This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.
Ver. 6. And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times.] Thy times, O Hezekiah; but especially, O Christ. Or, the stability of thy times and strong safeguard shall thy wisdom and knowledge be. "By his knowledge" - that is, by faith in him - "shall my righteous servant" (Jesus Christ) "justify many"; {Isa_53:11} but these are also sanctified by him. The fear of the Lord is their treasure; they "hold faith and a good conscience, which some, having put away, concerning faith, have made shipwreck." {1Ti_1:19} {See Trapp on "1Ti_1:19"}
The fear of the Lord is his treasure.] The spirit of this holy fear rested upon Christ, {Isa_11:2} and good Hezekiah was eminent for it, not for civil prudence only. This was flos regis, the fairest flower in all his garland; this is solidissima regiae politiae basis, as one {a} saith, the best policy, and the way to wealth.
{a} Paradin. in Symbol.
