Comment and Suggestive Thought.
v. 13. "Shall deal prudently (wise-
ly)." In the Hebrew original a pecul-
lar word signifying TO 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 were astonished." A
strong word, the primary significance
OF which Is to be struck dumb. Be-
holders we're speechless with astonish-
ment. His visage,' etc. This ex-
plains why men were astonished-be-
cause mankind's Deliverer. Gods Am
bassador, was so lowly Of mien.
v. Is. $50 shall He sprinkle many
nations" Some versions render the
verb startle. The original might be
applied to the gushing forth OF wa
ters, or to one making leap from
surprise. 1t seems most probable that
| 1t refers to Jesus cleansing us from
sin. Kings shall shut their mouths. y
In reverential awe they will keep
silence. (Ses Job 20:s. 10.),
v. 1. "who hath believed our 70.
port?" 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, ol
help.
w. 2. HE shall grow up befor,
him." This wonderful One will b
carefully watched and guarded b,
Jehovah.
v. 8. "A man OF sorrows." Jesus
whole life was full ef sadness and sor
row. We hid faces from
Him." As man turns his head away
when passing one whom he does no
wish to recognize. I'VE esteemed
Him not" We refused him the low
for which his heart longed.
v. 4. Borne our griefs." Borne
signifies to remove by lifting and car
rying away. "Griefs" is, literally
sicknesses. Jesus was not merel!
panied because we we're sufferin,
from the malady OF sin, but His pail
had the effect Of lifting that diseas
from us.
v. s. Wounded, bruised, chastise
ment." Words expressive OF the mos
severe suffering that can be inflicted
"Transgressions. iniquitiee." Name
for sin, setting forth its various phases
We. "All we." All mankind
(See Ps. 14:2. 49, Like sheep, hav
gone astray." Sheep are peculiarl
liable to wander.
VT. "He was oppressed" He SUI
fered unjustly. Opened not Hi
mouth" Made no complaint or es
postulation. "As q lamb" etc. Tn
prophet can hnd none to whom t
liken this accomplishing Sufferer saw
. an innocent lamb. which. alike befer
its shearers and its slayeYs, Ii dumb.
