In this is declared the great mercies of God toward his church: who never fails them in their greatest dangers, but when all hope of worldly help fades, he stirs up some, by whom he sends comfort and deliverance. In this also is described the ambition, pride and cruelty of the wicked when they come to honour and their sudden fall when they are at their highest and how God preserves and prefers them who are zealous of his glory and have a care and love for their brethren.

geneva@Esther:9:31 @ To confirm these days of Purim in their times [appointed], according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the (note:)That they would observe this feast with fasting and earnest prayer, which in Hebrew is signified by this word (they cry).(:note) fastings and their cry.

Thus did Job While the feast lasted. continually.

geneva@Job:18:13 @ It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the (note:)That is, some strong and violent death will consume his strength: or as the Hebrew word signifies his members or parts.(:note) firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

geneva@Psalms:76:12 @ He shall (note:)The Hebrew word signifies «to vintage or gather grapes» meaning that he will make the counsels and enterprises of the wicked tyrants foolish and vain.(:note) cut off the spirit of princes: [he is] terrible to the kings of the earth.

geneva@Psalms:111:5 @ He hath given (note:)God has given to his people all that was necessary for them and will do so even for his covenant's sake, and in this sense the Hebrew word is taken in (Pro_30:8, Pro_31:15).(:note) meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

geneva@Psalms:150:1 @ Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his (note:)That is, in the heaven.(:note) sanctuary: praise him in the For his wonderful power appears in the firmament, which in Hebrew is called a stretching out, or spreading abroad, in which the mighty work of God shines. firmament of his power.

geneva@Isaiah:1:1 @ The (note:)That is, a revelation or prophecy, which was one of the two means by which God declared himself to his servants in old times, as in (Num_12:6) and therefore the prophets were called seers, (1Sa_9:9).(:note) vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw Isaiah was chiefly sent to Judah and Jerusalem, but not only: for in this book are prophecies concerning other nations also. concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Called also Azariah, (2Ki_15:1) of these kings read (2Ki. strkjv@14:1-21:1; 2Ch. strkjv@25:1-33:1). Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The Argument - God, according to his promise in (Deu_18:15) that he would never leave his Church destitute of a prophet, has from time to time accomplished the same: whose office was not only to declare to the people the things to come, of which they had a special revelation, but also to interpret and declare the law, and to apply particularly the doctrine contained briefly in it, for the use and profit of those to whom they thought it chiefly to belong, and as the time and state of things required. Principally in the declaration of the law, they had respect to three things which were the ground of their doctrine: first, to the doctrine contained briefly in the two tables: secondly to the promises and threatenings of the law: and thirdly to the covenant of grace and reconciliation grounded on our Saviour Jesus Christ, who is the end of the law. To which they neither added nor diminished, but faithfully expounded the sense and meaning of it. As God gave them understanding of things, they applied the promises particularly for the comfort of the Church and the members of it, and also denounced the menaces against the enemies of the same: not for any care or regard to the enemies, but to assure the Church of their safeguard by the destruction of their enemies. Concerning the doctrine of reconciliation, they have more clearly entreated it than Moses, and set forth more lively Jesus Christ, in whom this covenant of reconciliation was made. In all these things Isaiah surpassed all the prophets, and was diligent to set out the same, with vehement admonitions, reprehensions, and consolations: ever applying the doctrine as he saw that the disease of the people required. He declares also many notable prophecies which he had received from God, concerning the promise of the Messiah, his office and kingdom, the favour of God toward his Church, the calling of the Gentiles and their union with the Jews. Which are principal points contained in this book, and a gathering of his sermons that he preached. Which after certain days that they had stood upon the temple door (for the manner of the prophets was to post the sum of their doctrine for certain days, that the people might the better mark it as in (Isa_8:1; Hab_2:2)) the priests took it down and reserved it among their registers. By God's providence these books were preserved as a monument to the Church forever. Concerning his person and time he was of the king's stock (for Amos his father was brother to Azariah king of Judah, as the best writers agree) and prophesied more than 64 years, from the time of Uzziah to the reign of Manasseh who was his son-in-law (as the Hebrews write) and by whom he was put to death. In reading of the prophets, this one thing among others is to be observed, that they speak of things to come as though they were now past because of the certainty of it, and that they could not but come to pass, because God had ordained them in his secret counsel and so revealed them to his prophets.

geneva@Isaiah:19:7 @ The paper reeds by the brooks, by the (note:)The Hebrew word is mouth, by which they mean the spring out of which the water gushes as out of a mouth.(:note) mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no [more].

geneva@Isaiah:20:1 @ In the year that (note:)Who was captain of Sennacherib, (2Ki_18:17).(:note) Tartan came to A city of the Philistines. Ashdod, (when The Hebrews write that Sennacherib was so called. Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;

geneva@Isaiah:22:15 @ Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, repair to this (note:)Because the Hebrew word also signifies one who nourishes and cherishes, there are those of the scholars who think that this wicked man nourished a secret friendship with the Assyrians and Egyptians to betray the Church and to provide for himself against all dangers: in the mean season he packed craftily, and got of the best offices into his hand under Hezekiah, ever aspiring to the highest.(:note) treasurer, [even] to Shebna, who [is] over the house, [and say],

geneva@Isaiah:29:1 @ Woe to (note:)Or Ariel: the Hebrew word Ariel signifies the Lion of God, and signifies the Altar, because the altar seemed to devour the sacrifice that was offered to God, as in (Eze_43:16).(:note) Ariel, to Ariel, the city [where] David dwelt! add ye year to year; Your vain confidence in your sacrifices will not last long. let them kill sacrifices.
