Isaiah 1:26 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I will restore thy judges, I will give thee such princes and magistrates, as at the first, Heb. as thou hadst in the beginning; either,

1. Of thy commonwealth, such as Moses and Joshua; or,

2. Of thy kingdom, such as David. Thy counsellors; thy princes shall have and hearken to wise and faithful counsellors, which is a singular blessing to a prince and people. Thou shalt be called, to wit, justly and truly; thou shalt be such; for to be called is oft put for to be, as Isaiah 4:3, Isaiah 61:6 Matthew 5:9.

Isaiah 1:26

26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
