Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 41:12

41:12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not {l} find them, [even] them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of naught.(l) Because they will be destroyed. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 41:1-29

ISAIAH INTRODUCTION TO PART TWO The chapters of Part 2 (chaps. 40-46) are chiefly millennial, and so different from the prevailing themes preceding, as to raise a query whether they were not written by some other author a second, or deutero-Isaiah, as some call him. We do not hold that opinion, the reasons for which are briefly stated in the author’s Primers of the Faith. In Synthetic Bible Studies, it was found convenient to treat this part as a single discourse though doubtless, such is not... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 41:1-29

Isaiah 41:0 1. Keep silence before me, O islands [a word which always signifies far-off lands, sea-coasts distant as the horizon]; and let the people renew their strength [pull themselves together, gird up their loins, that they may wrestle with almightiness]: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment [let us wrestle together, let us enter into this controversy: the tone is that of a challenge, a contemptuous defiance]. 2. Who raised up the righteous man... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 41:10-20

10-20 God speaks with tenderness; Fear thou not, for I am with thee: not only within call, but present with thee. Art thou weak? I will strengthen thee. Art thou in want of friends? I will help thee in the time of need. Art thou ready to fall? I will uphold thee with that right hand which is full of righteousness, dealing forth rewards and punishments. There are those that strive with God's people, that seek their ruin. Let not God's people render evil for evil, but wait God's time. It is the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 41:8-20

The Lord's Promise of a Future Victory v. 8. But thou, Israel, art My servant, as Jehovah, in a section replete with love and consolation, assures His children, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham, My friend, His servants, the people of His covenant, of old, especially the spiritual descendants of him who had the honor of being known as the friend of God. v. 9. Thou, whom I have taken from the ends of the earth and called thee from the chief men thereof, from its most remote... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 41:1-16

the Lord Upholdeth His Servant Isaiah 41:1-16 The conception of this passage is superb. Jehovah is represented as summoning the earth to determine whether He or some idol of the heathen is the true God, Isaiah 41:7 . Also see Isaiah 41:23 . The test proposed is a simple one! Which can most precisely predict the future? Not, as in Elijah’s case, is the appeal made to fire, but to the fitting of prophecy with historical fulfillment. See Isaiah 41:22-23 . While this great arbitration is in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 41:1-29

Having thus announced the majesty of Jehovah, the prophet proceeds to utter his general manifesto. This occupies chapters forty-one and forty-two. In chapter forty-one Jehovah challenges the island and the people to come near to judgment, that is, to consider what He has to say. He declares that He, and He alone has raised up the one from the East whose progress is victorious. The confederacy of the people against Cyrus is described, and then the prophet declares Jehovah's purpose of peace for... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 41:8-15

The God of All Help Isaiah 41:8-15 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Book of Isaiah is one that lives with us in every daily task and conflict. Sometimes we think that the Old Testament Scriptures are far separated from our needs, and that they have very little in common with twentieth century life. This, however, is altogether erroneous. People of all ages and all climes meet the same needs, have more or less the same environments, and have the same task from God. Isaiah 41:1-29 displays God as a... read more
