Isaiah 59:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth - rather, 'No one calleth an adversary into court with justice' - i:e., None bringeth a just suit; 'No one pleadeth with truth.' So the Chaldaic, Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic in the main. But the Vulgate, me the English version [`Non est qui invocet justitiam'].

They trust in vanity ... and bring forth iniquity - (so Job 15:35; Psalms 7:14.)

Isaiah 59:4

4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
