Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, — Where art thou? Hast thou come in here to seek the consolation thou canst not find anywhere else? Then see how God lays himself out to comfort thee; he has put into human language the true sympathy for thee that he feels in his heart; and again he says to thee, “O thou afflicted, tossed...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. They must be rare sights if the windows are so rare. If the windows be of agate, what are the sights that are seen through them? And if the very gates and doors are carbuncles what must there be in the house of love within? If the very...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. See what riches belong to the Church of the living God; and, as I have already reminded you, everything that belongs to the Church belongs to every member of it. So we expect to see our Lord’s face through a window of agate, and to go...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; It must be a greater privilege, than windows of agates and gates of carbuncle, to see our children — to see all the children of God — taught by his own Spirit. Isa_54:13. And great shall be the peace of thy children. That is the most precious pearl of all, with its soft radiance, precious to the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; Our children are often our greatest care. We ask, “How shall they be educated? Where shall we place our boys and our girls?” Put them under the care of God; for, as Elihu said to Job, “Who teacheth like him?”

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Whosoever, shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, For he cannot blow any more than God lets him. He is God’s creature. The maker of the weapons of war is still in the hands of God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Behold, they shall surely gather together, You will have enemies, even if you lead the most blameless life that can be lived; for the absolutely blameless One had many cruel enemies who hounded him to death.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And that bringeth forth an instrument for his work: and I have created the waster to destroy. When he does his worst, he is only doing what I meant he should do. The divine decree of God still, with its mighty circle, doth encompass the worst deed of man, and overrules it all for the good of his Church.

Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; — “No weapon” of any kind — however cunningly made, or however deftly handled, — “no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;” — Isa_54:17. And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. The tongue — that worst of weapons, whose wicked words are sharper...

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. See the freeness of divine love!

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,- To the waters which flowed from that smitten Rock of which we have been reading.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Ho, every one that thirsteth, God would have the attention of sinners; he calls for it. Are not sinners eager for God? Oh, no!

Ho!” Be you rich or poor, learned or illiterate, if you are in...
