isaiah 57:3 "But come here, you sons of a sorceress, Offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute.

< Isaiah 57:2
Isaiah 57:4 >

      3. But . . . ye--In contrast to "the righteous" and their end, he announces to the unbelieving Jews their doom.
      sons of the sorceress--that is, ye that are addicted to sorcery: this was connected with the worship of false gods (2Ki 21:6). No insult is greater to an Oriental than any slur cast on his mother (1Sa 20:30; Job 30:8).
      seed of the adulterer--Spiritual adultery is meant: idolatry and apostasy (Mt 16:4).
