Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 55:5

Theological / Devotional

A nation. This refers to the Gentiles (Ps. 18:43; Gal. 2:9; Eph. 2:19; 1 Peter 2:9, 10). The Jews were the only people whom God had “known of all the families of the earth” (Amos 3:2). The Jews often referred to Gentiles as “strangers” (see Isa. 56:6).

Run unto thee. See pp. 28-30.

He hath glorified thee. For all that God purposed to do for Israel, see pp. 26-28.
