Isaiah 1
1. Isaiah complains of Judah for her rebellion
5. He laments her judgments
10. He upbraids their whole service
16. He exhorts to repentance, with promises and threats
21. Bewailing their wickedness, he denounces God's judgments
25. He promises grace
28. And threatens destruction to the wicked














But rebels and sinners
The Hebrew word for "rebels" is "פֹּשְׁעִים" (posh'im), which conveys a sense of deliberate rebellion or transgression against authority. In the context of Isaiah, this refers to those who consciously choose to defy God's commandments and live in opposition to His will. "Sinners," from the Hebrew "חַטָּאִים" (chatta'im), refers to those who miss the mark of God's standards, whether through ignorance or willful disobedience. Together, these terms encompass all who live outside the covenant relationship with God, highlighting the gravity of their actions and the inevitable consequences of living in rebellion against divine authority.

will together be shattered
The phrase "will together be shattered" uses the Hebrew verb "שָׁבַר" (shabar), meaning to break or destroy. This conveys a powerful image of complete and utter destruction. The use of "together" emphasizes the collective judgment that will befall both rebels and sinners, indicating that no one who stands against God will escape His righteous judgment. This serves as a sobering reminder of the seriousness of sin and the certainty of divine justice.

and those who forsake the LORD
"Forsake" comes from the Hebrew "עָזַב" (azav), meaning to leave, abandon, or desert. This term is used to describe those who have turned away from their covenant relationship with God, choosing instead to pursue their own paths. In the historical context of Isaiah, this often referred to the Israelites who abandoned the worship of Yahweh for idolatry and other sinful practices. The phrase underscores the personal responsibility of each individual to remain faithful to God and the dire consequences of turning away from Him.

will perish
The Hebrew word "יֹאבֵדוּ" (yo'vedu) is used here, meaning to be lost, destroyed, or to perish. This term conveys the finality and severity of the judgment awaiting those who forsake the Lord. It serves as a stark warning of the eternal consequences of rejecting God's grace and mercy. From a conservative Christian perspective, this highlights the importance of repentance and the need for a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, who offers salvation and redemption to all who believe. The verse as a whole serves as both a warning and a call to return to the Lord, emphasizing His desire for His people to live in obedience and faithfulness.

(28) Of the transgressors and of the sinners.--The first of the two words presents evil in its aspect of apostasy, the second in that of the open sin which may accompany the apostasy or exist without it.

Verse 28. - Transgressors... sinners... they that forsake the Lord (comp. vers. 2 and 4). These are scarcely distinct classes - rather different names for the ungodly. All of them, by whatever name they were called, would perish "together."
