Commentary on Isaiah 48:8

Theological / Devotional

Very treacherously. See on v. 1. God well knew the perverse character of the people of Israel. He knew that they did not want to believe and that, to the end, they would justify themselves in their rebellion. Accordingly, He now presents a most unusual set of predictions, including their coming captivity, the mission of Cyrus, a century and a half before his time, the deliverance from Babylon, and other events culminating in the coming of Messiah.

A transgressor. Or, “a rebel” (Deut. 29:4 ; 31:27).
