Isaiah 29:24

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

¹⁷In just a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest? ¹⁸On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see. ¹⁹The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. ²⁰For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down- ²¹those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and with empty charges deprive the righteous of justice. ²²Therefore, the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: "No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale. ²³For when he sees his children, the work of My hands among him, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel. ²⁴Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They also that erred in spirit,.... In judgment, and in spiritual things; as the Jews have done, ever since the Messiah's coming, being given up to a spirit of error, as the Targum, on

Isaiah 29:10 calls it; they have erred concerning the Scriptures, and the prophecies of them; concerning the Messiah, his work and office; concerning his truths and his ordinances, and by preferring their traditions to the word of God: but these

shall come to understanding; to a spiritual understanding of Christ, and salvation by him; of his Gospel, and the doctrines of it; as well as of themselves, their state and condition:

and they that murmured; at Christ, and what was delivered by him; at the reception of sinners by him; at the calling of the Gentiles; and at the providence of God that have attended them, ever since their rejection of the true Messiah:

shall learn doctrine; the doctrine of the Messiah; not the law, as Kimchi and Ben Melech; but the Gospel, which Christ "received" from his Father, as the word f used signifies, and his disciples received from him, and the church has received from them, and has been transmitted to us Gentiles, and will be to the Jews in the latter day, who will learn the true knowledge of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They also that erred in spirit - (see Isaiah 29:9-10).

Shall learn doctrine - When” this would occur the prophet does not state. It “may” be intended to denote the times of Hezekiah; or the times subsequent to the captivity; or possibly it may refer to the times under the Messiah. All that the prophet teaches is, that at some future period in the history of the Jews, there would be such a reform that they should be regarded as the worthy descendants of the pious patriarch Jacob.
