Commentary on Isaiah 40:6

Theological / Devotional

What shall I cry? The Lord’s messenger found himself in perplexity. What message could he give appropriate to a time when the nation was suffering because of its sins? What message was there for “Sodom” and “Gomorrah” (ch. 1:9, 10) in the day of doom?

All flesh is grass. Compare Job 14:2; Ps. 90:5; 102:11; 103:15; James 1:10; 1 Peter 1:24.
