Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 28:12

12. To whom he said , This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest , and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear .

To which People the Lord, by his Ministers, said.

This Doctrine or Precept, as it is expressed, ver. 9, 10. or the word of the Lord, as it follows, ver. 13.

The onely way, in the observation of which you will find rest and satisfaction.

Heb. Cause the weary (understand either Soul or Country) to rest. As Rest is offered to you by the Prophets in God's name, do you embrace it; which is to be done by hearkening to God's Word, as appears by the following Clauses. So shall this People, which hath been so oft, and so long wearied, and harassed by great and manifold Calamities, find Rest and Peace.

They are wilfully ignorant, and obstinately refused the very means of Instruction.
