Isaiah 43:26 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

Put me in remembrance - Remind me of every plea which thou hast to urge before me in thy defense. Image from a trial (Isaiah 1:18; Isaiah 41:1). Our strongest plea is to remind God of His own promises. So Jacob did at Mahanaim and Peniel (Genesis 32:9; Genesis 32:12). God, then, instead of 'pleading against us with His great power,' 'will put His strength' in us (Job 23:6); we thus become 'the Lord's remembrancers,' (Isaiah 62:6, margin.)

Declare thou, that thou mayest be justified - `declare God's righteousness,' vindicated in Jesus Christ, "that thou mayest be justified" (Romans 3:26: cf. Psalms 143:2).
