Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 59:13

Theological / Devotional

Departing away. Sin ever leads from God, never to Him. The path Israel was following led the nation further and further from the ideals God had set before them. The people, as it were (see on v. 12), here frankly admit their guilt (see on v. 9), and in so doing take the first step back to the Lord. The successive steps essential to reformation are explained in ch. 58:5-14. This was Israel’s only hope of averting further calamity.
