Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:11-13

Isaiah 43:11-13. Besides me there is no saviour None that can and does save his worshippers: wherein is implied, that the false gods were not only weak and unable to save those that trusted in them, but also were their destroyers, as being the great cause of their ruin. I have declared, and have saved I first foretold your deliverance, and then effected it. And l have showed, when there was no strange god, &c. Rather, I made it known; nor was it any strange god. So Bishop Lowth.... read more

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:8-10

Isaiah 43:8-10. Bring forth the blind, &c.— Vitringa renders the 9th verse, Let, &c. Who among them could declare this? Either let them tell us what shall first happen, and bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them [be content to] hear, and say, this is truth. The scope of this period is, to confirm the people of God in their belief of the true Divinity, from those remarkable events so clearly foretold by the prophet; and to instruct them, to convince the degenerate... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:11-13

Isaiah 43:11-13. I, even I, am the Lord, &c.— I even I, &c. Isaiah 43:12. I have declared and saved, and foreshewed, and not any strange god among you [hath done so]; therefore, &c.

10. Ye—the Jews, to whom I have given predictions, verified by the event; and in delivering whom I have so often manifested My power (see Isaiah 43:3; Isaiah 43:4; Isaiah 44:8). and my servant—that is, the whole Jewish people (Isaiah 41:8). believe—trust in. formed—before I existed none of the false gods were formed.
