Isaiah
Isaiah 8:15KJV·traditional attribution

And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

John Calvin Reformed

Those who refuse to trust in God will stumble, fall, and be broken, either crushed outright or snared so they cannot free themselves. The godly must learn from this and not waver or drift into fellowship with the ungodly, for God exceeds all in strength and wisdom, and His judgment is certain.

AI summary

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

The enemies of Judah gird themselves with policy and resolution, take counsel in war, and speak their determinations with confidence. Yet all their efforts are futile; you shall be broken in pieces, and your projects baffled, no matter how carefully you prepare or how often you resolve.

Commenting on Isaiah 8:9-15

John Gill Reformed Baptist

Many, though not all, stumble at Christ the stumbling stone, fall into unbelief and further sin, and are broken in pieces by Him. They are snared like birds trapped and held fast, and in their snares they die in their sins and perish eternally.
