Isaiah 41:11 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 41:11

Behold, all they that were incensed against thee
For rejecting their idols, and idol worship; for receiving the Gospel, and professing it: shall be ashamed and confounded;
their idols not being able to help them, nor they to defend the worship of them: the same is said with respect to Christ, ( Isaiah 45:24 ) : they shall be as nothing, and they that strive with thee shall perish;
or, "the men of thy strife" ^F15; all shall come to nothing, and utterly perish, as to their persons, substance, power, and dignity; as did the Roman emperors, the persecutors of God's people.

Isaiah 41:11 In-Context

9 thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from the corners thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee and not cast thee away;

10 Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 Behold, all they that are incensed against thee shall be put to shame and confounded: they that strive with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish.

12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contend with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

13 For I, Jehovah thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
