This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_28:21 For the LORD shall rise up as [in] mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as [in] the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
Ver. 21. As in Mount Perazim.] See 2Sa_5:20. God usually sitteth amidst his people in his mercy seat, or throne of grace; neither ariseth he to punish them till much provoked, and then he may possibly deal as severely with them as he did with the Philistines at Mount Perazim, or with the Amorites in the valley of Gibeon. {Jos_10:10} But then he doth "his work, his strange work, and brings to pass his act, his strange act" - i.e., That which is neither his wont nor his delight. {Lam_3:33 Mic_7:18 Eze_33:11} To fall foul upon his people by his plagues and judgments, goeth as much against the heart with him as against the hair with them. And besides, by doing this his "strange work," he maketh way for the doing of his own proper work. {1Co_11:32}
