Isaiah 40:10 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The Lord God.Adonai Jehovah; each word commonly translated Lord. The combination is characteristic both of 1 and 2 Isaiah (Isaiah 3:15; Isaiah 28:16; Isaiah 30:15).

With strong hand. — Literally, with, or in strength of hand, as the essence of His being. The “arm” of the Lord is a favourite phrase of Isaiah (Isaiah 51:5; Isaiah 51:9; Isaiah 52:10) for His power.

His reward is with him... — The noun “work” has also the sense of recompense for the faithful worker (Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:15, and is rightly taken in that sense here and in Isaiah 62:11).

Isaiah 40:10

10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strongd hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
