Isaiah 42:19
_ _ my servant — namely, Israel. Who of the heathen is so blind? Considering Israel’s high privileges, the heathen’s blindness was as nothing compared with that of Israelite idolaters.
_ _ my messenger ... sent — Israel was designed by God to be the herald of His truth to other nations.
_ _ perfect — furnished with institutions, civil and religious, suited to their perfect well-being. Compare the title, “Jeshurun,” the perfect one, applied to Israel (compare Isaiah 44:2), as the type of Messiah [Vitringa]. Or translate, the friend of God, which Israel was by virtue of descent from Abraham, who was so called (Isaiah 41:8), [Gesenius]. The language, “my servant” (compare Isaiah 42:1), “messenger” (Malachi 3:1), “perfect” (Romans 10:4; Hebrews 2:10; 1 Peter 2:22), can, in the full antitypical sense, only apply to Christ. So Isaiah 42:21 plainly refers to Him. “Blind” and “deaf” in His case refer to His endurance of suffering and reproach, as though He neither saw nor heard (Psalms 38:13, Psalms 38:14). Thus there is a transition by contrast from the moral blindness of Israel (Isaiah 42:18) to the patient blindness and deafness of Messiah [Horsley]. |
Isaiah 42:19
My servant — The Jews, who will not receive their, Messiah. Messenger — My messengers, the singular number being put for the plural, namely the priests and other teachers whom I have appointed to instruct my people. The Lord's servant — As the most eminent teachers and rulers of the Jews, who were called and obliged to be the Lord's servants, in a special manner. |
Isaiah 42:19
Who [is] blind, but my (u) servant? or deaf, as my (x) messenger [that] I sent? who [is] blind as [he that is] (y) perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
(u) That is, Israel, which would have most light because of my Law.
(x) The priest to whom my word is committed, who would not only hear it himself but cause others to hear it.
(y) As the priests and prophets that would be lights to others? |
