Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:7
"For the Lord Jehovah will help me; therefore have I not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame."Cheyne compared Jesus and Job, noting that, "Whereas Job, the type of a righteous man, shrinks in terror from the issue (of terrible suffering), the Servant, human and yet superhuman in nature, has no doubt as to a favorable result."[12] He set his face like a flint to do God's will. Luke, especially, was impressed with this trait in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:8
"He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand up together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me."The one who was near to Jesus and who would surely justify him was God the Father. He justified Jesus when he raised him from the dead. "By the resurrection, God acquitted Christ of the charge of blasphemy upon which he had been condemned, and by that resurrection proclaimed him to be, `holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners.'"[13] (See Hebrews 7:26). read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:9
"Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? behold, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up."These words are strongly suggestive of Paul's words in Romans 8:31, "If God be for us, who can be against us!""They all shall wax old as a garment ..." This is also declared to be true of the heavens themselves (Hebrews 1:10-12). If Christ shall indeed survive to see the end of the sidereal universe, infinitely less would be the chances that any of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 50:9
Isaiah 50:9. Lo, they all shall wax old as a garment— The simple sense of this metaphorical expression is, that all the adversaries of Christ should be abolished and done away, like a garment, which grows vile and useless by wearing, and is at length consumed by the moths. This is expressed plainly and literally, chap. Isaiah 41:11. See also Psalms 73:27. Some think that here is an allusion to the old oeconomy, which, under the dispensation of the new, was entirely to grow old and vanish away.... read more

8. ( :-). The believer, by virtue of his oneness with Christ, uses the same language (Psalms 138:8; Romans 8:32-34). But "justify" in His case, is God's judicial acceptance and vindication of Him on the ground of His own righteousness (Luke 23:44-47; Romans 1:4; 1 Timothy 3:16, with which compare 1 Peter 3:18); in their case, on the ground of His righteousness and meritorious death imputed to them (1 Peter 3:18- :). stand together—in judgment, to try the issue. adversary—literally, "master of... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Isaiah 50:7
set My face like a flint. Note the fulfilment. His death was not an event which happened. He "accomplished" it Himself (Luke 9:31 ), and, after saying this, "He steadfastly set His face", as above, "like a flint". He laid down His life Himself: but not till His hour (the right hour) had come (John 10:15-18 ). read more
