Isaiah 25:3,4 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Therefore shall the strong people fear thee Thy stoutest enemies, observing thy wonderful works, shall be converted, or at least, convinced, and forced to tremble before thee. For thou hast been a strength to the poor Hast defended thy poor and helpless people against the fiercest assaults of their enemies. When Or rather, for, or therefore, as the particle כי, generally signifies; the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm Of hail, rain, or wind, which makes a great noise, but without any effect; against the wall Which stands firm in spite of it. It is probable the prophet, in these words, had a special respect to the miraculous deliverance of Jerusalem from the rage and attempt of Sennacherib; although the words be general, and include other deliverances of a like nature.

Isaiah 25:3-4

3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.

4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
