Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 51:11

(11) Therefore the redeemed.—Note worthy as being either a quotation by Isaiah from himself (Isaiah 35:10), or by the unknown writer of Isaiah from the earlier prophet. The assumption that it is an interpolation by a copyist rests on no adequate ground. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 51:1-23

The Pentateuch Genesis Isaiah 51:1-2 Today we begin to examine the early books of the Old Testament. The first five books stand together by themselves. Sometimes they are called the Pentateuch, which means only 'the book of five volumes '. First we must attend to the place which these five books hold in the history of the Jews. Speaking roughly, we may say that they tell us the beginning of the Jewish people. The early steps and stages by which they become a people. I. We see at the beginning... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 51:1-23

THE MESSIAH REVEALED The thirty-two chapters deal particularly with the Person and work of the Messiah. Isaiah has sometimes been called the evangelical prophet because of the large space he gives to that subject a circumstance the more notable because of the silence concerning it since Moses. The explanation of this silence is hinted at in the lesson on the introduction to the prophets. In chapter 49, the Messiah speaks of Himself and the failure of His mission in His rejection by His... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 51:9-11

This precious portion seems to be as in answer to what had been said before. The Lord had been giving exceeding great and precious promises to his people, and now his people, as with one voice, makes the Lord a thankful answer, in prayer and praise, that God would do so. It is the language of strong faith, offered up in Christ Jesus. For the arm of the Lord is Christ, Deuteronomy 7:19 ; hence, when the Prophet complains of the little success of preaching of the gospel, he calls it the arm of... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 51:9-16

9-16 The people whom Christ has redeemed with his blood, as well as by his power, will obtain joyful deliverance from every enemy. He that designs such joy for us at last, will he not work such deliverance in the mean time, as our cases require? In this world of changes, it is a short step from joy to sorrow, but in that world, sorrow shall never come in view. They prayed for the display of God's power; he answers them with consolations of his grace. Did we dread to sin against God, we should... read more

The Certainty of Deliverance v. 1. Hearken unto Me, ye that follow after righteousness, earnestly seeking to obtain it, ye that seek the Lord, in true repentance over their sins, as yet not daring to show a happy faith; look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, namely, Abraham, before the promise of the Lord regarding the birth of Isaac was fulfilled, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged, this cistern of the rock being Sarah, as the context shows. The nation of Israel was called... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 51:1-11

“Awake, O Arm of Jehovah!” Isaiah 51:1-11 This chapter is extremely dramatic. We are conscious that we are nearing a revelation of unparalleled sublimity. As we hear the thrice Hearken in Isaiah 1:1-8 , and the thrice Awake , Isaiah 51:9 , which follows, we realize that we are traversing the entrance portico of a noble temple. When God says, Hearken , it is for us to ask Him to fulfill- Awake ! Recall the loneliness of Abraham. “He was but one!” Terah died, Lot dropped away, Hagar was... read more
