This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_44:1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
Ver. 1. Yet now hear.] Hear a word of comfort after so terrible a thunder crack. {Isa_43:28} But there it is bare "Jacob" and "Israel" who are threatened; here it is "Jacob my servant," and "Israel whom I have chosen"; it is "Jeshurun," or the "righteous nation," who are comforted. And because we forget nothing so soon as the consolations of God, as is to be seen in Christ’s disciples, and those believing Hebrews; {Isa_12:5} therefore doth the prophet so oft repeat and inculcate them, like as men use to rub and chafe in ointments into the flesh, that they may enter and give ease.
