15 public-domain excerpts on Isaiah 50, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“DYING FIRES Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that gird yourselves about with firebrands: walk ye in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.'--ISAIAH l. 11. The scene brought before us in these words is that of a company of belated travellers in some desert, lighting a little fire that glimmers ineffectual in the darkness of the eerie waste. …”
— Alexander MacLaren, Expositions of Holy Scripture: Isaiah and Jeremiah, on Isaiah 50:11–30 (Public Domain)
