Isaiah 43:22

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:1-28

Following the manifesto, we have in the next three chapters a series of messages of Jehovah. The first declares His perpetual purpose for His people. His constant attitude of love is affirmed in promises which gain their force from the fact that they glance back at past deliverances. Passing through waters, and through rivers, walking through fire, they are to be safe, for they have been safe in such conditions. Then deliverance is definitely promised, in which the north must give up, and the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:22-28

But God’s People Have Failed To Be His True People And Must First Face Cursing And Revilement (Isaiah 43:22-28 ). However, while there is the glorious vision of this future true people of God, Isaiah has not forgotten the present state of Israel. He was under no illusions about that. Indeed God had warned him what they would be like (Isaiah 6:9-11). Jacob was in a dreadful state even in spite of all God’s offers of forgiveness. Israel was not walking in the way. These verses must be read with... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:22-28

Isaiah 43:22 to Isaiah 44:5 . Yahweh’ s Intervention, not Purchased by His People but Entirely of His Grace, shall Bring New Life to Israel.— It is not that during the exile Israel has assiduously sought Yahweh’ s aid by prayer and sacrifice. Nor has He exacted gifts and incense. So far from requiring them to buy sweet-scented cane to make fragrant their choice sacrifices, He has been compelled to do service for them, in saving them from the consequences of their sins. (Of His grace He will... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:22

But; or, for, as this conjunction is oft used. So this may be added as a reason why God called the Gentiles to be his people, because the Jews forsook him. Thou hast not called upon me; thou hast grossly neglected or very slightly performed the duties of my worship. Thou hast been weary of me; thou hast not esteemed my service to be a privilege, as in truth it is, but as a burden and bondage. Compare Malachi 1:13. read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:22

Isaiah 43:22 I. The nature of this evil. To be weary of God is to desire to break the connection that exists between us and God. It is to be impatient of continued connection with Him; to be tired of calling upon Him; tired of thinking of Him; tired of trusting Him; tired of waiting for Him; tired of serving Him. II. The nature of this weariness will appear further if you look for a moment at the forms in which it is shown. (1) This weariness is first shown by formality in Divine worship, (2)... read more

DISCOURSE: 934THE GREATNESS OF GOD’S MERCYIsaiah 43:22-26. Thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt-offering; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-28

But yet, God is going to restore them. Chapter 43 gets in the restoration.But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, and the Holy One... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:1-28

Isaiah 43:1 . The Lord that created thee, oh Jacob. Not only in the first creation, but when Sarah, and when Rebecca were barren, I gave them power to become mothers. I have also created and formed thee into a nation; thy disobedience therefore is left without excuse. Isaiah 43:3 . I gave Egypt for thy ransom. Those nations were nearly destroyed, in order to effect the emancipation of Israel. God most remarkably diverted the Assyrian invasion from Judea to an attack upon Egypt. Isaiah... read more

Isaiah 43:22But thou hast not called upon Me, O JacobInsincerity in religionIt is a common observation that there is very little sincerity in the world.We are now concerned with insincerity of a deeper and more serious character,--insincerity in religion. I propose to offer some remarks which may serve to detect a mere formal profession of religion. The subject on which I shall chiefly remark is the habit and enjoyment of secret prayer. I. MANY HAVE CONTINUED FOR A WHILE IN HABITS OF SECRET... read more

Isa 43:22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. Ver. 22. But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob. ] During the captivity they prayed not to any purpose, as Daniel also acknowledgeth: Isa 9:13 "All this evil is come upon us, yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand thy truth." Nevertheless, of his free grace, God brought them back again. But thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. ]... read more
