イザヤ書 50:5-10 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:7

For the Lord God will help me; rather, but the Lord God will help me. I shall not be left always in the hands of my enemies. In this confidence the Servant rests, and is not confounded, even when the worst happens to him. He sets his face like a flint ; i.e. makes it hard, impassive, expressionless, and at the same time determined, fixed not to give way (comp. Ezekiel 3:8 , Ezekiel 3:9 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:7

God's help in time of need. "For the Lord God will help me." This one assurance suffices, and gives the Servant of Jehovah an indomitable strength. "Against the crowd of mockers he places Adonai Jehovah." "Those whom God employs he will assist, and will take care they want not any help that they or their work call for. God, having laid help upon his Son for us, gave help to him, and his hand was all along with the Man of his right hand" (Matthew Henry). "Greater is he who is with us than all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:8

The Justifier's protection. "Near is he that justifieth me." Reference is to the Servant of Jehovah, whom we identify as the Messiah. The associations of our Lord's trial and death may suggest that he was a malefactor. God allows no such impression to remain. He justifies him, by raising him from the dead and granting him full acceptance. He declares him to have been innocent and righteous. The security of those who have a standing in Christ lies in the plea made for them by their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:8-9

He is near that justifieth me. God, who knows his innocence, is near at hand, and will shortly "make his righteousness clear as the noonday." This was done when God raised up from the dead "the Holy One and the Just" ( Acts 3:14 ). whom cruel men "by wicked hands had crucified and slain" ( Acts 2:23 ). By the resurrection God acquitted Christ of the charge of blasphemy on which he had been condemned, and proclaimed him "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners" ( Hebrews 7:26 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:8-9

No condemnation for those whom God justifies. Those whom God has justified may still be, sometimes are, arraigned I. SATAN 'S ARRAIGNMENT VAIN . "Hast thou considered my servant Job," said Jehovah to Satan, "that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?" To which the answer was given, "Doth Job fear God for nought?" ( Job 1:8 , Job 1:9 ). Satan arraigned Job as selfish, hypocritical, irreligious, and was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:10

That obeyeth the voice of his servant ; that is, of "his servant" for the time being, whether Isaiah, or Jeremiah, or " the Servant" κατ ̓ ἐξοχήν That walketh in darkness . Not clearly seeing his way or knowing what his duty is, and so inclined to despond and doubt. Every such person is bidden to put aside his doubts, and trust wholly in the Name of the Lord, and stay upon his God . Hence light will shine in upon him, and his doubts will be resolved, and sufficient light will be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:10

A searching query. "Who is among you," etc.? What wonderful discrimination of character there is in Scripture! It is "a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." And it is ever associated with the Divine remedies. Go to a physician, and you often fear the worst. That never is so with the great Physician. Beautiful idea of trust! We cannot force either conviction or feeling. 1 . The position described. 2 . The remedy proposed. I. THE POSITION DESCRIBED .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:10

Counsel for those who walk in the dark. "Let him trust in the Name of the Lord, and stay upon his God." Christians " walk in darkness when their evidences for heaven are clouded, their joy in God is interrupted, the testimony of the Spirit is suspended, and the light of God's countenance is eclipsed." The first reference of this passage is to the anxieties of the latter part of Hezekiah's reign, when national dangers were great, and many political parties existed, one recommending one... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:10-11

AN ADDRESS OF JEHOVAH TO HIS CHURCH . Some suppose that the Church of Hezekiah's reign is addressed; others the exiles towards the close of the Captivity period. The first verse is an exhortation, encouraging those who fear God, but have insufficient light, to trust in him. The second threatens such as "kindle fire," or cause strife, with retribution. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 50:5

The Lord God hath opened mine ear - This is another expression denoting that he was attentive to the import of the divine commission (see Psalms 40:6).And I was not rebellious - I willingly undertook the task of communicating the divine will to mankind. The statement here is in accordance with all that is said of the Messiah, that he was willing to come and do the will of God, and that whatever trials the work involved he was prepared to meet them (see Psalms 40:6-8; compare Hebrews 10:4-10). read more
