Isaiah 46:13
near—antithetical to "far" (Isaiah 46:12; Isaiah 51:5; Isaiah 56:1; Isaiah 61:10-11; Romans 10:6-8).
righteousness—answering to "salvation" in the parallel clause; therefore it means here, "my righteous deliverance"; righteous, because proving the truth of God's promises, and so contrived as to not compromise, but vindicate, His righteousness (Isaiah 42:21; Romans 3:26).
Zion . . . my glory—rather, "I will give salvation in Zion; to Israel (I will give) my glory" [HORSLEY]. (Isaiah 63:11; Psalms 14:7; Luke 2:32).
