Isaiah 57:18 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I have seen his ways; I have taken notice of these evil ways in which he seems resolved to walk, and that he is neither bettered by mercies nor judgments. And will heal him; or, yet I will heal him. Although I might justly destroy him, and leave him to perish in his own ways, yet of my mere mercy, and for my own name's sake, I will pity him, and turn him from his sins, and bring him out of his troubles. And, or, to wit, the copulative conjunction being put expositively, as it is frequently, to his mourners; to those who are humbled under God's hand, that mourn in Zion, Isaiah 61:2,3, for their own and others sins, Ezekiel 9:4, and for the calamities of God's church and people, Isaiah 66:10.

Isaiah 57:18

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
