Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 64:5

_ _ meetest — that is, Thou makest peace, or enterest into covenant with him (see on Isaiah 47:3).

_ _ rejoiceth and worketh — that is, who with joyful willingness worketh [Gesenius] (Acts 10:35; John 7:17).

_ _ those — Thou meetest “those,” in apposition to “him” who represents a class whose characteristics “those that,” etc., more fully describes.

_ _ remember thee in thy ways — (Isaiah 26:8).

_ _ sinned — literally, “tripped,” carrying on the figure in “ways.”

_ _ in those is continuance — a plea to deprecate the continuance of God’s wrath; it is not in Thy wrath that there is continuance (Isaiah 54:7, Isaiah 54:8; Psalms 30:5; Psalms 103:9), but in Thy ways (“those”), namely, of covenant mercy to Thy people (Micah 7:18-20; Malachi 3:6); on the strength of the everlasting continuance of His covenant they infer by faith, “we shall be saved.” God “remembered” for them His covenant (Psalms 106:45), though they often “remembered not” Him (Psalms 78:42). Castellio translates, “we have sinned for long in them (‘thy ways’), and could we then be saved?” But they hardly would use such a plea when their very object was to be saved.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 64:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 64:5

Meetest — As the father the prodigal. Worketh — That rejoices to work righteousness. Continuance — To those that work righteousness. Be saved — In so doing, in working righteousness.
