Context of Isaiah 33:24

22For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us. 23Your ropes are slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder. And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be forgiven of iniquity.

Commentaries on Isaiah 33:24

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24And the inhabitant shall not say - This verse is somewhat obscure. The meaning of it seems to be, that the army of Sennacherib shall by the stroke of God be reduced to so shattered and so weak a condition, that the Jews shall fall upon the remains of them, and plunder them without resistance; that the most infirm and disabled of the people of Jerusalem shall come in for their share of the spoil; the lame shall seize the prey; even the sick and the…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24And the inhabitant - The inhabitant of Jerusalem. Shall not say, I am sick - That is, probably, the spoil shall be so abundant, and the facility for taking it so great, that even the sick, the aged, and the infirm shall go forth nerved with new vigor to gather the spoil. The people that dwell therein - In Jerusalem. Shall be forgiven their iniquity - This is equivalent to saying that the calamities of the invasion would be entirely removed.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2424. sick--Smith thinks the allusion is to the beginning of the pestilence by which the Assyrians were destroyed, and which, while sparing the righteous, affected some within the city ("sinners in Zion"); it may have been the sickness that visited Hezekiah (Is 38:1-22). In the Jerusalem to come there shall be no "sickness," because there will be no "iniquity," it being forgiven (Psa 103:3). The latter clause of the verse contains the cause of the former…Read the comment
