Isaiah 61:3,4 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Every office of tenderness distinguished the person of Christ. So gentle, so gracious, and so full of compassion, was he to be, that even the bruised reed he should not break, nor quench the smoking flax. Hence all noticed the meekness of the Lamb of God, and every feature witnessed who he was.

Isaiah 61:3-4

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
