Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:25

25. I, even I—the God against whom your sin is committed, and who alone can and will pardon. ( :-). for mine own sake— (Isaiah 48:9; Isaiah 48:11). How abominable a thing sin is, since it is against such a God of grace! "Blotted out" is an image from an account-book, in which, when a debt is paid, the charge is cancelled or blotted out. not remember . . . sins— (Jeremiah 31:34). When God forgives, He forgets; that is, treats the sinner as if He had forgotten his sins. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:26

26. Put me in remembrance—Remind Me of every plea which thou hast to urge before Me in thy defense. Image from a trial (Isaiah 1:18; Isaiah 41:1). Our strongest plea is to remind God of His own promises. So Jacob did at Mahanaim and Peniel (Genesis 32:9; Genesis 32:12). God, then, instead of "pleading against us with His great power," "will put His strength" in us (Genesis 32:12- :); we thus become "the Lord's remembrancers" (Isaiah 62:6, Margin). "Declare God's righteousness" vindicated in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 43:25

The Lord Himself (cf. Isaiah 43:11) would forgive His people for His own sake, not because they had earned forgiveness with their worship. Forgiveness of sin is a divine prerogative (cf. Matthew 9:2-6). He pictured forgiveness as erasing something previously written on a record (cf. Isaiah 44:22; 2 Kings 21:13; Psalms 51:1; Psalms 51:9). Another figure, forgetting sins committed against Himself, strengthens the promise of forgiveness (cf. Jeremiah 31:34; Micah 7:18-19). Since God is omniscient... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 43:26

Here God offered His people the opportunity to correct Him if what He had said was false, or to remind Him of something that He may have forgotten (Isaiah 43:25; cf. Isaiah 1:18). This heavily ironic offer would have drawn a silent admission of guilt from honest Israelites. Their sin was the root of their troubles, and all their goodness could not get them out of their difficulties.". . . until we recognize our need for grace, all our energies, energies designed for the praise of God [Isaiah... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:1-28

The Mission of Israel1-21. The dispersed Israelites shall be ransomed and restored. They are witnesses before the world that Jehovah is the true God. A second and more wonderful exodus is in store for Israel. 22-28. This deliverance is not a return for service rendered to God, but a free gift.1. But now] In contrast to the wrath poured upon Israel (Isaiah 42:24-25) God will manifest His redeeming love. 3. Egypt, etc.] The meaning is that these nations shall take the place of Israel as vassals.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 43:25

(25) I, even I . . .—As in Isaiah 1:2; Isaiah 1:18, the analogy with which may be noted as evidence of identity of authorship, the incisive words that prove the guilt of Israel are followed by the fullest offer of pardon on repentance. And this he does “for His own sake,” to manifest the everlasting righteousness which is also the everlasting love. The “blotting out” finds an echo in Colossians 2:14. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 43:26

(26) Put me in remembrance . . .—The object of the verb has been differently supplied: (1) “Remind me, if thou canst, of thy merits; plead in thine own defence for an acquittal;” and (2) “Remind me of my promise to thee, of that electing grace which called thee to be my servant.” The former seems to fit in best with what follows. read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-28

CHAPTER XVONE GOD, ONE PEOPLEIsaiah 41:8-20; Isaiah 42:1-25; Isaiah 43:1-28WE have been listening to the proclamation of a monotheism so absolute, that, as we have seen, modern critical philosophy, in surveying the history of religion, can find for it no rival among the faiths of the world. God has been exalted before us, in character so perfect, in dominion so universal, that neither the conscience nor the imagination of man can add to the general scope of the vision. Jesus and His Cross shall... read more
