Isaiah 25:11
Isaiah 25:11 in Multiple Translations
He will spread out his hands within it, as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim. His pride will be brought low, despite the skill of his hands.
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim; but Jehovah will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands.
And if he puts out his hands, like a man stretching out his hands in swimming, the Lord will make low his pride, however expert his designs.
They will reach out their hands to try and save themselves, like swimmers using their hands to swim, but their pride will be humbled however much they thrash about.
And he shall stretche out his hande in the middes of them (as he that swimmeth, stretcheth them out to swimme) and with the strength of his handes shall he bring downe their pride.
And he spread out his hands in its midst, As spread out doth the swimmer to swim; And He hath humbled his excellency With the machinations of his hands.
He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
And he will spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he will bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
And he shall stretch forth his hands under him, as he that swimmeth stretcheth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down his glory with the dashing of his hands.
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes the water with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.

Isaiah 25:11 Summary
[Isaiah 25:11 is a powerful reminder that our own strength and abilities are not enough to save us, and that we must trust in God's power and provision to truly overcome. Just like a swimmer who spreads out their hands to stay afloat, we may try to save ourselves, but ultimately we will fail without God's help (as seen in Psalm 60:11). This verse encourages us to surrender our pride and self-sufficiency and trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, as expressed in Romans 11:36. By doing so, we can experience true freedom and salvation, as promised in Isaiah 45:22.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for someone to spread out their hands like a swimmer?
In Isaiah 25:11, this phrase is a metaphor for someone trying to save themselves, but ultimately failing, much like the foolishness of those who trust in themselves in Proverbs 28:26.
Why will the pride of this person be brought low?
According to Isaiah 25:11, the pride of this person will be brought low because, despite their skill and abilities, they are still subject to God's judgment and sovereignty, as seen in Daniel 4:37 where Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges God's dominion over all kingdoms.
Is this verse talking about a specific person or a group of people?
While the verse does not specify a particular individual, the context of Isaiah 25 suggests that it is referring to the nation of Moab, which is being judged by God for its pride and arrogance, similar to the judgment pronounced in Isaiah 16:6-7.
What is the significance of the image of the swimmer in this verse?
The image of the swimmer in Isaiah 25:11 serves to emphasize the futility of human effort when it is not grounded in faith and trust in God, as expressed in Psalm 127:1-2 where it is written that unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.
Reflection Questions
- How do I struggle with pride and self-sufficiency in my own life, and what are the consequences of trusting in my own abilities rather than God's power and provision?
- In what ways can I apply the lesson of this verse to my own circumstances, recognizing the limits of my own strength and the importance of trusting in God's sovereignty?
- What are some areas in my life where I am trying to 'swim' on my own, and how can I surrender those areas to God and trust in His goodness and provision?
- How can I use this verse as a reminder to cultivate humility and dependence on God, rather than relying on my own abilities and strengths?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 25:11
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them,.... In the midst of Moab, in the midst of the enemies of the church of God; and so it denotes the utter destruction of them; for the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 25:11
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 25:11
He; either, 1. Moab, who being plunged into a sea of troubles, shall endeavour to swim out of it, but to no purpose; or rather, 2. The Lord, who is designed by this very pronoun he, both in the latter clause of this verse, and in the following verse; whose power they shall be no more able to resist, than the waters can resist a man that swims, who with great facility divides them hither and thither. Shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them; or, stretch forth his hands to the utmost, to smite and destroy them. As he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands, which he doth to the uttermost. With the spoils of their hands; with all that wealth which they have gained by rapine, and spoiling of God’ s people, and others. But the words are otherwise rendered by others, with or by the arms of his hands; which he may mention, because the strength of a man, and of his hands, consisteth in his arms; whence also the arm in Scripture is oft put for strength: or, by the motion or stroke of his hands, as all the ancient translators do in effect render it. And this seems to agree best with the metaphor here borrowed from one that swimmeth, which is performed in that manner.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 25:11
Isaiah 25:11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.Ver. 11. And he shall spread forth his hands, &c., ] i.e., He shall destroy them with greatest facility. The motion in swimming is easy, not strong; for strong strokes in the water would rather sink than support. Vatablus refers this to Christ stretching out his hands upon the cross, whereby he overcame Satan and his imps. Together with the spoils.] Or, Wiles of his hands, i.e., his wealth gotten by wrench and wile, as we say.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 25:11
(11) As he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim.—The structure of the sentence leaves it uncertain whether the comparison applies (1) to Jehovah spreading forth His hands with the swimmer’s strength to repress the pride of Moab, or (2) to the outstretched hands upon the Cross, or (3) to Moab vainly struggling in the deep waters of calamity. Each view has the support of commentators. The last seems beyond question most in harmony with the context. Ineffective struggles for preservation naturally suggest the parallel, “like some strong swimmer in his agony” (Psalms 69:1-2; Psalms 69:14). In the second clause there is, of course, no reason for doubt. It is Jehovah who “brings down the pride” of the guilty nation.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 25:11
Verse 11. As he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim - "As he that sinketh stretcheth out his hands to swim"] There is great obscurity in this place: some understand God as the agent; others, Moab. I have chosen the latter sense, as I cannot conceive that the stretching out of the hands of a swimmer in swimming can be any illustration of the action of God stretching out his hands over Moab to destroy it. I take השחה hashshocheh, altering the point on the ש sin. on the authority of the Septuagint, to be the participle of שחה shachah, the same with שוח shuach, and שחח shachach, to bow down, to be depressed; and that the prophet designed a paronomasia here, a figure which he frequently uses between the similar words שהח shachah, and שחות shechoth. As תחתיו tachtaiv, in his place, or on the spot, as we say in the preceding verse, gives us an idea of the sudden and complete destruction of Moab; so בקרבו bekirbo, in the midst of him, means that this destruction shall be open, and exposed to the view of all: the neighbouring nations shall plainly see him struggling against it, as a man in the midst of the deep waters exerts all his efforts by swimming, to save himself from drowning. - L.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 25:11
11. The figure of Moab trying to swim in the dung-pit is sufficiently graphic, if somewhat repulsive. in the midst of them] should be (as in R.V.) in the midst thereof, i.e. of the dung-pit, although there is an enallage generis. and he (Jehovah) shall bring down his pride] See on ch. Isaiah 16:6. together with the spoils of their hands] Perhaps: in spite of the wiles of his hands. The expression is strange.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 25:11
And he shall spread forth his hands - The sense is, that Yahweh would stretch out his hands everywhere, prostrating his enemies, and the enemies of his people.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 25:11
11, 12. He shall spread forth his hands — The subject “he” is supposed by some to be Moab; by those especially who take αξε, b’mo, Isaiah 25:10, (a poetic preposition,)as the incorrect reading for
