Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 42:16

Theological / Devotional

The blind. That is, those who have been spiritually blind (see on v. 7). Divine retribution will fall upon those who have deliberately rejected light (vs. 13-15), whereas those who are sincere, though benighted, will come to the light, and will be given an opportunity to accept the gracious mercy of God.

Crooked things straight. See on ch. 40:4.
