Isaiah 55:1-7

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

AN EXHORTATION TO SPIRITUALITY AND REPENTANCE. The prophet passes from the ideal to the actual, from the glorious future to the unsatisfactory present. The people are not ripe for the blessings of the Messianic kingdom—they do not sufficiently value them.

Hence a tender exhortation is addressed to them by God himself, inviting them to become more spiritually minded (Isaiah 55:1-3), and fresh promises are held out to the obedient (Isaiah 55:3-5). The disobedient are then somewhat sternly exhorted to turn from their evil ways and repent (Isaiah 55:6, Isaiah 55:7).
