Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 59:21

_ _ covenant with them ... thee — The covenant is with Christ, and with them only as united to Him (Hebrews 2:13). Jehovah addresses Messiah the representative and ideal Israel. The literal and spiritual Israel are His seed, to whom the promise is to be fulfilled (Psalms 22:30).

_ _ spirit ... not depart ... for ever — (Jeremiah 31:31-37; Matthew 28:20).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 59:16-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 59:21

My covenant — What I have promised, to them that turn from their iniquity. My words — Which thou hast uttered by virtue of my spirit. Of thy seed — A promise of the perpetual presence of his word and spirit with the prophets, apostles, and teachers of the church to all ages.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 59:21

As for me, this [is] my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that [is] upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, (u) shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

(u) Because the doctrine is made profitable by the virtue of the Spirit, he joins the one with the other, and promises to give them both to his Church for ever.
