Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 59:14

Justice standeth afar off - צדקה tsedakah , righteousness, put here, says Kimchi, for alms to the poor. This casts some light on Matthew 6:1 ; : "Take heed that you do not your alms," ελεημοσυνην . But the best copies have δικαιοσυνην , righteousness; the former having been inserted in the text at first merely as the explanation of the genuine and original word. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 59:15

And the Lord saw it "And Jehovah saw it" - This third line of the stanza appears manifestly to me to be imperfect by the loss of a phrase. The reader will perhaps more perfectly conceive my idea of the matter if I endeavor to supply the supposed defect, I imagine it might have stood originally in this manner: - לו ויחר יהוה וירא lo veyachar Yehovah vaiyar משפט אין כי בעיניו וירע mishpat ein ki beeyinaiv veyera "And Jehovah saw it, and he was wroth; ... read more

And wondered that there was no intercessor - This and the following verses some of the most eminent rabbins understand as spoken of the Messiah. Kimchi says that Rabbi Joshua ben Levi proposes this objection: "It is written, 'Behold, he will come in the clouds of heaven as the son of man,' Daniel 7:13 ; and elsewhere it is written, 'He cometh lowly, and riding upon an ass,' Zechariah 9:9 . How can these texts be reconciled? Thus: If the Jews have merit, he will come unto them in the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 59:17

For clothing "For his clothing" - תלבשת tilbosheth . "I cannot but think that this word, תלבשת tilbosheth , is an interpolation. It is in no one ancient version. It is redundant in the sense, as it is before expressed in בגדי bigdey . It makes the hemistich just so much longer than it ought to be, if it is compared with the others adjoining. It makes a form of construction in this clause less elegant than that in the others. It might probably be in some margin a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 59:1-15

The separation of the soul from God. Why in the hour of need is there no deliverance? Why are prayers for aid unanswered? A theory might obtain, or an objection might be raised, that Divine power was not sufficient, that the Divine sensibility was dulled. And yet this cannot be. The simplest knowledge of what God is must contradict an assumption so foolish. There must be another explanation; and that, the conscience says, is to be found on the human side of the relation. I. THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 59:9-15

ISRAEL HUMBLY CONFESSES ITS SIN 'S TO GOD . Isaiah, anxious to bring the people to confession and amendment, makes humble confession in their name, joining himself with them, as if he had been a participator in their iniquities. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 59:11

We roar all like bears ; rather, we growl. The verb is used commonly of the "roaring" of the sea ( Isaiah 17:12 ; Isaiah 51:15 ; Jeremiah 6:23 ; Jeremiah 31:1-40 :45; Jeremiah 50:42 ; Jeremiah 51:55 ); but is applied also to the noise made by a dog ( Psalms 59:6 , Psalms 59:14 ). Here it represents the deep murmur of discontent, which alternates with the mournful tones of Israel's despondency—the latter being compared to the melancholy cooing of the dove (see Isaiah 38:14 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 59:12

Our transgressions are multiplied before thee ; i.e. they are very numerous; and they come "before God," so as to attract his attention and call for his animadversion. Our sins testify against us; i.e. "rise up against us as witnesses, whose evidence we cannot disprove, and have not even the face to dispute." Our transgressions are with us —i.e. "constantly haunt us"—and as for our iniquities, we know them; i.e. we are aware of them, we acknowledge them, we have them continually in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 59:13

An enumeration of special sins. First, sins of the heart. Transgressing and lying against the Lord ; or rather, treason and unfaithfulness to Jehovah (Cheyne); followed by departing away from God, or the secret act of apostasy. Next, sins of the tongue: Speaking oppression and revolt; or, oppression and wrong— the "wrong," probably, of false accusation (comp. Deuteronomy 19:16 ); and, lastly, conceiving and uttering · words of falsehood generally. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 59:14

Judgment is turned away backward . In conclusion, the crying sin of perversion of justice is admitted with much amplification. (1) Right judgment is exactly inverted—the innocent are condemned, the guilty acquitted. read more
