The general desolation the mighty man and the warrior This phrase refers to individuals of strength and valor, often seen as protectors and leaders in society. In ancient Israel, mighty men and warriors were crucial for the defense and expansion of the nation. Their absence or downfall, as prophesied in Isaiah, signifies a loss of security and stability. This can be connected to the broader biblical theme of God being the ultimate source of strength and protection, as seen in Psalms 18:2. The removal of such figures indicates divine judgment and the vulnerability of a nation without God's favor. the judge and the prophet the soothsayer and the elder Persons / Places / Events 1.

We should pray for and support leaders who seek to follow God's will. The Dangers of Ungodly Practices Engaging in practices like soothsaying can lead us away from God. We must be discerning and avoid influences that contradict biblical teachings. The Role of Wisdom and Experience Elders and those with experience have valuable insights to offer. We should seek their counsel and learn from their wisdom in our personal and communal lives. Dependence on God for Guidance While leaders and prophets play crucial roles, our ultimate dependence should be on God for guidance and direction in our lives.(2) The mighty man, and the man of war.--The first word points to the aristocracy of landed proprietors, the latter to those who, whether of that class or not, had been prominent as leaders in the king's armies. The judge, and the prophet.--Each is named as the representative of a class. The latter was that to which Isaiah himself belonged, but in which he found, as Jeremiah did afterwards, his chief opponents. The prudent, and the ancient.--The former word has the more definite meaning of "diviners," those who had a real gift of wisdom, but who by their abuse of that gift had become as degenerate prophets. In the "ancient" we have the "elders" who were prominent in the municipal politics of the East, and formed at least the nucleus of the king's council (Ruth 4:4; 2Samuel 19:11; 1Kings 20:7; 1Kings 21:8; and elsewhere). Verse 2. - The mighty man, and the man of war; or, hero and warrior. The first rank is given to those distinguished in war, as being held in the highest esteem, and perhaps as actually, under the coming circumstances, the men of most importance to the country. It is thus implied, as later (vers. 25, 26) it is expressly taught, that the impending visitation will be a terrible invasion. The judge, and the prophet; literally, judge and prophet. The judge holds his place as one of the highest officers of the state (see Isaiah 1:26); the prophet holds a lower position than might have been expected, on account of the writer's humility. The prudent; rather, the diviner, as the word is translated in Deuteronomy 18:14; 1 Samuel 6:2; Isaiah 44:25; Jeremiah 27:9; Jeremiah 29:8; Ezekiel 13:9; Micah 3:7; Zechariah 10:2; or soothsayer, as in Joshua 13:22. Isaiah arranges the classes, not so much according to the order in which he values them, as to that in which they were valued by the people. The ancient; i.e. "the elder," as the word is translated commonly. The "elders" had an ascertained position in the state under the monarchy (2 Samuel 5:3; 2 Samuel 19:11; 1 Kings 8:1; 1 Kings 20:7; 2 Kings 6:32, etc.).Parallel Commentaries ...
