Isaiah 27:7-11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

THE COMING JUDGMENT UPON JUDAH A CHASTISEMENT IN WHICH MERCY IS BLENDED WITH JUSTICE. A coming judgment upon Judah has been one of the main subjects of Isaiah's prophecy from the beginning. It has been included in the catalogue of "burdens" (see Isaiah 22:1-25.). It will have to be one of the prophet's main subjects to the end of his "book." Hence he may at any time recur to it, as he does now, without special reason or excuse. In this place the special aspect under which the judgment presents itself to him is that of its merciful character,

While noting this, he feels, however, bound to note also, that the judgment is, while it lasts, severe (verses 10, 11).
