Isaiah 43:11 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 43:8-13

God here challenges the worshippers of idols to produce such proofs of the divinity of their false gods as even this very instance (to go no further) of the redemption of the Jews out of Babylon furnished the people of Israel with, to prove that their God is the true and living God, and he only. I. The patrons of idolatry are here called to appear, and say what they have to say in defence of their idols, Isa. 43:8, 9. Their gods have eyes and see not, ears and hear not, and those that make... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:11

I, even I, am the Lord ,.... Jehovah, the self-existing, eternal, and immutable Being; this is doubled for the confirmation of it, and to exclude all others: and besides me there is no Saviour ; either in a temporal or spiritual sense; the gods of the Heathens could not save them out of their present troubles, and much less save them with an everlasting salvation; none but God can do this, and this is a proof that Christ is God, since none but God can be a Saviour. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:8-11

Witnesses for God and against him. On the side of God, witnesses for him, assertors of his existence, his unity, his omnipotence, his providential direction of human affairs, are— II. HIS CHURCH IN ALL AGES , WHETHER JEWISH OR CHRISTIAN . 1 . It was the object of God, in calling the Israelites and tasking them his "peculiar people," to secure the result that he should not be "left without witness" ( Acts 14:17 ). Monotheists from the first, the children of Israel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:8-13

A RENEWED CHALLENGE TO THE NATIONS . The nations are once more challenged (comp. Isaiah 41:1 , Isaiah 41:21-26 ) to set forth the claims of their gods against those of Jehovah. Israel is summoned on the one hand ( Isaiah 43:8 ); the nations on the other ( Isaiah 43:9 ). What prophecy can the nations produce, either old or new? The Israelites can abundantly witness on behalf of Jehovah ( Isaiah 43:10 ). Jehovah adds a further witness of himself ( Isaiah 43:11-13 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:8-13

The great controversy. The challenge of Isaiah 41:1-29 . is renewed, and Jehovah's claims are contrasted with those of the false gods. I. ASSEMBLING OF THE NATIONS . Israel is first brought forth by the ministers of justice. The people were once blind and deaf, but now are in possession of their faculties. And then, over against this small company of the faithful, the vast host of the heathen appears. And the challenge is issued—What god of the nations can produce predictions... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:11

Beside me there is no saviour . None but God can save men. Man cannot make atonement for his fellows; "for it cost more to redeem their souls, so that he must let that alone for ever" ( Psalms 49:8 , Prayer-book Version). The human "saviours" whom God raises up to deliver his people out of the hand of their enemies ( 3:9 ; 2 Kings 13:5 ; Nehemiah 9:27 , etc.), are "saviours" in quite a secondary and inferior sense. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:11

I, even I, am the Lord - The repetition of the pronoun ‘I’ makes it emphatic. The design is, to affirm that there was no other being to whom the name ‘Yahweh’ pertained. There was no other one who had the attributes which the name involved; there was, therefore, no other God. On the meanins of the word Yahweh, see the note at Isaiah 1:2.And beside me there is no Saviour - There is no one who can deliver from oppression, and captivity, and exile, such as the Jews suffered in Babylon; there is no... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:11-13

Isaiah 43:11-13. Besides me there is no saviour None that can and does save his worshippers: wherein is implied, that the false gods were not only weak and unable to save those that trusted in them, but also were their destroyers, as being the great cause of their ruin. I have declared, and have saved I first foretold your deliverance, and then effected it. And l have showed, when there was no strange god, &c. Rather, I made it known; nor was it any strange god. So Bishop Lowth.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-28

Redemption through God’s grace (43:1-28)Despite Israel’s failure and subsequent punishment, God has not cast off his people for ever. God used the power of foreign nations to enslave them and bring sufferings and hardships upon them, but he will now destroy the power of those nations. He will make them pay the ransom price for the redemption of captive Israel. They will fall so that Israel can go free (43:1-4). Wherever the captives are, they are still God’s people, and he will bring them back... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:11-13

Isaiah 43:11-13. I, even I, am the Lord, &c.— I even I, &c. Isaiah 43:12. I have declared and saved, and foreshewed, and not any strange god among you [hath done so]; therefore, &c. The argument of this whole discourse is so consistent in all its parts, that nothing heterogeneous is mixed with it. God is here introduced, as in the discourses immediately following, determined to vindicate the truth of his essence and divinity against idolaters and unbelievers, and to call them from... read more
