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 from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men 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 were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded; they shall be as nothing, and they that strive with thee shall perish.

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

13 For I, the LORD thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, `Fear not; I will help thee.'
