以赛亚书 51:7 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 51:4-8

Both these proclamations, as I may call them, end alike with an assurance of the perpetuity of God's righteousness and his salvation; and therefore we put them together, both being designed for the comfort of God's people. Observe, I. Who they are to whom this comfort belongs: ?My people, and my nation, that I have set apart for myself, that own me and are owned by me.? Those are God's people and his nation who are subject to him as their King and their God, pay allegiance to him, and put... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 51:7

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness ,.... The righteousness of God, and of his law; the purity of his nature, what righteousness is agreeable to him, and required by him; the imperfection and insufficiency of a man's own righteousness, and the glory and fulness of Christ's righteousness, revealed in the Gospel; and so know that, as to approve of it, follow after it, lay hold upon it, believe in it, and rejoice in it, as their justifying righteousness: the people in whose heart is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 51:1-8

AN ADDRESS TO FAITHFUL ISRAEL , SUGGESTING TOPICS OF COMFORT . The address consists of three nearly equal strophes or stanzas, each commencing with a call, Shim'u elai , "Hearken unto me," or Haqshibu elai , "Attend to me." The prophet appears to be the speaker, and to address himself to the more faithful portion of the people. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 51:1-8

Instructions to the spiritual Israel. The people are described as "possessing righteousness," i.e. following a way of life in accordance with the Divine commands; and "seeking Jehovah," i.e. attending to all that his mind approves and his will commands. I. THE LESSON OF THEIR ORIGIN . They had been, as it were, hewn from a rock and dug out of a pit. The allusion is to Abraham. They had sprung from one, and him as good as dead ( Hebrews 11:12 ). They had been as rough as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 51:7

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness . The highest grade of faithfulness is here addressed—not those who "seek" ( Isaiah 51:1 ), but those who have found—who " know righteousness," and have the "law" of God in their " hearts. " Such persons may still be liable to one weakness—they may "fear the reproach of men." The prophet exhorts them to put aside this fear, remembering read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 51:7

The servants of God must not fear the reproach of men. The reproach of men is a thing of small account— I. BECAUSE MEN ARE APT TO BE MISTAKEN IN THEIR JUDGMENTS . The bulk of men have no wish even to be fair in their judgments. They praise and blame, acquit and condemn, either as their own interests—party or other—are concerned, or sometimes quite at random, according as the fancy takes them. Even such as wish to be fair very often misjudge, either II. BECAUSE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 51:7-13

A sure criterion of character, etc. This address of Jehovah to the good and worthy among his people contains— I. A SURE CRITERION OF CHARACTER . 1 . It is well to be hearers of God's Word. All the Jews were that; they were all the children of privilege. This, however, was by no means sufficient to prove that they were the children of God. 2 . It is better to know his Word and to understand his will. It says something for us if we can be thus addressed, "Ye that know... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 51:7-13

Fear, and Fear not. "Fear ye not the reproach of men;" "Afraid of a man that shall die;" "Forgettest the Lord thy Maker." It has been said, "Fear God, and thou shalt have none else to fear." And the apostle, glorifying the fear of God by calling it love , says, "Perfect love casteth out fear." The immediate connection of the passage is Israel's fear of the Babylonians. But they need not have feared if they had looked to the "Lord as their Defence, and to the God of Jacob as their... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 51:7-8

Isaiah 51:7-8. Hearken, ye that know righteousness Who not only understand, but love and practise it; whose persons are justified, whose nature is renewed, and whose lives are subject to my laws. These seem to be distinguished from those who are spoken of ( Isa 51:1 ) as following after righteousness. These had attained what the others were only in pursuit of. The people in whose heart is my law Who are here opposed to the carnal Jews, that had the law written only on tables of stone.... read more
