Commentary on Isaiah 51:22

Theological / Devotional

My fury. In chastening Israel, God dealt with them as a loving father deals with a wayward son (see Prov. 3:11, 12; Heb. 12:5-11; Rev. 3:19). To Israel the cup had been bitter indeed.

No more drink it. The Lord arises in response to the appeal of v. 17 (see vs. 18, 19), to comfort (see on ch. 40:1) and rescue Jerusalem. The hour of her release is at hand.
