This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
in righteousness - rather, “for a righteous purpose” [Lowth]. (See Isa 42:21). God “set forth” His Son “to be a propitiation (so as) to declare His (God’s) righteousness, that God might be just, and (yet) the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus” (Rom 3:25, Rom 3:26; compare see on Isa 41:2; Isa 45:13; Isa 50:8, Isa 50:9).
hold ... hand - compare as to Israel, the type of Messiah, Hos 11:3.
covenant - the medium of the covenant, originally made between God and Abraham (Isa 49:8). “The mediator of a better covenant” (Heb 8:6) than the law (see Isa 49:8; Jer 31:33; Jer 50:5). So the abstract “peace,” for peace-maker (Mic 5:5; Eph 2:14).
the people - Israel; as Isa 49:8, compared with Isa 42:6, proves (Luk 2:32).
