Isaiah 51:7

The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 51:7

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness. The highest grade of faithfulness is here addressed—not those who "seek" (), but those who have found—who "know righteousness," and have the "law" of God in their "hearts."

Such persons may still be liable to one weakness—they may "fear the reproach of men."
