This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.
Ver. 14. Behold, they shall be as stubble.] As dried stubble. {Nah_1:10} {See Trapp on "Nah_1:10"}
They shall not deliver themselves.] Much less others.
There shall not be a coal to warm at.] Like a fire of flax, which is soon extinct, and leaves no embers or cinders behind it. In a spiritual sense, it may be said of most of our hearts and houses as here, There is not a coal to warm at. Deest ignis, as Father Latimer was wont to say; the fire of zeal is wanting, that flame of God. {Son_8:6}
