以赛亚书 43:7-8 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-7

This chapter has a plain connexion with the close of the foregoing chapter, but a very surprising one. It was there said that Jacob and Israel would not walk in God's ways, and that when he corrected them for their disobedience they were stubborn and laid it not to heart; and now one would think it should have followed that God would utterly abandon and destroy them; but no, the next words are, But now, fear not, O Jacob! O Israel! I have redeemed thee, and thou art mine. Though many among... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 43:8-13

God here challenges the worshippers of idols to produce such proofs of the divinity of their false gods as even this very instance (to go no further) of the redemption of the Jews out of Babylon furnished the people of Israel with, to prove that their God is the true and living God, and he only. I. The patrons of idolatry are here called to appear, and say what they have to say in defence of their idols, Isa. 43:8, 9. Their gods have eyes and see not, ears and hear not, and those that make... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:7

Even everyone that is called by my name ,.... That is called by the name of God, a son or daughter of his; or by the name of Christ, a Christian; whoever belongs to the Lord, whom he calls by his name; and who, being called by his grace, call upon his name, make a profession of his name, and serve and worship him: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him, yea, I have made him ; all which is expressive of the power and grace of God, in the regeneration and conversion of his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:8

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears ,.... The Targum applies this to the bringing of the people of Israel out of Egypt; and others understand it of their deliverance from the Babylonish captivity; and some of the exclusion of them from the kingdom of heaven, and casting them into outward darkness, according to Matthew 8:12 , but it is rather to be understood of the conviction of them; though better of the Gentiles, and of the enlightening of them, who... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:7

Every one that is called by my name - All who worship the true God, and are obedient to his laws. I have created him - בראתיו berathiv . I have produced him out of nothing. For my glory - Ten MSS., three ancient, and the Syriac and Vulgate, read לכבודי licabodi , without the conjunction ו vau , and. I have formed him - יצרתיו yetsartiv . I have given him that particular form and shape which are best suited to his station in life. I have made him - עשיתיו ... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:8

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes "Bring forth the people, blind, although they have eyes" - I understand this of the Gentiles, as the verse following, not of the Jews. Their natural faculties, if they had made a proper use of them, must have led them to the knowledge of the being and attributes of the one true God; "for his eternal power and Godhead," if well attended to, are clearly seen in his works, ( Romans 1:20 ;), and would have preserved them from running into the folly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-7

A RENEWED PROMISE TO ISRAEL OF PROTECTION AND DELIVERANCE . Severe rebuke ( Isaiah 42:18-25 ) is followed, as so often in Isaiah ( Isaiah 1:25-27 ; Isaiah 4:2-6 ; Isaiah 9:1-16 , etc.), by comfort and consolation. Israel is assured that God has not cast him off, and promised the comfort of the Divine presence during the existing tribulation (verse 2), and. a speedy restoration to Palestine (verses 3-7). The scattered Israelites will be brought together from all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-7

The love of Jehovah to Israel. "But now." The word itself hints yearning affection. There has been a conflict between Divine love and Divine wrath, and the former has gained the victory. In fact, the wrath of Jehovah was but grieved affection. Its force is now for the time spent. He will now deliver and protect, reassemble and restore his people (Cheyne). I. IT IS THE LOVE OF A PARENT . "Thy Creator, O Jacob; he that formed thee, O Israel." Of all the works of God,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:3-7

The goodness of God to man. The abounding grace of God to the children of men is brought out very strikingly here. It is seen in— I. THE HIGH PURPOSE FOR WHICH HE CREATES US . "I have created him for my glory." There is no end so lofty in itself and so elevating in its influence for which God could have made mankind as this. It is for this, primarily, that the very highest intelligences in the heavenly spheres have their being. II. THE PROFOUND INTEREST HE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:7

Every one that is called by my name . The very name of "Israel" meant "prince of God," or "soldier of God," and thus every Israelite was "called by God's name." Israelites were also known among the nations as Jehovah-worshippers (see the Moabite Stone, line 18). I have created … formed … made him (comp. Isaiah 43:1 ). "The three verbs describe the process of formation from the first rough cutting to the perfecting of the work" (Cheyne). The third verb would, perhaps, be best translated.... read more
