Isaiah 28:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

To whom he said, to which people the Lord, by his minister, said, This, this doctrine or precept, as it is expressed, Isaiah 28:9,10, or the word of the Lord, as it follows, Isaiah 28:13, is the rest; the only way, in the observation of which you will find rest and satisfaction. Cause the weary to rest, Heb. cause the weary (understand either soul or country) rest. As rest is offered to you by the prophets in God's name, do you embrace it; which is to be done by hearkening to God's word, as appears by the following clauses. So shall this people, which hath been so oft and so long wearied and harassed by great and manifold calamities, find rest and peace. Yet they would not hear; they are wilfully ignorant, and obstinately refused the very means of instruction.

Isaiah 28:12

12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
