Isaiah 61:11

Isaiah 61:11

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

As the garden; rather, as a garden. The Hebrew is without the article. Righteousness and praise. The essential result of righteousness is "salvation" (see verse 20); its accidental result is "praise" or "renown." Men cannot but recognize the benefits which flow to themselves from goodness in others; and a perfectly righteous nation would attract to itself universal praise (comp. , "I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord ").
