The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:26

Put me in remembrance . Either, ironically, "Remind me of thy good deeds; plead thy cause with me on that ground; show the merits that justify thee;" or else seriously, "Remind me of my promises; plead them before me; declare them, that by my free grace I may justify thee." The latter is the more probable interpretation. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:25

I, even I, am he - This verse contains a gracious assurance that their sins would be blotted out, and the reason why it would be done. The pronoun ‘I’ is repeated to make it emphatic, as in Isaiah 43:11. Perhaps also God designs to show them the evil of the sins which are mentioned in the previous verses, by the assurance that they were committed against him who alone could forgive, and who had promised them pardon. The passage also reminds them, that it was God alone who could pardon the sins... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:26

Put me in remembrance - That is, urge all the arguments in your own defense which you can urge. State everything in self-vindication which can be stated. The language here is taken from the practice of courts when a cause is on trial; and God urges them on their side, to urge all in self-vindication which they can urge. On his part, he alleged that the princes and rulers of the nation had sinned Isaiah 43:27; that the whole nation had transgressed Isaiah 43:23-24, and that for this they were... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:25

Isaiah 43:25. I, even I Whom thou hast thus despised, and wearied, and provoked to destroy thee; am he that blotteth out thy transgressions Out of my book, in which they were all written, to be read unto thee, and charged upon thee at a future day. Sins are often compared to debts, (Matthew 6:12, &c.,) written in the creditor’s book, and crossed or blotted out when they are paid. For mine own sake Being moved thereunto, not by thy merits, but by my own mere goodness and free mercy. ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:26

Isaiah 43:26. Put me in remembrance Of thy good deeds and merits. Let us plead together I give thee free liberty to urge all thou canst in thy own behalf. Declare thou, that thou mayest be justified Bring forward all thou canst, in order to thy justification, and declare on what ground thou expectest to be acquitted, and continued in my favour. But perhaps the words are not to be considered as spoken ironically, and intended as a rebuke to such as were proud and self-righteous; but are... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-28

Redemption through God’s grace (43:1-28)Despite Israel’s failure and subsequent punishment, God has not cast off his people for ever. God used the power of foreign nations to enslave them and bring sufferings and hardships upon them, but he will now destroy the power of those nations. He will make them pay the ransom price for the redemption of captive Israel. They will fall so that Israel can go free (43:1-4). Wherever the captives are, they are still God’s people, and he will bring them back... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 43:25

"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth thy cause, that thou mayest be justified. Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore, I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling."Isaiah 43:25 does not mean that God is forgiving Israel's sins without regard to their penitence; but it... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:25-28

Isaiah 43:25-28. I, even I, am he that blotteth out— In the 25th verse the prophet declares, in words truly evangelical, that the divine grace alone, freely forgiving transgressions and sins, is the cause of the blessings and benefits predicted and promised. He then urges, Isa 43:26 the conviction begun, Isaiah 43:22. He offers to the Jews in the name of God, the condition of publicly disputing before just judges, and at the same time of choosing that side of the argument which they should... read more
