judgment—justice, which requires that I should restore My people, and give them double in compensation for their sufferings.
robbery for burnt offering—rather, from a different Hebrew root, the spoil of iniquity [HORSLEY]. So in Job 5:6. Hating, as I do, the rapine, combined with iniquity, perpetrated on My people by their enemies, I will vindicate Israel.
direct . . . work in truth—rather, "I will give them the reward of their work" (compare Isaiah 40:10, Margin; Isaiah 49:4, Margin; Isaiah 62:11, Margin).
