Isaiah 52:3 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Ye have sold yourselves... — Literally, ye were sold. The people had complained that Jehovah had “sold them” into the hands of their enemies (Psalms 44:12). “Not so,” is the answer. “There was no real sale, only a temporary transfer, and therefore Jehovah can redeem you at His own pleasure. A comparison with Isaiah 43:3, shows how spiritual truths may present aspects that require the most opposite illustrations.

Isaiah 52:3

3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
