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.
