Repeated (Isaiah 57:21). All the blessings just mentioned (Isaiah 48:21) belong only to the godly, not to the wicked. Israel shall first cast away its wicked unbelief before it shall inherit national prosperity (Zechariah 12:10-14; Zechariah 13:1, Zechariah 13:9; Zechariah 14:3, Zechariah 14:14, Zechariah 14:20-21). The sentiment holds good also as to all wicked men (Job 15:20-25, Job 15:31-34).
Messiah, as the ideal Israel (Isaiah 49:3), states the object of His mission, His want of success for a time, yet His certainty of ultimate success.
