Isaiah 35:2 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

The glory of Lebanon - its ornament, namely, its cedars (Isaiah 10:34).

The excellency of Carmel - namely, its beauty.

Sharon - famed for its fertility.

They shall see the glory of the Lord ... excellency - (Isaiah 40:5; Isaiah 40:9.) While the wilderness which had neither "glory" nor "excellency" shall have both "given to it," the Lord shall have all the "glory" and "excellency" ascribed to Him, not to the transformed wilderness (Matthew 5:16).

Isaiah 35:2

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
