This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_44:2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, [which] will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
Ver. 2. Thus saith the Lord that made thee.] See on Isa_43:1; Isa_43:7; Isa_43:21, and observe how this chapter runneth parallel with the former; yea, how the prophet, from Isa_40:1-31 to Isa_66:1-24, doth one and the same thing almost, labouring to comfort his people against the Babylonian captivity, and to arm them against the sin of idolatry, whereunto, as of themselves they were overly prone, so they should be sure to be strongly tempted among those idolaters.
And thou, Jeshurun.] Thou who art upright or righteous, with a twofold righteousness, viz., imputed and imparted. The Septuagint renders it Dilecte or Dilectule, my dearly beloved.
