Isaiah 22:24 And they shall hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity… i.e., believers of a higher stature. 1. Be not proud of grace received, but walk humbly with your God. "What hast thou that thou hast not received?" 2. Instead of despising others that are not come your length, study to be helpful and serviceable unto them. The vessels of cups are ordinarily filled out of the flagons; so study to impart and communicate of your grace, of your faith, love, hope, knowledge, and other graces, unto those that are weak ingrate. The strong children in a family are helpful to the young and weak. 3. Whatever grace you have received, be not confident therein, like Peter; but be strong in the that is in Christ Jesus, sad let the life you live be by faith in the Son of God. (E. Erskine.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. |
