Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
As my messenger that I sent "As he to whom I have sent my messengers" - kemalachey eshlach , ut AD quem nuncios meos misi . The Vulgate and Chaldee are almost the only interpreters who render it rightly, in consistence with the rest of the sentence, and in perfect agreement with the Hebrew idiom; according to which the ellipsis is to be thus supplied: kelaasher malachey eshlach ; "As he to whom I have sent my messengers."
As he that is perfect "As he who is perfectly instructed" - See note on Isaiah 44:2 (note).
And blind as the Lord' s servant "And deaf, as the servant of Jehovah" - For veivver , and blind, we must read vecheresh , and deaf: , Symmachus, and so a MS. The mistake is palpable, and the correction self-evident, and admissible though there had been no authority for it.
