophesied [4395] in thy [4674] name [3686]? and [2532] in thy [4674] name [3686] have cast out [1544] devils [1140]? and [2532] in thy [4674] name [3686] done [4160] many [4183] wonderful works [1411]?
23 And [2532] then [5119] will I profess [3670] unto them [846], [3754] I never [3763] knew [1097] you [5209]: depart [672] from [575] me [1700], ye that work [2038] iniquity [458].
12 Therefore, thou son [01121] of man [0120], say [0559] unto the children [01121] of thy people [05971], The righteousness [06666] of the righteous [06662] shall not deliver [05337] him in the day [03117] of his transgression [06588]: as for the wickedness [07564] of the wicked [07563], he shall not fall [03782] thereby in the day [03117] that he turneth [07725] from his wickedness [07562]; neither shall the righteous [06662] be able [03201] to live [02421] for his righteousness in the day [03117] that he sinneth [02398].
13 When I shall say [0559] to the righteous [06662], that he shall surely [02421] live [02421]; if he trust [0982] to his own righteousness [06666], and commit [06213] iniquity [05766], all his righteousnesses [06666] shall not be remembered [02142]; but for his iniquity [05766] that he hath committed [06213], he shall die [04191] for it.
6 In the days [03117] of Shamgar [08044] the son [01121] of Anath [06067], in the days [03117] of Jael [03278], the highways [0734] were unoccupied [02308], and the travellers [01980] walked [03212] through byways [06128] [05410].
