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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 41:8-16

God’s Assurance of Success To His People, Weak Though They Are (Isaiah 41:8-16 ). Isaiah 41:8 “But you Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The seed of Abraham, the one who loved me.” He now declares Israel’s unique position. They are His chosen, but not because of what they themselves are, but because they are the seed of Abraham, the one who loved Him, the one who came from the east. They are His chosen ones in Abraham. They are begotten through Jacob. Thus do they enjoy the unique... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 41:11-16

Isaiah 41:11-Nehemiah : . All the Enemies of Israel shall Perish.— This section is eschatological, and probably later, perhaps much later, than its context. All Israel’ s foes shall perish. Yahweh’ s people shall destroy their enemies as a threshing-sledge so powerful that it tears in pieces the threshing-floor itself, and even the hill upon which— to catch the breezes— the floor is situated. Isaiah 41:14 . ye men o f: read, “ thou worm,” thus restoring the same pair of synonyms as in Isaiah... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 41:11

Shall be ashamed and confounded, both because their hopes and designs shall be utterly disappointed, and because the mischief which they contrived against thee shall fall upon themselves. Shall be as nothing; shall come to nothing, or perish, as the next clause explains it. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 41:12

Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them; they shall be so totally consumed, that although thou searchest for them, thou shalt not be able to find them any where in the world. Shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought; shall be utterly brought to nought. The thing is twice repeated, to show the certainty and greatness of their destruction. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 41:6-10

TWO KINDS OF HELPIsaiah 41:6. They helped every one his neighbour, &c.Isaiah 41:10. Fear not; I will help thee, &c.It is manifestly the intention of the prophet to exhibit the contrast between Israel and the heathen nations. In contemplating the promise of the 10th verse, we may be so absorbed by its boundless wealth, so amazed by its condescension, so cheered by its comfort, that we fail to notice the sombre background against which it is placed. There is help in both cases, but how... read more
