Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 42:15

I will make waste mountains and hills; not dry and barren ones, for these were waste already, but such as are clothed with grass and herbs, as the following words imply; which is to be understood metaphorically, of God’s destroying his most lofty and flourishing enemies, who are oft compared in Scripture unto mountains and hills.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 42:1-25

Isaiah 42:1 . Behold my servant. In the Chaldaic, the Messiah; and so the whole passage is cited from the LXX. Matthew 12:17-20. All other applications of the word “servant” are superseded. Christ took upon him the form of a servant, as the great minister of his Father’s kingdom, which kingdom he must deliver up at the end of time. Isaiah 42:4 . He shall not fail till he hath set judgment in the earth. The LXX, He shall shine out; that is, the Messiah shall proceed with his work, till... read more
