18. therefore —on account of your wicked perverseness ( Isaiah 30:1 ; Isaiah 30:2 ; Isaiah 30:9 ; Isaiah 30:15 ; Isaiah 30:16 ), Jehovah will delay to be gracious [HORSLEY]. Rather, wait or delay in punishing, to give you time for repentance ( Isaiah 30:13 ; Isaiah 30:14 ; Isaiah 30:17 ) [MAURER]. Or, "Yet therefore" (namely, because of the distress spoken of in the previous verses; that distress will lead the Jews to repentance, and so Jehovah will pity them) [GESENIUS]. be exalted —Men will have more elevated views of God's mercy; or else, "He will rise up to pity you" [G. V. SMITH]. Or (taking the previous clause as MAURER, " Therefore Jehovah will delay" in punishing you, " in order that He may be gracious to you, " if ye repent), He will be far removed from you (so in Isaiah 30:17- : , far above out sight ); that is, He will not immediately descend to punish, "in order that He may have mercy," c. judgment —justice faithfulness to His covenant. wait —compare Isaiah 30:17- : , wait, namely, for His times of having mercy. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-19" class="com-number"
