The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 29:23

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

The work of mine hands; i.e. regenerated and "created anew unto good works" (Ephesians 2:10)—God's work, and no longer denying themselves to be such (Isaiah 29:16). They shall sanctify my Name, and sanctify, etc.

; rather, they shall sanctify my Name, they shall even sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and fear the God of Israel. The last two clauses are exegetical of the first (Kay).
