Isaiah 40:10 NLT,NIV,ESV

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 40:1-31

Chapter 40But he's talking about a whole new message of God for the people as we get into the new covenant of God. And so it is appropriate that this new section of Isaiah begins with the word of the Lord declaring,Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all of her sins ( Isaiah 40:1-2 ).So the day of God's forgiveness,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 40:10-11

10, 11. Behold Serious attention is again challenged. Amplification of last words in preceding verse.

He is, as it were, commended here as a trustful and safe leader to his returning people; as himself the Almighty Strongest One, and will show himself to be... read more
