Isaiah 52:13 - Exposition

My Servant shall deal prudently ; rather, shall deal wisely; i.e. shall so act throughout his mission as to secure it the most complete success. "Wisdom is justified of her children," and of none so entirely justified as of him "in whom were all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hid away" ( Colossians 2:3 ). Exalted and extolled ; or, high and lifted up—the same expressions as are used of the Almighty in Isaiah 6:1 and Isaiah 57:15 . Even there, however, seems to the prophet ,rot enough; so he adds, "and exalted exceedingly" (comp. Isaiah 53:10-12 and Philippians 2:6-9 ).
