This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_56:2 Blessed [is] the man [that] doeth this, and the son of man [that] layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Ver. 2. Blessed is the man that doeth this.] And by it lays hold on that - i.e., that performeth the duties of both tables, of piety and of charity; that maketh conscience of keeping the Sabbath especially. The Fourth Commandment standeth fitly in the heart of the Decalogue, and between the two tables of the law, as having an influence into both.
From polluting it.] Either by corporal labour or spiritual idleness: spending the holy time holily.
And keepeth his hand from doing any evil.] That is, righteous as well as religious: not yielding his members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. {Rom_6:13}
