Isaiah 8:18

Isaiah 8:18

16 Bind up the testimony,
Seal the law among my disciples.

17 And I will wait on the Lord,
Who ^ahides His face from the house of Jacob;
And I ^bwill hope in Him.

18 ^aHere am I and the children whom the Lord has given me!
We ^bare for signs and wonders in Israel
From the Lord of hosts,
Who dwells in Mount Zion.

19 And when they say to you, ^a“Seek those who are mediums and wizards, ^bwho whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they ^cseek the dead on behalf of the living?

20 ^aTo the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because ^bthere is no light in them.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 8:17

Isaiah 8:19 >>

Behold - These words are literally spoken by Isaiah concerning himself, but mystically concerning Christ; and therefore they are fitly ascribed to Christ, Hebrews 2:13. The children - His spiritual children, whom he had either begotten or brought up by his ministry. Wonders - Are a gazing flock, for our folly in believing God's promises. From the Lord - Which comes to pass by the wise providence of God. Zion - Where the temple now was, and where the Messiah was to set up his kingdom.
