Isaiah 42:4
_ _ fail — faint; man in religion may become as the almost expiring flax-wick (Isaiah 42:3), but not so He in His purposes of grace.
_ _ discouraged — literally, “broken,” that is, checked in zeal by discouragements (compare Isaiah 49:4, Isaiah 49:5). Rosenmuller not so well translates, “He shall not be too slow on the one hand, nor run too hastily on the other.”
_ _ judgment — His true religion, the canon of His judgments and righteous reign.
_ _ isles ... wait, etc. — The distant lands beyond sea shall put their trust in His gospel way of salvation. Matthew 12:21 virtually gives the sense, with the inspired addition of another aspect of the same thing, “In his name shall the Gentiles trust” (as “wait for” here means, Isaiah 30:18). “His law” is not something distinct from Himself, but is indeed Himself, the manifestation of God’s character (“name”) in Christ, who is the embodiment of the law (Isaiah 42:21; Jeremiah 23:6; Romans 10:4). “Isles” here, and in Isaiah 42:12, may refer to the fact that the populations of which the Church was primarily formed were Gentiles of the countries bordering on the Mediterranean. |
Isaiah 42:4
'Till — 'Till he has established his law or doctrine, among the nations of the earth. Isles — The countries remote from Judea, shall gladly receive his doctrine. |

He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he hath (i) set judgment in the earth: and the (k) isles shall wait for his law.
