Isaiah 11:3
_ _ make him of quick understanding — literally, “quick-scented in the fear of Jehovah”; endowed with a singular sagacity in discerning the genuine principle of religious fear of God, when it lies dormant in the yet unawakened sinner (Matthew 12:20; Acts 10:1-48; Acts 16:14) [Horsley]. But Maurer, “He shall delight in the fear of God.” The Hebrew means “to delight in the odors” of anything (Exodus 30:38; Amos 5:21); “smell,” that is, “delight in.”
_ _ after ... sight — according to mere external appearances (John 7:24; John 8:15; James 2:1; 1 Samuel 16:7). Herein Messiah is represented a just Judge and Ruler (Deuteronomy 1:16, Deuteronomy 1:17).
_ _ reprove — “decide,” as the parallelism shows.
_ _ after ... ears — by mere plausible hearsays, but by the true merits of each case (John 6:64; Revelation 2:23). |
