How preachers through history handled this text
7 public-domain excerpts on Isaiah 27, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“THE GRASP THAT BRINGS PEACE Let him take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; yea, let him make peace with Me.'--ISAIAH xxvii. 5. Lyrical emotion makes the prophet's language obscure by reason of its swift transitions from one mood of feeling to another. But the main drift here is discernible. God is guarding Israel, His vineyard, and before Him its foes are weak as thorns and briers,' whose end is to be burned. …”
— Alexander MacLaren, Expositions of Holy Scripture: Isaiah and Jeremiah, on Isaiah 27:5–30 (Public Domain)
