Isaiah - 31:7 Meaning
“For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
31:6-9 They have been backsliding children, yet children; let them return, and their backslidings shall be healed, though they have sunk deep into misery, and cannot easily recover. Many make an idol of their silver and gold, and by the love of that are drawn from God; but those who turn to God, will be ready to part with it. Then, when they have cast away their idols, shall the Assyrian fall by the sword of an angel, who strikes more strongly than a mighty man, yet more secretly than a mean man. God can make the stoutest heart to tremble. But if we keep up the fire of holy love and devotion in our hearts and houses, we may depend upon God to protect us and them.
“But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.”
