Isaiah 55:8-13

Isaiah 55:8-13

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

A FRESH ASSURANCE or DELIVERANCE FROM BABYLON. Man can scarcely conceive of the deliverance which God designs; but God's thoughts are not as man's (, ). God's word, once pronounced, is potent to effect its purpose (, ). Deliverance from Babylon, having been promised, will take place, and will be accompanied by all manner of spiritual blessings (, ).

,

My thoughts are not your thoughts. Though man is made in God's image (), yet the nature of God in every way infinitely transcends that of man. Both the thoughts and the acts of God surpass man's understanding. Men find it hard to pardon those who have offended them; God can pardon, and "pardon abundantly.'' Men cannot conceive of coming changes, when they pass certain limits. God knows assuredly what changes are approaching, since they are his doing.
