Isaiah 59:11 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. But it is far off from us "And it is far distant from us" - The conjunction ו vau must necessarily be prefixed to the verb, as the Syriac, Chaldee, and Vulgate found it in their copies; ורחקה verachakah, "and far off."

Isaiah 59:11

11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
