Enduring Word Bible- Sing for JOY

Enduring Word Bible- #8

 Isaiah 24:14

I have a hard time reading parts of Isaiah-
actually much of Isaiah.
This Chapter brings doom and gloom
and isn't  
anything very easy to read. 
Resorting to Matthew Henry's Commentary
 for some help:
 "The promises that are mixed 
with the threatenings are intended for the support
 and comfort of the people of God
 in those very calamitous times.
 ... represent in general the calamitous state
 of mankind, and the many miseries 
which human life is liable to, 
especially those that attend the wars of the nations.
 Surely the prophets were sent, 
not only to foretel particular events,
 but to form the minds of men to virtue and piety,
 and for that end their prophecies were written 
and preserved even for our learning. 
... Now since a thorough conviction 
of the vanity of the world, 
and its insufficiency to make us happy,
 will go far towards bringing us to God, 
and drawing out our affections
 towards another world, 
the prophet here shows what vexation of spirit
 we must expect to meet with in these things, 
that we may never take up our rest in them,
 nor promise ourselves satisfaction
 any where short of the enjoyment of God.
 In this chapter we have:
 I. A threatening of desolating judgments for sin (v. 1-12),
 to which is added an assurance 
that in the midst of them good people
 should be comforted (v. 13-15). 
II. A further threatening of the like desolations (v. 16-22),
 to which is added an assurance 
that in the midst of all God should be glorified."

Can see where they ended up on verse 14 
for the margin in this section.
Hope and Joy lifted up 
to the Lord with a shout!
