Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 59:17

17. Messiah is represented as a warrior armed at all points, going forth to vindicate His people. Owing to the unity of Christ and His people, their armor is like His, except that they have no "garments of vengeance" (which is God's prerogative, :-), or "cloak of zeal" (in the sense of judicial fury punishing the wicked; this zeal belongs properly to God, 2 Kings 10:16; Romans 10:2; Philippians 3:6; "zeal," in the sense of anxiety for the Lord's honor, they have, Numbers 25:11; Numbers 25:13;... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 59:15-21

What God would do 59:15b-21This is the third and last pericope, parallel to Isaiah 57:14-21, which announces that God would deliver His people from the sin that plagued them as redeemed people (cf. Isaiah 6:5). The section also closes the part of Isaiah that deals with the recognition of human inability (chs. 56-59)."This is the ultimate development of the Divine Warrior motif in the Bible: God comes to destroy the final enemy of what he has created: not the monster Chaos, but the monster Sin."... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 59:17

(17) He put on righteousness . . .—The close parallelism with Isaiah 11:0 points, as far as it goes, to identity of authorship; and that with Ephesians 6:14-17 suggests a new significance for St. Paul’s “whole armour of God.”The garments of vengeance . . .—As parts of a warrior’s dress the “garments” are the short tunic, or tabard, which hung over the breast-plate; the “cloke” the scarlet mantle (the chlamys of the Roman soldier), its colour probably making it a fit symbol of the zeal of... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 59:1-21

Sin As Separation From God Isaiah 59:2 We cannot fathom the mystery of sin; we may not even ask the questions, How? and Why? But we may contemplate the terrible fact, and remind ourselves of what it is. All sin, in its degree, separates the soul from God: and whatever separates from God is sin. I. All sin in its degree separates the soul from God, 'and sin, when it is perfected, bringeth forth death'. For as the separation of the body from the soul is the death of the body, so the utter... read more
