Gill's Notes on the Bible
Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant,.... These words are directed to a remnant according to the election of grace among the Jews, about the time when their princes should be profaned, and the body of the people should be given to curse and reproaches; and who are distinguished from them by the title of the Lord's "servants": who, being called by grace, were made willing to serve him in righteousness and holiness, either by preaching his Gospel, and so had the title of the servants of the most high God, which show unto men the way of salvation; or by observing his commands and ordinances, and walking agreeably to his will, serving him acceptably with reverence and godly fear; as they are also, in the next clause, distinguished from the rest by their being "chosen" of God: and these, having ears to hear, are called upon to hearken to what the Lord had to say unto them; for, notwithstanding the sorrowful things delivered out in the latter part of the preceding chapter, threatening destruction to the nation of the Jews; yet he had some comfortable things to say to this remnant, and therefore would now have them hear them, and attend unto them for their use and comfort:
and Israel whom I have chosen; an Israel out of Israel; a seed the Lord had reserved for himself, whom he had chosen in Christ before the world was; to be holy and happy, to grace here and glory hereafter, to believe in him, and profess his name, and to serve him in their day and generation, either in a more public, or in a more private way; chosen vessels they were to bear his name, and show forth his praise. What they were to hear and hearken to is as follows,
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Yet now hear - This should be read in immediate connection with the previous chapter. âNotwithstanding you have sinned, yet now hear the gracious promise which is made in regard to your deliverance.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XLIV
This chapter, besides promises of redemption, of the effusion
of the Spirit, and success of the Gospel, 1-5,
sets forth, in a very sublime manner, the supreme power and
foreknowledge, and absolute eternity, of the one true God; and
exposes the folly and absurdity of idolatry with admirable
force and elegance, 6-20.
And to show that the knowledge of future events belongs only to
Jehovah, whom all creation is again called to adore for the
deliverance and reconciliation granted to his people, 21-23,
the prophet concludes with setting in a very strong point of
view the absolute impotence of every thing considered great and
insurmountable in the sight of men, when standing in the way of
the Divine counsel; and mentions the future deliverer of the
Jewish nation expressly by name, nearly two hundred years
before his birth, 24-28.
