Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-7

This chapter has a plain connexion with the close of the foregoing chapter, but a very surprising one. It was there said that Jacob and Israel would not walk in God's ways, and that when he corrected them for their disobedience they were stubborn and laid it not to heart; and now one would think it should have followed that God would utterly abandon and destroy them; but no, the next words are, But now, fear not, O Jacob! O Israel! I have redeemed thee, and thou art mine. Though many among... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 43:8-13

God here challenges the worshippers of idols to produce such proofs of the divinity of their false gods as even this very instance (to go no further) of the redemption of the Jews out of Babylon furnished the people of Israel with, to prove that their God is the true and living God, and he only. I. The patrons of idolatry are here called to appear, and say what they have to say in defence of their idols, Isa. 43:8, 9. Their gods have eyes and see not, ears and hear not, and those that make... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 43:14-21

To so low an ebb were the faith and hope of God's people in Babylon brought that there needed line upon line to assure them that they should be released out of their captivity; and therefore, that they might have strong consolation, the assurances of it are often repeated, and here very expressly and encouragingly. I. God here takes to himself such titles of his honour as were very encouraging to them. He is the Lord their Redeemer, not only he will redeem them, but will take it upon him as... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 43:22-28

This charge (and a high charge it is which is here exhibited against Jacob and Israel, God's professing people) comes in here, 1. To clear God's justice in bringing them into captivity, and to vindicate that. Were they not in covenant with him? Had they not his sanctuary among them? Why then did the Lord deal thus with his land? Deut. 29:24. Here is a good reason given: they had neglected God and had cast him off, and therefore he justly rejected them and gave them to the curse (Isa. 43:28);... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:5

Fear not, for I am with thee ,.... With thy ministers that preach the everlasting Gospel, to make it effectual to the conversion of many everywhere, as well as to bear thee up under all trials, and to cause thee to stand against all opposition: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west ; which is to be understood not literally of the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity; for these several quarters, east, west, north, and south, will hardly agree with... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:6

I will say to the north, give up: and to the south, keep not back ,.... That is, give up, and not retain, those that belong to the Lord; here the winds are spoken to by a personification; or the inhabitants of the northern and southern climates are called upon to deliver up the Lord's people to him, for whose sake the Gospel was sent into these parts, to find them out, and bring them home; by the "north" may be meant the Goths, Swedes, Muscovites, and those northern isles of ours, with... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:7

Even everyone that is called by my name ,.... That is called by the name of God, a son or daughter of his; or by the name of Christ, a Christian; whoever belongs to the Lord, whom he calls by his name; and who, being called by his grace, call upon his name, make a profession of his name, and serve and worship him: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him, yea, I have made him ; all which is expressive of the power and grace of God, in the regeneration and conversion of his... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:8

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears ,.... The Targum applies this to the bringing of the people of Israel out of Egypt; and others understand it of their deliverance from the Babylonish captivity; and some of the exclusion of them from the kingdom of heaven, and casting them into outward darkness, according to Matthew 8:12 , but it is rather to be understood of the conviction of them; though better of the Gentiles, and of the enlightening of them, who... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:9

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled ,.... In one place, if it could be, in an open court of judicature; that their whole strength might be united together, and the most cogent arguments any of them are able to produce might be brought out; and that all might have an opportunity of hearing the cause fairly argued, and the point decided, and judge for themselves on which side truth lies: who among them can declare this, and show us former things ? what... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:10

Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord ,.... The people of Israel, who could testify that the Lord had foretold their affliction in Egypt, their coming from thence, and settling in the land of Canaan, many hundreds of years before they came to pass, and which were exactly fulfilled; and so the apostles of Christ, and ministers of the word, and all Christian people in all nations, are witnesses of the prophecies concerning Christ, his birth, miracles, obedience, sufferings, death, resurrection,... read more
