Isaiah 44:21 - Exposition

Remember these ; rather, remember these things ; i.e. the futility of idols and the folly of the idol-worshippers. For thou art my servant. Therefore bound to worship me, and not the idols (comp. Isaiah 41:8 ; Isaiah 41:1 , Isaiah 41:2 ). I have formed thee (so also in Isaiah 43:1 , Isaiah 43:21 ; Isaiah 43:2 , Isaiah 43:24 ). The duty of absolute unquestioning obedience seems contained in the relation of that which is formed to that which has formed it. On the other hand, it may be assumed that he who has formed a thing will have a constant care of it and regard for it—that at any rate he will not "forget" it.
