unto the city—Jerusalem.
the man of wisdom—As in Proverbs 13:6, Hebrew, "sin" is used for "a man of sin," and in Psalms 109:4, "prayer" for "a man of prayer"; so here "wisdom" for "the man of wisdom."
shall see thy name—shall regard Thee, in Thy revelations of Thyself. Compare the end of Micah 2:7. God's "name" expresses the sum-total of His revealed attributes. Contrast with this Isaiah 26:10, "will not behold the majesty of the Lord." Another reading is adopted by the Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, "there is deliverance for those who fear Thy name." English Version is better suited to the connection; and the rarity of the Hebrew expression, as compared with the frequency of that in the other reading, makes it less likely to be an interpolation.
hear . . . the rod, etc.—Hear what punishment (compare Micah 6:13, etc.; Isaiah 9:3; Isaiah 10:5, Isaiah 10:24) awaits you, and from whom. I am but a man, and so ye may disregard me; but remember my message is not mine, but God's. Hear the rod when it is come, and you feel its smart. Hear what counsels, what cautions it speaks.
appointed it— (Jeremiah 47:7).
