Isaiah 61:11 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

For as the earth bringeth forth, &c. By this and the other metaphor here used, the church shows, not only the revival and restoration of her blessings, after they had been, as it were, dead and lost in the winter of affliction, but the great plenty and abundance of them that should spring forth and flourish: what had been as a wilderness should be as a paradise, referring to the effects of God's grace and bounty. So the Lord will cause righteousness That is, his great work of salvation; and praise As the natural product and fruit of it; to spring forth To break out and appear; before all nations These things will not be done in a corner, but will be eminently conspicuous in the sight of all the world.
