This Chapter Verse Commentaries:



Isa_58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

Ver. 8. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning.] He saith not "shall appear," but "shall break forth," ut velocitatem et copiam dantis exprimeret, saith Chrysostom, that he might express the swiftness and bountifulness of God the giver of it.



And thy health shall spring forth speedily.] "The Sun of righteousness shall arise unto thee with healing under his wings." {Mal_4:2} {See Trapp on "Mal_4:2"}



And thy righteousness shall go before thee.] Thou shalt have the comfort and credit of thy bounty and charity, which is oft called "righteousness," as in Psa_112:9 Dan_4:24 Act_10:35.



And the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward,] i.e., The glorious Jehovah shall see to thy safety. See Psa_27:10. {See Trapp on "Pro_27:10"} See also Isa_52:12.
