Clarke's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 33:24

Verse 24. And 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 diseased shall throw aside their infirmities, and recover strength enough to hasten to the general plunder. See above.

The last line of the verse is parallel to the first, and expresses the same sense in other words. Sickness being considered as a visitation from God. a punishment of sin; the forgiveness of sin is equivalent to the removal of a disease. Thus the psalmist:- "Who forgiveth all thy sin; And healeth all thine infirmities." Psalm ciii. 3.

Where the latter line only varies the expression of the former. And our blessed saviour reasons with the Jews on the same principle: "Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?" Mark ii. 9. See also Matt. viii. 17; chap. liii. 4. Qui locus Isaiae, 1 Pet. ii. 24, refertur ad remissionem peccatorum: hic vero ad sanationem morborum, quia ejusdem potentiae et bonitatis est utrumque praestare; et, quia peccatis remissis, et morbi, qui fructus sunt peccatorum, pelluntur. "Which passage of Isaiah has reference, in 1 Pet. ii. 24, to the remission of sins, and here to the healing of diseases, because both are effects of the same power and goodness; and because with the remission of sins was associated the removal of disorders, the fruits of sin." -Wetstein on Matt. viii. 17.

That this prophecy was exactly fulfilled, I think we may gather from the history of this great event given by the prophet himself. It is plain that Hezekiah, by his treaty with Sennacherib, by which he agreed to pay him three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold, had stripped himself of his whole treasure. He not only gave him all the silver and gold that was in his own treasury and in that of the temple, but was even forced to cut off the gold from the doors of the temple and from the pillars, with which he had himself overlaid them, to satisfy the demands of the king of Assyria: but after the destruction of the Assyrian army, we find that he "had exceeding much riches, and that he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, "&c.2 Chron. xxxii. 27. He was so rich, that out of pride and vanity he displayed his wealth to the ambassadors from Babylon. This cannot be otherwise accounted for, than by the prodigious spoil that was taken on the destruction of the Assyrian army. - L. And thus, in the providence of God, he had the wealth which was exacted from him restored.

Is. 33:1-14 Here we have the proud and false destroyer justly reckone with for all his fraud and violence. The righteous God often pay sinners in their own coin. Those who by faith humbly wait for God shall find him gracious to them; as the day, so let the strength be. I God leaves us to ourselves any morning, we are undone; we must ever morning commit ourselves to him, and go forth in his strength to do the work of the day. When God arises, his enemies are scattered. Tru wisdom and knowledge lead to strength of salvation, which renders u stedfast in the ways of God; and true piety is the only treasure whic can never be plundered or spent. The distress Jerusalem was brough into, is described. God's time to appear for his people, is, when all other helpers fail. Let all who hear what God has done, acknowledg that he can do every thing. Sinners in Zion will have much to answe for, above other sinners. And those that rebel against the commands of the word, cannot take its comforts in time of need. His wrath will bur those everlastingly who make themselves fuel for it. It is a fire tha shall never be quenched, nor ever go out of itself; it is the wrath of an ever-living God preying on the conscience of a never-dying soul.

Is. 33:15-24 The true believer watches against all occasions of sin The Divine power will keep him safe, and his faith in that power wil keep him easy. He shall want nothing needful for him. Every blessing of salvation is freely bestowed on all that ask with humble, believin prayer; and the believer is safe in time and for ever. Those that wal uprightly shall not only have bread given, and their water sure, but they shall, by faith, see the King of kings in his beauty, the beaut of holiness. The remembrance of the terror they were in, shall add to the pleasure of their deliverance. It is desirable to be quiet in ou own houses, but much more so to be quiet in God's house; and in ever age Christ will have a seed to serve him. Jerusalem had no large rive running by it, but the presence and power of God make up all wants. We have all in God, all we need, or can desire. By faith we take Chris for our Prince and Saviour; he reigns over his redeemed people. All that refuse to have Him to reign over them, make shipwreck of their souls. Sickness is taken away in mercy, when the fruit of it is the taking away of sin. If iniquity be taken away, we have little reason to complain of outward affliction. This last verse leads our thoughts, no only to the most glorious state of the gospel church on earth, but to heaven, where no sickness or trouble can enter. He that blotteth ou our transgressions, will heal our souls __________________________________________________________________
