Isaiah 50:10

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 50:10-11

The prophet, having the tongue of the learned given him, that he might give to every one his portion, here makes use of it, rightly dividing the word of truth. It is the summary of the gospel. He that believes shall be saved (he that trusts in the name of the Lord shall be comforted, though for a while he walk in darkness and have no light), but he that believes not shall be damned; though for a while he walk in the light of his own fire, yet he shall lie down in sorrow. I. Comfort is here... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 50:10

Who is among you that feareth the Lord ?.... Not with a slavish fear of the awful majesty of God, or of his tremendous judgments, or of wrath to come, but with a filial fear, a fear of the Lord, and his goodness, which is an internal principle in the heart, a reverential affection for God, a godly fear of him; is attended with faith in him, and joy of him; which makes holy, and keeps humble, and takes in the whole worship of God: of men of this character there are but few, and especially... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 50:10

That obeyeth the voice of his servant "Let him hearken unto the voice of his servant" - For שמע shomea , pointed as the participle, the Septuagint and Syriac read ישמע yishma , future or imperative. This gives a much more elegant turn and distribution to the sentence. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:5-10

Signs of faithful service. Whether this is intended to point to the Person and work of the Messiah, or to that of some living prophet, it treats of the faithful servant of God; it is applicable to any one among us "that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant" ( Isaiah 50:10 ). We find here marks of fidelity in holy service. I. COMING INTO THE SHADOW OF PERSECUTION . In doing this the faithful one: 1 . Follows in the train of the noblest men of ancient... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:10

That obeyeth the voice of his servant ; that is, of "his servant" for the time being, whether Isaiah, or Jeremiah, or " the Servant" κατ ̓ ἐξοχήν That walketh in darkness . Not clearly seeing his way or knowing what his duty is, and so inclined to despond and doubt. Every such person is bidden to put aside his doubts, and trust wholly in the Name of the Lord, and stay upon his God . Hence light will shine in upon him, and his doubts will be resolved, and sufficient light will be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:10

A searching query. "Who is among you," etc.? What wonderful discrimination of character there is in Scripture! It is "a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." And it is ever associated with the Divine remedies. Go to a physician, and you often fear the worst. That never is so with the great Physician. Beautiful idea of trust! We cannot force either conviction or feeling. 1 . The position described. 2 . The remedy proposed. I. THE POSITION DESCRIBED .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:10

Counsel for those who walk in the dark. "Let him trust in the Name of the Lord, and stay upon his God." Christians " walk in darkness when their evidences for heaven are clouded, their joy in God is interrupted, the testimony of the Spirit is suspended, and the light of God's countenance is eclipsed." The first reference of this passage is to the anxieties of the latter part of Hezekiah's reign, when national dangers were great, and many political parties existed, one recommending one... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 50:10-11

AN ADDRESS OF JEHOVAH TO HIS CHURCH . Some suppose that the Church of Hezekiah's reign is addressed; others the exiles towards the close of the Captivity period. The first verse is an exhortation, encouraging those who fear God, but have insufficient light, to trust in him. The second threatens such as "kindle fire," or cause strife, with retribution. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 50:10

Who is among you that feareth the Lord? - This whole prophecy is concluded with an address made in this verse to the friends of God, and in the next to his enemies. It is the language of the Messiah, calling on the one class to put their trust in Yahweh, and threatening the other with displeasure and wrath. The exhortation in this verse is made in view of what is said in the previous verses. It is the entreaty of the Redeemer to all who love and fear God, and who may be placed in circumstances... read more
