The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 48:17

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

The Lord … which teacheth thee to profit. God's teachings are all directed to the "profit" of those to whom they are addressed; and, if received in a proper spirit, actually "profit" them more than anything else can do.

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable" (2 Timothy 3:16). Very profitable also are the teachings of God's providence, which chasten men, warn men, and tend to keep men in the right path.
