Isaiah 6:11,12 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Here the prophet, as if struck with what he had seen and heard, puts in a question, and a solemn one it is: "How long shall it be that the enemy of souls shall triumph, and fallen man remain under the ruins of his apostacy?" Hear what Jesus himself saith as mediator on this subject, Isaiah 49:4. And how have his servants in all ages complained, Jeremiah 20:9. John heard also the anxious question of the martyrs, much to the same amount, Revelation 6:9-10.

Isaiah 6:11-12

11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterlye desolate,

12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
