以賽亞書 51:16 RCUVTS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 51:1-23

God of the impossible (51:1-23)To the captive Jews it must have seemed almost impossible to escape from the powerful grip of the tyrant Babylon, make the long journey over harsh territory and then rebuild their ruined country. God encourages them with reminders of the apparently impossible things he has done for them in the past. The very origin of Israel was something of a miracle. God built a nation out of one couple, even though the man and his wife were past the age when they might normally... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 51:12-16

Isaiah 51:12-16. I, even I, am he that comforteth, &c.— The apostrophe being finished, wherein the foundation of this consolation was laid; the thread of the discourse is resumed, and the consolation is continued, which seems more properly to belong to the Father in this place than to the Son; and the sum of the discourse is, to fortify the people of God against the fears and dangers threatened by the adversaries of the true religion, and the princes and chief of those adversaries, who... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 51:16

Though God spoke this verse to Israel, it is clear that only the ideal Israel, the Servant, could be the ultimate fulfillment of what He said. Watts again identified this servant as Darius. [Note: Watts, Isaiah 34-66, p. 213.] He had put His words in the mouth of the Israelites but would also do so uniquely for His Servant (cf. Isaiah 49:2). He had provided compassionate care for the nation but would do so in a special way for His Servant (cf. Isaiah 49:2). He would use the Israelites to create... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 51:16

(16) And I have put my words in thy mouth . . .—Some interpreters assume, that while Isaiah 51:1? was spoken to the Jewish exiles, this, which reminds us of Isaiah 49:2, is addressed to the Servant of the Lord. Of these, some (Cheyne), struck by the apparent abruptness, assume it to be misplaced. There seems no adequate reason for adopting either hypothesis. The words are spoken to Israel, contemplated as in its ideal, as were the others to the actual Israel. It remains true, as ever, that that... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 51:1-23

The Pentateuch Genesis Isaiah 51:1-2 Today we begin to examine the early books of the Old Testament. The first five books stand together by themselves. Sometimes they are called the Pentateuch, which means only 'the book of five volumes '. First we must attend to the place which these five books hold in the history of the Jews. Speaking roughly, we may say that they tell us the beginning of the Jewish people. The early steps and stages by which they become a people. I. We see at the beginning... read more
