Bible Commentary

Isaiah 43:20

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The beast of the field shall honour me. The animal creation shall, participate in the benefits of the "new thing" introduced by the restoration of Israel, and in their dumb way shall show their gratitude.

The dragons and the owls. The recent mention of the desert causes animals of the desert (Isaiah 13:21, Isaiah 13:22) to be taken as examples. (On the animals intended, see the comment on Isaiah 34:13.

) If even the beasts of the desert honoured God, much more would the rest of the animal creation (comp. Isaiah 11:6-8).
