Isaiah 59:15
_ _ faileth — is not to be found.
_ _ he that departeth ... prey — He that will not fall in with the prevailing iniquity exposes himself as a prey to the wicked (Psalms 10:8, Psalms 10:9).
_ _ Lord saw it — The iniquity of Israel, so desperate as to require nothing short of Jehovah’s interposition to mend it, typifies the same necessity for a Divine Mediator existing in the deep corruption of man; Israel, the model nation, was chosen to illustrate his awful fact. |
Isaiah 59:15
Faileth — All things are amiss, neither judgment or justice, or truth, is to be found among us. A prey — Or, as some render it, is accounted mad, is laughed at. Josephus tells us, that immediately before the destruction of Jerusalem, it was matter of scorn to be religions. The translators reach the meaning of the word by prey: the wicked, like wild beasts, endeavouring to devour such as are not as bad as themselves: where wickedness rules, innocency is oppressed. |

Yea, truth faileth; and he [that] departeth from evil maketh himself (n) a prey: and the LORD saw [it], and it displeased him that [there was] no judgment.
