Isaiah 1:26 And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning: afterward you shall be called… Two things are noteworthy in this passage. 1. The ideal is political. The salvation of Israel is secured when all public offices are filled with good men. "Judges" and "counsellors." 2. The ideal will be realised by a restoration of the best days of the past. (Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. |
