Isa. 28:1–35:10 God’s Sovereign Word Spoken into the World: “Ah!” God controls history (chs. 28–33), moving events toward final judgment and salvation (chs. 34–35). He is the powerful ally of his people, greater than all earthly powers. “Ah!” indicates God is taking action. To trust in him is always the wisest policy.
Isa. 28:1–6 The northern city of Samaria will fall to Assyria.
Isa. 28:1 Ah. Chapters 28–33 are marked by six exclamations of action (v. 1; 29:1; 15; 30:1; 31:1; 33:1; see 5:8–30). the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim. Isaiah sees the city of Samaria, the crown of the northern kingdom, ruined by a corrupt lifestyle. the fading flower. The northern kingdom’s days are nearly over. Israel fell to Assyria in 722 b.c.
Isa. 28:2–4 one who is mighty and strong. Assyria.
Isa. 28:5–6 In that day the Lord of hosts will be a crown of glory . . . to the remnant. God preserves his true people who boast in him. For “Lord of hosts,” see note on 1 Sam. 1:3.
Isa. 28:7 These also. Judah in the south. the priest and the prophet. The leaders entrusted with God’s word.
Isa. 28:9–10 The priests and prophets dismiss Isaiah’s message as too simplistic (compare 1 Cor. 2:14).
Isa. 28:15 a covenant with death. Jerusalem’s leaders rejoiced over their alliance with Egypt, believing it protected them from Assyria (see 30:1–5; 31:1–3). Isaiah says the alliance amounts to national suicide.
Isa. 28:16 God has established another foundation for the Zion of his remnant people. That sure foundation, embodied in Jesus Christ, is the good news that God saves as no one else can (Rom. 9:33; 1 Pet. 2:4–8 combines this with Isa. 8:14).
Isa. 28:21 The Lord fought for Israel against the Philistines at Mount Perazim (2 Sam. 5:17–21) and against the Amorites in the Valley of Gibeon (Josh. 10:1–11). Now he rises to do something strange—fight against his own people (see Isa. 28:11).
Isa. 28:23–29 God’s dealings with his people, though “strange” (v. 21), are wise. He can be trusted in everything.
