Context — The Captivity of Ephraim
4The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest: Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.
5On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,
6a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
7These also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine. They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments. 8For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.Cross References

Isaiah 28:6 Summary
Isaiah 28:6 is a promise that God will give His people the wisdom and strength they need to make good decisions and stand firm against challenges. This verse reminds us that God is our helper and protector, and that He will give us the 'spirit of justice' we need to live righteous lives, as seen in Micah 6:8, where we are called to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God. By trusting in God's power and guidance, we can face any onslaught that comes our way, just like the psalmist in Psalm 23:4, who trusts in God's presence and protection even in the darkest valleys.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'a spirit of justice' mean in Isaiah 28:6?
A spirit of justice refers to the Holy Spirit's work in guiding and empowering leaders to make fair and righteous decisions, as seen in Isaiah 11:2, where the Spirit of the Lord rests on the Messiah, giving Him wisdom and justice.
Who are the ones 'sitting in judgment' in this verse?
Those sitting in judgment are likely leaders or officials who are responsible for making decisions and governing God's people, similar to the judges in the book of Judges, such as Deborah in Judges 4:4-5.
What kind of 'onslaught' is being referred to in this verse?
The onslaught at the gate likely refers to a military attack or a time of spiritual assault, where God's people are being threatened or pressured, and the strength provided by God is necessary to repel the attack, as seen in Psalm 121:1-2, where God is the helper and protector of His people.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the chapter?
This verse stands in contrast to the description of the drunken priests and prophets in Isaiah 28:7-8, highlighting the difference between those who are empowered by God's Spirit and those who are controlled by their own fleshly desires, as seen in Ephesians 5:18, where believers are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 28:6
He explains how, or wherein, God would glorify and beautify them, even by giving wisdom to their rulers, and courage to their soldiers; which two things contribute much to the strength, and safety, and glory of a nation. To them that turn the battle to the gate; to their warriors; whom he describeth by this phrase, to intimate that their valour should be crowned with success, and that they should not only drive their enemies from their own gates and land, but should pursue them into their own lands, and besiege them in their own cities, which Hezekiah did; .
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 28:6
Isaiah 28:6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.Ver. 6. And for a spirit of judgment.] A sagacity more than ordinary, in regard whereof Solomon calleth the king’ s doom a divination, as is well observed. And for strength to them, &c.] In this verse we have the description of a happy state, governed justly at home, and able abroad to resist any endeavour of the enemy. Diod.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 28:6
(6) And for a spirit of judgment . . .—The words remind us of the list of spiritual gifts in Isaiah 11:2. The injustice of corrupt judges was the crying evil of both Samaria and Jerusalem, and their place was to be taken by those who should be just and faithful. And brave warriors, able to drive back the enemy to the gate of the city from which they had issued forth (2 Samuel 11:23)—or, perhaps, to defeat them at the gate of that which they attacked—should be the companions of the upright judges.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 28:6
Verse 6. The battle to the gate - "The war to the gate of the enemy."] That is, who pursue the fleeing enemy even to the very gates of their own city. "But we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate," 2 Samuel 11:23; that is, we drove the enemy back to their own gates. See also 1 Samuel 17:52. The Targum says, The Messiah shall give the victory to those who go out to battle, that he may bring them back to their own houses in peace.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 28:6
6. Jehovah is not only the beauty of the redeemed nation, but the source of all civic and martial virtues. a spirit of judgment] The same phrase (but with a different meaning) occurs in ch. Isaiah 4:4. “Spirit” is used here as in ch. Isaiah 11:2. to him that sitteth in judgment] (or “over the judgment[-seat]”)—the king or the judge (cf. ch. Isaiah 32:1). for strength (or, valour) to them that … gate] Better, at the gate, not the gate of the enemy, but of the city or land (Nahum 3:13) into which the enemy have penetrated. The promise is somewhat remarkable for Isaiah (cf. Micah 5:5 ff.). 7, 8 form the literary introduction to the dramatic incident represented in Isaiah 28:9-13; they are not part of Isaiah’s spoken discourse on that occasion. The opening words But these also (R.V.) connect this section with the preceding, but the connexion is due to similarity of subject, and not to coincidence of date. There are obvious reasons why the prediction of the fall of Samaria should be republished in the time of Sennacherib. The magnates of Jerusalem were following the lead of Samaria, both in their dissolute habits and in their foolish trust in an Egyptian alliance; Samaria is a mirror in which they may read their own character and their own doom.
On intemperance among the Judæan nobility see ch. Isaiah 5:11 f., 22.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 28:6
And for a spirit of judgment - (compare the note at Isaiah 1:26; Isaiah 11:2).
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 28:6
5, 6. The subject partially changes here. In that day — Referring to the time when events above predicted should occur. Crown of glory, and… diadem of beauty — The events at Samaria are to present two lessons: 1.
