This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa 41:1-29. Additional reasons why the Jews should place confidence in God’s promises of delivering them; He will raise up a Prince as their deliverer, whereas the idols could not deliver the heathen nations from that Prince.
(Zec 2:13). God is about to argue the case; therefore let the nations listen in reverential silence. Compare Gen 28:16, Gen 28:17, as to the spirit in which we ought to behave before God.
before me - rather (turning), “towards me” [Maurer].
islands - including all regions beyond sea (Jer 25:22), maritime regions, not merely isles in the strict sense.
renew ... strength - Let them gather their strength for the argument; let them adduce their strongest arguments (compare Isa 1:18; Job 9:32). “Judgment” means here, to decide the point at issue between us.
