He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Ver. 4. He shall not fail, nor be discouraged.] Non erit tristis nec turbulentus; so the Vulgate hath it. He shall be master of his passions, and keep an even state of his looks and motions, whatever befall, as they report of Socrates. He shall not knit his brows, or chide - which was Eli's fault, 1Sa 3:13 but is Christ's commendation - so Lud. de Dieu rendereth it. He shall not make to smoke (so Junius from Isa 42:3), nor shall he bruise any one.
Until he have set judgment.] See on Isaiah 42:3 .
And the isles shall wait for his law.] Heb., Shall with desire expect his doctrine.
