Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 64:5
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
5. meetest —that is, Thou makest peace, or enterest into covenant with him (see on :- ). rejoiceth and worketh —that is, who with joyful willingness worketh [GESENIUS] ( Acts 10:35 ; John 7:17 ). those —Thou meetest "those," in apposition to "him" who represents a class whose characteristics "those that," c., more fully describes. remember thee in thy ways — ( Isaiah 26:8 ). sinned —literally, "tripped," carrying on the figure in "ways." in those is continuance —a plea to deprecate the continuance of God's wrath it is not in Thy wrath that there is continuance ( Isaiah 54:7 ; Isaiah 54:8 ; Psalms 30:5 ; Psalms 103:9 ), but in Thy ways ("those"), namely, of covenant mercy to Thy people ( Micah 7:18-20 ; Malachi 3:6 ); on the strength of the everlasting continuance of His covenant they infer by faith, "we shall be saved." God "remembered" for them His covenant ( Malachi 3:6- : ), though they often "remembered not" Him ( Psalms 78:42 ). CASTELLIO translates, "we have sinned for long in them ('thy ways'), and could we then be saved?" But they hardly would use such a plea when their very object was to be saved. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
