Commentary on Isaiah 59:16

Theological / Devotional

The Lord saw it. These words begin a new section. The divine indictment of Judah (vs. 9-15) has been concluded. The Lord now surveys the seemingly hopeless condition of Judah and offers Himself as a Saviour and Intercessor (see on ch. 53:12). It is encouraging to know that when a situation appears dark and discouraging to man, the Lord not only knows all about it, but stands ready to take steps that will bring relief.
