Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 43:24

_ _ bought — for “sweet cane” (aromatic calamus) was not indigenous to Palestine, but had to be bought from foreign countries (Jeremiah 6:20). It was used among the Hebrews to make the sacred ointment (Exodus 30:23). It is often offered as a mark of hospitality.

_ _ filled — satiated (Jeremiah 31:14). God deigns to use human language to adapt Himself to human modes of thought.

_ _ made me to serve — though “I have not caused thee to serve” (Isaiah 43:23). Our sin made the Son of God to become “a servant.” He served to save us from servile bondage (Philippians 2:7; Hebrews 2:14, Hebrews 2:15).

_ _ wearied me — Though I have “not wearied thee” (Isaiah 43:23; see Isaiah 1:14).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 43:22-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 43:24

Sweet cane — This was used in the making of that precious ointment, Exodus 30:34, and for the incense, Exodus 30:7. Thou hast been niggardly in my service, when thou hast, spared for no cost in the service of thine idols. Nor filled me — Thou hast not multiplied thy thank — offerings and free — will offerings, tho' I have given thee sufficient occasion to do so. But — Thou hast made me to bear the load and burden of thy sins.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 43:24

Thou hast bought me no sweet (a) cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast (b) burdened me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.

(a) Either for the composition of the sweet ointment (Exodus 30:34), or for the sweet incense (Exodus 30:7).
