Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 62:8

Theological / Devotional

Lord hath sworn. Upon taking an oath a man was to raise his right arm in solemn affirmation of his truthfulness and sincerity (Deut. 32:40; Eze. 20:5, 15). Because Israel had sinned, God withdrew His protecting care and allowed their enemies to triumph over them and to despoil the land (see on Isa. 59:1-15). Henceforth, He would defend them against their foes (see on vs. 15-20). God would supply their necessities and bless them abundantly (see pp. 27, 28).
