Isaiah 42:21
_ _ his righteousness — not His people’s, but His own; Isaiah 42:24 shows that they had no righteousness (Isaiah 45:24; Isaiah 59:16). God is well pleased with His Son (“in whom My soul delighteth,” Isaiah 42:1), “who fulfils all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15) for them, and with them for His sake (compare Isaiah 42:6; Psalms 71:16, Psalms 71:19; Matthew 5:17; Romans 10:3, Romans 10:4; Philippians 3:9). Perhaps in God’s “righteousness” here is included His faithfulness to His promises given to Israel’s forefathers [Rosenmuller]; because of this He is well pleased with Israel, even though displeased with their sin, which He here reproves; but that promise could only be based on the righteousness of Messiah, the promised seed, which is God’s righteousness. |
Isaiah 42:21
Well pleased — Altho' God might justly destroy thee suddenly, yet he will patiently wait for thy repentance, that he may be gracious; and that not for thy sake, but for the glory of his own faithfulness, in fulfilling that covenant, which he made with thy pious progenitors. Magnify — He will maintain the honour of his law, and therefore is not forward to destroy you, who profess the true religion, lest his law should upon that occasion be exposed to contempt. |
