Isaiah 37:23
Read Isaiah 37:23 Using Other Translations
What does Isaiah 37:23 mean?
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed?
&c.] A creature like thyself? no, but a God, and not one like
the gods of the nations, the idols of wood and stone, but the
living God: and against whom hast thou exalted thy
voice?
alluding to Rabshakeh's crying with a loud voice, ( Isaiah 36:13
) : and lifted up thine eyes on high?
as proud and haughty persons do, disdaining to look upon those
they treat with contempt: even against the Holy One of
Israel;
that is, Israel's God, and will protect him; "a Holy One", and of
purer eyes than to behold with pleasure such a proud blaspheming
creature, and cannot look upon him but with indignation; for
against such he sets himself; these he resists, pulls down, and
destroys.
