Verse 9
9. who . . . can declare this—who among the idolatrous soothsayers hath predicted this; that is, as to Cyrus being the deliverer of Israel?
former—predictions, as in Isaiah 42:9 [MAURER]. Or, things that shall first come to pass (see on Isaiah 42:9- :) [BARNES].
let them bring forth their witnesses—as I do mine (Isaiah 42:9- :).
justified—declared veracious in their pretended prophecies.
or—rather, "and"; let men hear their prediction and say, from the event, It is verified (see on Isaiah 43:4).
