This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa 49:1-26. Similar to chapter 42:1-7 (Isa 49:1-9).
Messiah, as the ideal Israel (Isa 49:3), states the object of His mission, His want of success for a time, yet His certainty of ultimate success.
O isles - Messiah is here regarded as having been rejected by the Jews (Isa 49:4, Isa 49:5), and as now turning to the Gentiles, to whom the Father hath given Him “for a light and salvation.” “Isles” mean all regions beyond sea.
from the womb - (Isa 44:2; Luk 1:31; Joh 10:36).
from ... bowels ... mention of my name - His name “Jesus” (that is, God-Savior) was designated by God before His birth (Mat 1:21).
