Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 42:16

Isaiah THE BLIND MAN’S GUIDE Isa_42:16 . The grand stormy verses before these words, with all their dread array of natural convulsions, have one object-the tender guidance promised in the text. So we have the combination of terror and love, the blending in the divine government of terrible judgments and most gentle guidance. The words apply, of course, primarily to the redemption of Israel; but through them shines a picture of the greater redemption of humanity. 1. The blind travellers.... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 42:14-25

a Deaf and Blind Messenger Isaiah 42:14-25 There are times in our lives when God seems to hold His peace. Evil is rife, bad men prosper, society lies under the spell of vice. It is only temporary , however. Then God comes forth out of the silence, and shows Himself “strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him.” He brings the blind “by a way that they knew not,” and makes “the crooked places straight.” These wonderful things are wrought not for the wise and holy alone, but... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 42:1-25

The manifesto now presents the great Servant of Jehovah. His person is first described. His manifestation is announced (verse Isaiah 42:1) , His mission is declared (verse Isaiah 42:1) , His method is described (verses Isa 42:2-3 ), and His might is affirmed (verse Isa 42:4 ). Then His relation to Jehovah is indicated in the words of Jehovah. He is called, held, kept, and given, and all that for purposes of deliverance. The ultimate purpose is the glory of Jehovah. The prophet immediately... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:16

THE SPIRITUALLY BLESSED‘And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.’ Isaiah 42:16 I. When the prophet Isaiah uses such language as this, ‘I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not,’ he just illustrates the language of Paul, ‘I am what I am by the grace of God that is in me.’— I will do it. It is... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 42:10-17

A Further Song of Deliverance And Judgment (Isaiah 42:10-17 ). Following on the revelation of the Servant comes the joy of the nations in seeing God at work though Him. In this brief section movement is rapid. The righteous will sing for joy at their deliverance, but God will shout His battlecries against the ungodly. He will introduce judgment with the earnestness of a woman in labour, and will bring drought upon the world. He will make easy the way of His chosen ones, but those who trust in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 42:16

The blind; the Gentiles, who were blind, and were called so, above, Isaiah 42:7, and in many other places of Scripture, and were so accounted by the Jews. By a way that they know not; by the way of truth, which hitherto hath been hidden from them, until by my word and Spirit I revealed it to them. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight; I will take away all hinderances, and give them all advantages and conveniences for their journey. I will direct them in the right... read more

GOD’S TERRIBLENESS AND GENTLENESSIsaiah 42:14-16. I will destroy and devour at once, &c.The measure of greatness is the measure of terribleness; constructiveness is the beneficent side of destructiveness.The fire that warms will, if abused, reduce the palace to ashes; the river which gladdens the landscape may devastate it; the engine that bears the laughing child to his longed-for home will, if mismanaged, occasion terrible havoc; the lightning, which may be caught and utilised, can burn... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 42:14-16

Isaiah 42:14-16 The solemn practical truth of the text is that God can do the most terrible things and the most gentle; that power belongeth unto God and also mercy; that He is either glorious as heaven or fearful as hell. I. Look at the doctrine of the text in relation to bad men who pride themselves upon their success and their strength. The doctrine of the text is that there is a Power beyond man's, and that nothing is held safely which is not held by consent of that Power. As he would be... read more
