You who bring good tidings,
Get up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem,
You who bring good tidings,
Lift up your voice with strength,
Lift it up, be not afraid;
Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”
And aHis arm shall rule for Him;
Behold, bHis reward is with Him,
And His1 work before Him.
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.
Measured heaven with a1 span
And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
Weighed the mountains in scales
And the hills in a balance?

Isaiah 40:10
with strong hand—or, "against the strong"; rather, "as a strong one" [MAURER]. Or, against the strong one, namely, Satan (Matthew 12:29; Revelation 20:2-3, Revelation 20:10) [VITRINGA].
arm—power (Psalms 89:13; Psalms 98:1).
for him—that is, He needs not to seek help for Himself from any external source, but by His own inherent power He gains rule for Himself (so Isaiah 40:14).
work—or, "recompense for his work"; rather, "recompense which He gives for work" (Isaiah 62:11; Revelation 22:12).
