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] |
| (Isa 65:13-14). "The whole earth" refers to Judea and the nations that submit themselves to Judea's God; when these rejoice, the foes of God and His people, represented by Edom as a nation, shall be desolate. Things shall be completely reversed; Israel, that now for a time mourns, shall then rejoice and for ever. Edom, that now rejoices over fallen Israel, shall then, when elsewhere all is joy, mourn, and for ever (Isa 65:17-19; Mat 5:4; Luk 6:25). HAVERNICK loses this striking antithesis by translating, "According to the joy of the whole land (of Edom), so I will make thee desolate"; which would make Eze 35:15 a mere repetition of this. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The whole earth - The inhabitants of all the countries round about thee. Rejoiceth - Is in peace and plenty. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| When the whole earth rejoiceth - When the whole land shall rejoice in the restoration of the Jews, I will make thee desolate. Probably this refers to the time of the Maccabees. |
15 As thou didst rejoice [08057] at the inheritance [05159] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], because it was desolate [08074], so will I do [06213] unto thee: thou shalt be desolate [08077], O mount [02022] Seir [08165], and all Idumea [0123], even all of it: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
25 Woe [3759] unto you [5213] that are full [1705] ! for [3754] ye shall hunger [3983]. Woe [3759] unto you [5213] that laugh [1070] now [3568]! for [3754] ye shall mourn [3996] and [2532] weep [2799].
4 Blessed [3107] are they that mourn [3996]: for [3754] they [846] shall be comforted [3870].
17 For, behold, I create [01254] new [02319] heavens [08064] and a new [02319] earth [0776]: and the former [07223] shall not be remembered [02142], nor come [05927] into mind [03820].
18 But be ye glad [07797] and rejoice [01523] for ever [05703] in that which I create [01254]: for, behold, I create [01254] Jerusalem [03389] a rejoicing [01525], and her people [05971] a joy [04885].
19 And I will rejoice [01523] in Jerusalem [03389], and joy [07797] in my people [05971]: and the voice [06963] of weeping [01065] shall be no more heard [08085] in her, nor the voice [06963] of crying [02201].
13 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], Behold, my servants [05650] shall eat [0398], but ye shall be hungry [07456]: behold, my servants [05650] shall drink [08354], but ye shall be thirsty [06770]: behold, my servants [05650] shall rejoice [08055], but ye shall be ashamed [0954]:
14 Behold, my servants [05650] shall sing [07442] for joy [02898] of heart [03820], but ye shall cry [06817] for sorrow [03511] of heart [03820], and shall howl [03213] for vexation [07667] of spirit [07307].
