Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 42:21

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

21. his righteousness —not His people's, but His own; Isaiah 42:24 shows that they had no righteousness ( Isaiah 45:24 ; Isaiah 59:16 ). God is well pleased with His Son ("in whom My soul delighteth, " Isaiah 42:1 ), "who fulfils all righteousness " ( Isaiah 42:1- : ) for them, and with them for His sake (compare Isaiah 42:6 ; Psalms 71:16 ; Psalms 71:19 ; Matthew 5:17 ; Romans 10:3 ; Romans 10:4 ; Philippians 3:9 ). Perhaps in God's "righteousness" here is included His faithfulness to His promises given to Israel's forefathers [ROSENMULLER]; because of this He is well pleased with Israel, even though displeased with their sin, which He here reproves; but that promise could only be based on the righteousness of Messiah, the promised seed, which is God's righteousness. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-22" class="com-number"
