Comment and Suggestive Thought
" 49, Shall deal prudently (wise-
ly)." In the Hebrew original a pecul-
lar word signlfying ito prosper be-
cause Of wise doings" Exalted, ex-
tolled, very high" BY thus piling up
his verbs, the prophet strives TO point
TO the highest possible exaltation.
V. Ia. Many we're astonished." A
strong word the primary significance
Of which Is TO be struck dumb. Be
holders were speechless With astonish-
ment. His vlsage." etc. This ex-
plains why men we're astonished-bs-
cause mankinds DeIiverer, Gods Am
bassador, was so lowly Of mien.
V. IS. 80 shall He sprinkle many
nations" Some versions render the
verb startle The original might be
applied to the gushing forth Of wa
ters, or 10 one making a leap from
surprise II seems most probable that
it refers TO Jesus cleansing US from
sin. Kings shall shut their mouths"
In reyerential awe they will keep
silence. (See Job 29.9. l0)
VI. who hath believed our re-
portr The prophet here speaks pre-
sumably for himself and all other
prophets whose messages from God
had been discredited by many Of the
people. Arm OF the Lord revealed"
The arm is the symbol OF power, OF
help.
Va He shall grow up before
him" This wonderful One will be
carefully watched and guarded by
Jehovah.
V. 3. "A man Of sorrows." Jesus
whole life was full Of sadness and sor-
row we hid faces from
Him" AS a man turns his head away
when passing one whom he does not
wish 10 recognize. I'VE esteemed
Him not" We refused him the love
for which his heart longed.
VA Borne our griefs.' Borne"
signifies to remove by lifting and car
rying away "Griefs" Is, literally,
sicknesses. Jesus was not merely
panied because we were suffering
from the malady Of sin, but HIS pain
had the effect Of lifting that disease
from us.
VS.. Wounded. bruised, chastise-
ment" Words expressive Of the most
severe suffering that can be inflicted.
'Transgressions. iniquities." Names
for sin, setting forth its various phases.
VS.. "All we" All mankind.
Csee Ps. l4:2. 80 Like sheep have
gone astray" Sheep are peculiarly
liable 10 wander
VI "He was oppressed" He suf-
fered unjustly Opened not His
mouth" Made no complaint or ex-
postulation. "As a lamb" etc. The
prophet can find none 10 whom 20
liken this uncomplaining Sufferer save
an innocent lamb, which alike before
its shearers and its slayers. Is dumb.
VS.. Taken from prison and from
Judgment" See Rev. Yer Every
show Of Justice was denied Him.
We His grave With the wicked,
and with the rich. Because" Al
though. mo violence, neither deceit"
No harsh conduct on the part Of Jesus,
no vestige Of deceit, drove men TO
treat Him thus
V. 10. 1T pleased the Lord" All
this suffering on the part Of tho
Saviour was in accord with the viii
and plan Of God the Father.
V. IL. "see the travail Of HIS soul"
See what has been accomplished by
his arduous labors. ''Be satisfied"
Even HIS heart, In its infinite love,
will be satisfied by His knowledge"
BY the knowledge Of Hin John l7is).
v l2. Portion with the great"
He shall be reckoned as greatest Of
conquerors. (Ses Cor. 1875; Phil.
2:9-li) Divide the spoil" A pro-
verbal expression Indicative Of con-
quest Poured out His soul" Gave
the life blood. not merely OF Hts body,

Practical Points.
V. 13 Jesus considered servant"
His noblest designation; so should His
followers Luke 72:2e.
