Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 41:14

Theological / Devotional

Thou worm Jacob. God reminds the people of Israel that they have no value or strength of themselves. Without God they are a weak, helpless, and insignificant people, to be despised and trampled under foot (see Job 25:6; Ps. 22:6).

Thy redeemer. The Holy One of Israel was the Redeemer of His people. They were lost and seemingly without hope, but He would perform for them the service of a near kinsman (Lev. 25:47-49; see on Ruth 2:20). Isaiah frequently presents this picture of God as the Redeemer of His people (Isa. 35:9, 10; 43:1, 14; 44:6, 22-24; 47:4; 48:17, 20; 49:26; 52:9; 54:5). Job also recognized God as his Redeemer (Job 19:25).

The Holy One. See on ch. 40:25.
