Isaiah 42:6
_ _ in righteousness — rather, “for a righteous purpose” [Lowth]. (See Isaiah 42:21). God “set forth” His Son “to be a propitiation (so as) to declare His (God’s) righteousness, that God might be just, and (yet) the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus” (Romans 3:25, Romans 3:26; compare see on Isaiah 41:2; Isaiah 45:13; Isaiah 50:8, Isaiah 50:9).
_ _ hold ... hand — compare as to Israel, the type of Messiah, Hosea 11:3.
_ _ covenant — the medium of the covenant, originally made between God and Abraham (Isaiah 49:8). “The mediator of a better covenant” (Hebrews 8:6) than the law (see Isaiah 49:8; Jeremiah 31:33; Jeremiah 50:5). So the abstract “peace,” for peace-maker (Micah 5:5; Ephesians 2:14).
_ _ the people — Israel; as Isaiah 49:8, compared with Isaiah 42:6, proves (Luke 2:32). |
Isaiah 42:6
Called thee — To declare my righteousness, or faithfulness. With — hold — Will give thee counsel and strength for the work. Give thee — To be the mediator in whom my covenant of grace is confirmed with mankind. The people — Of all people, not only of Jews but Gentiles. A light — To enlighten them with true and saving knowledge. |

(l) Meaning, to a lawful and just calling.
(m) To assist and guide you.
