Jesaja 29:22 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 29:22

Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham
That brought him from Ur of the Chaldees; that freed him from idolatry, and from a vain conversation before conversion, and delivered him from many evils and dangers afterwards; and saved him with an everlasting salvation, through the Messiah, the great Redeemer, that sprung from him, and took on him the nature of the seed of Abraham: concerning the house of Jacob;
his family and posterity, the whole body of the Jewish people; or rather the church of God in Gospel times, consisting of the posterity of Jacob; that trod in his steps, plain hearted Christians, Israelites indeed, praying souls, wrestling Jacobs, and prevailing Israels; of whom the Lord speaks the following things: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax
pale;
as formerly, when those that descended from Jacob rejected the Messiah, traduced his character, as if he was the worst of men; blasphemed his person, doctrines, and miracles; spit upon him, buffeted, scourged, and crucified him; which filled those of the same descent and nation, that believed in him, with shame and confusion, so that their faces blushed, or turned pale or white; but now this should be no longer their case, because of the conversion and salvation of that people in the latter day, which is predicted in the next verse ( Isaiah 29:23 ) , with which this is connected.

Jesaja 29:22 In-Context

20 wenn die Tyrannen ein Ende haben und es mit den Spöttern aus sein wird und vertilgt sein werden alle die, so wachen, Mühsal anzurichten,

21 welche die Leute sündigen machen durchs Predigen und stellen dem nach, der sie straft im Tor, und stürzen durch Lügen den Gerechten.

22 Darum spricht der HERR, der Abraham erlöst hat, zum Hause Jakob also: Jakob soll nicht mehr zu Schanden werden, und sein Antlitz soll sich nicht mehr schämen.

23 Denn wenn sie sehen werden ihre Kinder, die Werke meiner Hände unter ihnen, werden sie meinen Namen heiligen und werden den Heiligen in Jakob heiligen und den Gott Israels fürchten.

24 Denn die, so irrigen Geist haben, werden Verstand annehmen, und die Schwätzer werden sich lehren lassen.
