Isaiah 41:13 For I the LORD your God will hold your right hand, saying to you, Fear not; I will help you. God repeats His love for, and His purpose concerning, Israel. Lacordaire said that love is always saying the same thing, yet never repeats itself. And though God repeats in both parts His love and purpose, yet it would be new all through to the Jew, sick with his sorrow and captivity; and the sum of the consolation is — "I am with thee. Fear not; rather rejoice." No trial could or would befall the Jew but God would help him to bear it. (J. A. Davies, B. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. |
