Ésaïe 50:8

8 Celui qui me justifie est proche: qui plaidera contre moi? Comparais-sons ensemble! Qui est ma partie adverse? Qu'il s'approche de moi!

Ésaïe 50:8 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 50:8

He is near that justifieth me
His Father was "near" him in his whole state of humiliation; he left him not alone; he was at his right hand, and therefore he was not moved; and "justified" him from all the calumnies of his enemies, or the false charges they brought against him, and from all the sins of his people that were upon him; these he took upon him, and bore them, and made satisfaction for them, upon which he was acquitted; and which is evident by his resurrection from the dead, by his ascension to heaven, and session at the right hand of God; and by the gifts of the Spirit, extraordinary and ordinary, he received for men, and gave unto them; see ( 1 Timothy 3:16 ) . Who will contend with me?
being thus acquitted; will the law and justice of God litigate the point with him? they are both satisfied; will Satan dispute the matter with him? he is foiled, conquered, and destroyed; or will the wicked Jews enter the argument with him? wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. Let us stand together;
face to face, if they dare; let them face me, if they can: who is mine adversary?
let him appear, that he may be known: let him come near to me:
and engage with me, if he has courage or skill. This is bidding defiance to all his enemies, and triumphing over them.

Ésaïe 50:8 In-Context

6 J'ai présenté mon dos à ceux qui me frappaient, mes joues à ceux qui m'arrachaient la barbe; je n'ai pas dérobé mon visage aux outrages ni aux crachats.

7 Mais le Seigneur, l'Éternel est mon aide; aussi je n'ai point eu de honte; aussi j'ai rendu mon visage semblable à un caillou; je sais que je ne serai pas confondu.

8 Celui qui me justifie est proche: qui plaidera contre moi? Comparais-sons ensemble! Qui est ma partie adverse? Qu'il s'approche de moi!

9 Voici, le Seigneur, l'Éternel est mon aide: qui me condamnera? Voici, ils s'useront tous comme un vêtement, la teigne les dévorera.

10 Qui d'entre vous craint l'Éternel, qui écoute la voix de son serviteur? Que celui qui marche dans les ténèbres, et qui n'a point de lumière, se confie au nom de l'Éternel, et qu'il s'appuie sur son Dieu.
