SECTION III. THE MISSION OF THE SERVANT OF THE LORD (CH. 49-53).

EXPOSITION

The connection of the present section is especially with , where the mission of the Servant of Jehovah was first announced. That mission was there described with extreme brevity. It has now to be fully set forth, for the instruction, consolation, and comfort of all Israel, which is represented as sunk in despondency, deeming itself forgotten of God and forsaken by him (, ). In the present chapter Jehovah's attestation of his Servant's mission is set forth (), and Zion is comforted in her despondency ().
