Isaiah 26:19-21

The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 26:19-21

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

THE PROPHET'S COMMENT ON THE SONG OF THE JUST. Having concluded his "song of the just" in a minor key with a confession of human weakness, the prophet proceeds to cheer and encourage his disciples by a clear and positive declaration of the doctrine of the resurrection: "Thy dead, O Israel, shall live."

He then adds a recommendation for the present—a recommendation to privacy and retirement, until the judgments of God which he has predicted (.) are shown forth upon the earth.
