Context of Isaiah 5:25

23If people like that receive a bribe, they will not say that wicked people are guilty. They also refuse to say that righteous people are not guilty. 24Because of that, they will come to a bad end. It will be for them like a hot fire that destroys dry grass. Their roots will die and their flowers will blow away like dust. They have refused to obey the laws of the Lord Almighty. They have not listened to the message that the holy God of Israel has taught them. So the Lord has become angry with his people. He is ready to punish them. He has lifted up his hand, so that the mountains shake. Dead bodies of people are lying all over the streets. But that is not enough! The Lord is still angry with them. His hand is ready to punish them even more. 26The Lord will send a message to foreign nations to come and attack. He calls to nations that are far away, and now they are already coming! Their armies march quickly to Jerusalem. 27None of their soldiers are tired. They do not fall down. Nobody rests. Nobody sleeps. They have tied their belts strongly. Their shoes do not break in pieces.

Commentaries on Isaiah 5:25

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25The hills did tremble "And the mountains trembled" - Probably referring to the great earthquakes in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, in or not long before the time of the prophet himself, recorded as a remarkable era in the title of the prophecies of Amos., Amos 1:1, and by Zechariah, Zechariah 14:5.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 25Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled - The Lord is “enraged,” or is angry. Similar expressions often occur; Numbers 11:33; 2 Kings 23:26; Deuteronomy 11:17; Psalm 56:1-13:40; Job 19:11; Psalm 2:12. The “cause” of his anger was the crimes which are specified in this chapter. And he hath stretched forth his hand - To stretch forth the hand may be an action expressive of protection, invitation, or punishment. Here it is the latter; compare Isaiah…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 24-30Verses 24-30 Let not any expect to live easily who live wickedly. Sin weakens the strength, the root of a people; it defaces the beauty, the blossoms of a people. When God's word is despised, and his law cast away, what can men expect but that God should utterly abandon them? When God comes forth in wrath, the hills tremble, fear seizes even great men. When God designs the ruin of a provoking people, he can find instruments to be employed in it, as he…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 25mountains quake: This describes God’s wrath against sinners. The prophets often express God’s anger as the shaking of the earth’s foundations (Isaiah 13:13; 23:11; 24:18–19; 29:6; 54:10). God’s appearance in judgment or salvation through natural events is called a theophany (a visible display of God's presence). In these moments, God reveals himself through smoke, darkness, lightning, or earthquake (see Isaiah 6:1–4, 6; 13:13; Exodus 19:18–19; Psalm…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2525. anger ... kindled--(2Ki 22:13, 17). hills ... tremble--This probably fixes the date of this chapter, as it refers to the earthquake in the days of Uzziah (Am 1:1; Zec 14:5). The earth trembled as if conscious of the presence of God (Jr 4:24; Ha 3:6). torn--rather, were as dung (Psa 83:10). For all this, &c.--This burden of the prophet's strains, with dirge-like monotony, is repeated at Is 9:12, 17, 21; 10:4. With all the past calamities, still heavier…Read the comment
