Isaiah 49:9
_ _ (Isaiah 42:7; Zechariah 9:12).
_ _ prisoners — the Jews bound in legal bondage.
_ _ them ... in darkness — the Gentiles having no light as to the one true God [Vitringa].
_ _ Show yourselves — not only see but be seen (Matthew 5:16; Mark 5:19). Come forth from the darkness of your prison into the light of the Sun of righteousness.
_ _ in the ways, etc. — In a desert there are no “ways,” nor “high places,” with “pastures”; thus the sense is: “They shall have their pastures, not in deserts, but in cultivated and inhabited places.” Laying aside the figure, the churches of Christ at the first shall be gathered, not in obscure and unknown regions, but in the most populous parts of the Roman empire, Antioch, Alexandria, Rome, etc. [Vitringa]. Another sense probably is the right one. Israel, on its way back to the Holy Land, shall not have to turn aside to devious paths in search of necessaries, but shall find them in all places wherever their route lies; so Rosenmuller. God will supply them as if He should make the grass grow in the trodden ways and on the barren high places. |
Isaiah 49:9
Prisoners — To the Gentiles who are fast bound by the cords of their sins, and taken captive by the devil at his will. Go forth — Come forth to the light, receive divine illumination. In high places — They shall have abundant provision in all places, yea even in those which commonly are unfruitful, such are both common roads and high grounds. |
Isaiah 49:9
That thou mayest say to the (o) prisoners, Go forth; to them that [are] in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their (p) pastures [shall be] in all high places.
(o) To them who are in the prison of sin and death.
(p) Being in Christ's protection, they will be safe against all dangers, and free from fear of the enemies. |
