Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 53:6
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
6. Penitent confession of believers and of Israel in the last days ( :- ). sheep . . . astray — ( Psalms 119:176 ; 1 Peter 2:25 ). The antithesis is, "In ourselves we were scattered; in Christ we are collected together; by nature we wander, driven headlong to destruction; in Christ we find the way to the gate of life" [CALVIN]. True, also, literally of Israel before its coming restoration ( Ezekiel 34:5 ; Ezekiel 34:6 ; Zechariah 10:2 ; Zechariah 10:6 ; compare with Ezekiel 34:23 ; Ezekiel 34:24 ; Jeremiah 23:4 ; Jeremiah 23:5 ; also Jeremiah 23:5- : ). laid —" hath made to light on Him" [LOWTH]. Rather, "hath made to rush upon Him" [MAURER]. the iniquity —that is, its penalty; or rather, as in Jeremiah 23:5- : ; He was not merely a sin offering (which would destroy the antithesis to "righteousness"), but "sin for us"; sin itself vicariously; the representative of the aggregate sin of all mankind; not sins in the plural, for the "sin" of the world is one ( Romans 5:16 ; Romans 5:17 ); thus we are made not merely righteous, but righteousness, even "the righteousness of God. " The innocent was punished as if guilty, that the guilty might be rewarded as if innocent. This verse could be said of no mere martyr. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
