Commentary on Isaiah 44:7

Theological / Devotional

And who, as I? Or, “Who is like me?” (RSV). It is God who orders and disposes the affairs of earth; it is He who knows the past and declares the future. It is He who appointed Israel as a righteous and eternal people. In all of this lies evidence that He is the true God; idols cannot do what He has done (see on ch. 41:4, 21-26).

Since I appointed. By a rearrangement of the Hebrew text of this clause and the next, the RSV reads, “Who has announced from of old the things to come?” There is no fundamental alteration of the thought.
