Isaiah 52:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 52:9

7 ^aHow beautiful upon the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who proclaims peace,
Who brings glad tidings of good things,
Who proclaims salvation,
Who says to Zion,
^b“Your God reigns!”

8 Your watchmen shall lift up their voices,
With their voices they shall sing together;
For they shall see eye to eye
When the Lord brings back Zion.

9 Break forth into joy, sing together,
You waste places of Jerusalem!
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.

10 ^aThe Lord has¹ made bare His holy arm
In the eyes of ^ball the nations;
And all the ends of the earth shall see
The salvation of our God.

11 ^aDepart! Depart! Go out from there,
Touch no unclean thing;
Go out from the midst of her,
^bBe clean,
You who bear the vessels of the Lord.

12 For ^ayou shall not go out with haste,
Nor go by flight;
^bFor the Lord will go before you,
^cAnd the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

The Sin-Bearing Servant

13 Behold, ^aMy Servant shall deal prudently;
^bHe shall be exalted and¹ extolled and be very high.

14 Just as many were astonished at you,
So His ^avisage was marred more than any man,
And His form more than the sons of men;
