Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 45:11

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

11. Ask . . . command —Instead of striving with Me in regard to My purposes, your wisdom is in prayer to ask, and even command Me, in so far as it is for My glory, and for your real good ( Mark 11:24 ; John 16:23 ; John 16:13 , latter part of the verse; John 16:13- : ). sons — ( Isaiah 54:13 ; Galatians 3:26 ). work of my hands —spiritually ( Ephesians 2:10 ); also literal Israel ( Isaiah 60:21 ). MAURER translates, instead of "command," Leave it to Me, in My dealings concerning My sons and concerning the work of My hands, to do what I will with My own. LOWTH reads it interrogatively, Do ye presume to question Me and dictate to Me (see Isaiah 45:9 ; Isaiah 45:10 )? The same sense is given, if the words be taken in irony. But English Version is best. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
