This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rom 9:28. Λόγον) a thing heard, and therefore spoken, Isa 28:22.-συντελῶν και συντέμνων) supply, as is often necessary in Hebrew, the word is, comp. Act 24:5; 2Pe 1:17; Heb. כלה ונהרצה and כליון הרוע. The Lord συντελεῖ, will consummate His λόγον word [decree] concerning Israel, in respect to the appointed [fixed] punishment (so that it becomes כלה, consummated, completed); and at the same time συντέμνει λόγον, cuts short His word, in respect to the termination [will make a speedy termination] of the punishment (so that נחרצה becomes כלה, this decree becomes consummated). The word Lord is to be supplied from the following clause; and the owrd συντελῶν may be taken either as the subject, or rather, since the article is wanting, as a part of the predicate [the Lord is about to consummate, etc.]-ἐν δικαιοσὑνη, שוטף צדקה. Isa 10:22.
