Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 59:16

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

16. no man —namely, to atone by his righteousness for the unrighteousness of the people. "Man" is emphatic, as in 1 Kings 2:2 ; no representative man able to retrieve the cause of fallen men ( Isaiah 41:28 ; Isaiah 63:5 ; Isaiah 63:6 ; Jeremiah 5:1 ; Ezekiel 22:30 ). no intercessor —no one to interpose, "to help . . . uphold" ( Ezekiel 22:30- : ). his arm — ( Isaiah 40:10 ; Isaiah 51:5 ). Not man's arm, but His alone ( Psalms 98:1 ; Psalms 44:3 ). his righteousness —the "arm" of Messiah. He won the victory for us, not by mere might as God, but by His invincible righteousness, as man having "the Spirit without measure" ( Isaiah 11:5 ; Isaiah 42:6 ; Isaiah 42:21 ; Isaiah 51:8 ; Isaiah 53:11 ; 1 John 2:1 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"
