Isaiah 50:7-10, Hebrews 13:6 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 50:4-9

Our Lord Jesus, having proved himself able to save, here shows himself as willing as he is able to save, here shows himself as willing as he is able. We suppose the prophet Isaiah to say something of himself in these verses, engaging and encouraging himself to go on in his work as a prophet, notwithstanding the many hardships he met with, not doubting but that God would stand by him and strengthen him; but, like David, he speaks of himself as a type of Christ, who is here prophesied of and... read more

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 Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 50:7

For the Lord God will help me ,.... As he promised he would, and did, Psalm 89:21 , which is no contradiction to the deity of Christ, nor any suggestion of weakness in him; for he is the true God, and has all divine perfections in him; is equal to his Father in power, as well as in glory, and therefore equal to the work of redemption, as his other works show him to be; but this is to be understood of him as man, and expresses his strong faith and confidence in God, and in his promises as... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 50:8

He is near that justifieth me ,.... His Father was "near" him in his whole state of humiliation; he left him not alone; he was at his right hand, and therefore he was not moved; and "justified" him from all the calumnies of his enemies, or the false charges they brought against him, and from all the sins of his people that were upon him; these he took upon him, and bore them, and made satisfaction for them, upon which he was acquitted; and which is evident by his resurrection from the dead,... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 50:9

Behold, the Lord God will help me ,.... This is repeated from Isa 50:7; see Gill on Isaiah 50:7 ; to show the certainty of it, the strength of his faith in it, and to discourage his enemies: who is he that shall condemn me ? make me out a wicked person F3 מי הוא ירשיעני "quis ipse impium faciet me", Pagninus, Montanus; "impium vel praevaricatorem et iniquum faciet me", Vatablus. , prove me guilty, and pass sentence upon me, when thus acquitted and justified by the Lord God?... read more

John Gill

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 50:7

Therefore have I set my face like a flint - The Prophet Ezekiel, Ezekiel 2:8 , Ezekiel 2:9 , has expressed this with great force in his bold and vehement manner: "Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, And thy forehead strong against their foreheads: As an adamant, harder than a rock, have I made thy forehead; Fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, Though they be a rebellious house." read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 50:8

Who will contend with me - The Bodleian MS. and another add the word הוא hu ; יריב הוא מי mi hu yarib , as in the like phrase in the next verse; and in the very same phrase Job 13:19 , and so likewise in many other places, Job 17:3 ; Job 41:1 . Sometimes on the like occasions it is זה מי mi zeh , and זה הוא מי mi hu zeh , "Who is this one?" The word has probably been lost out of the present text; and the reading of the MSS. above mentioned seems to be genuine. read more

Adam Clarke

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
