Isaiah 29:22 - Exposition

The Lord, who redeemed Abraham ; rather, who delivered Abraham , as the verb used is often rendered (see Job 33:28 ; Psalms 51:18 ; Psalms 69:18 ; Psalms 78:42 , etc.). God's directions to Abraham to remove from a land of idolaters ( Joshua 24:2 , Joshua 24:3 ; Acts 7:2 , Acts 7:3 ) were practically a "deliverance." The work thus commenced could not be suffered to remain incomplete. Israel—the true Israel— would not be ashamed , or wax pale through fear any more; they would be God's children, his true worshippers, and would have no need to experience either fear or shame.
