isaiah 9:17 Therefore the Lord does not take pleasure in their young men, Nor does He have pity on their orphans or their widows; For every one of them is godless and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking foolishness. In [spite of] all this His anger does not turn away, And His hand is still stretched out.

< Isaiah 9:16
Isaiah 9:18 >

      17. no joy--the parallelism, "neither . . . mercy," shows that this means, He shall have no such delight in their youthful warriors, however much they be the nation's delight and reliance, as to save them from the enemy's sword (Isa 31:8; compare Jer 18:21).
      fatherless, &c.--not even the usual objects of His pity (Ps 10:14, 18; 68:5; Jer 49:11; Ho 14:3) shall be spared.
      hypocrite--rather, a libertine, polluted [HORSLEY].
      folly--wickedness (Ps 14:1).
      still--Notwithstanding all these judgments, more remain.
