Teaching Points Reverence for God's WordBelievers are called to tremble at God's word, showing deep respect and obedience. This reverence sets them apart from those who merely profess faith without true commitment. Endurance in Persecution The faithful may face exclusion and hatred from even their own community. However, they are encouraged to endure, knowing that God will ultimately vindicate them. God's Vindication The promise of God's vindication serves as a source of hope and encouragement. Believers can trust that God will bring justice and shame to those who oppose His people. Joy in Suffering The paradox of finding joy amidst persecution is a recurring theme in Scripture. Believers are reminded that their joy is rooted in their relationship with God and His promises. Living for God's Glory The ultimate goal of the believer's life is to glorify God. Even in the face of opposition, their conduct should reflect God's glory, trusting that He will reveal His glory through their lives.(5) Hear the word of the Lord . . .--The prophet turns from the hypocrites to the persecuted remnant. The self-righteous, self-exalting Pharisee (comp. Isaiah 65:5) repudiates, and, as it were, excommunicates, the true worshippers, and taunts them with their devotion to a God who does not help them. In words which find an echo in Matthew 27:42, they said, "Let Jehovah glorify Himself, that we may look on your joy." The prophet adds the doom that shall fall upon the mockers: "They, and not those whom they deride, shall be put to shame."Verses 5-14. - THE GODLY EXILES ENCOURAGED. The scoffs which have long greeted those who believed God's promises and expected the restoration of Zion, will be put to shame. The silence in which Zion has lain will be broken; she will be once more a city "full of stirs, a tumultuous city" (Isaiah 22:2). Suddenly, without any pains of travail, she will bring forth; and her offspring will be "a nation born at once" (ver. 8). The godly exiles are called upon to rejoice at the prospect (ver. 10), and promised peace and comfort in the restored city (vers. 11-14). Verse 5. - Hear... ye that tremble. The godly are addressed - those that have a reverent fear of God's word (comp. ver. 2, ad fin.; and see also Ezra 9:4; Ezra 10:3). Your brethren that... cast you out; rather. that put you away (Cheyne), or thrust you from them (Delitzsch). The verb used came in later times to designate formal excommunication; but here it points merely to a practical renunciation of fellowship. Said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy; rather, said, Let Jehovah glorify himself, that ice may see your joy; i.e. "said sarcastically, May the prophecies be fulfilled, and God humble Babylon, and release Israel, and restore her, that we may witness your rejoicing. We should gladly see all this; but we do not in the least expect it." And they shall be ashamed; rather, but as for them (i.e. those who so speak) they shall be ashamed. The event shall shame them.
