For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For the Scripture saith - in Isaiah 28:16, a glorious Messianic passage,
Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Here, as in Romans 9:33, the quotation is from the Septuagint. In the original Hebrew it is, 'shall not make haste' [yaachiysh] - meaning (as we understand it), 'shall not fly for escape, as from apprehended danger.' The Septuagint rendering [kataischuntheeseteai] here made use of is but another phase of the same idea. In the former case, the 'security' which the believer has is viewed as a felt security, producing 'calm continuance;' in the latter case, it is an intrinsically solid security-never putting to shame.
