This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I - Messiah.
no man - willing to believe in and obey Me (Isa 52:1, Isa 52:3). The same Divine Person had “come” by His prophets in the Old Testament (appealing to them, but in vain, Jer 7:25, Jer 7:26), who was about to come under the New Testament.
hand shortened - the Oriental emblem of weakness, as the long stretched-out hand is of power (Isa 59:1). Notwithstanding your sins, I can still “redeem” you from your bondage and dispersion.
dry up ... sea - (Exo 14:21). The second exodus shall exceed, while it resembles in wonders, the first (Isa 11:11, Isa 11:15; Isa 51:15).
make ... rivers ... wilderness - turn the prosperity of Israel’s foes into adversity.
fish stinketh - the very judgment inflicted on their Egyptian enemies at the first exodus (Exo 7:18, Exo 7:21).
