the law.The passage quoted is taken from the prophet Isaiah; but the term torah, Law, was used by the Jews to express the whole Scriptures, law, prophets, and hagiographia; and they used it to distinguish these Sacred Writings from the words of the scribes.
It is not taken from the LXX., from which it varies as much as any words can differ from others where the general meaning is similar.
It accords much more with the Hebrew; and may be considered as a translation from it; "only what is said of God in the third person, in the Hebrew, is here expressed in the first person, with the addition of [lego kurios ,"] saith the Lord.--Dr. Randolph.

• Such a tongue speaking to Israel was a sign of their humiliation, and of God's judgment {Isa. 28:11-12}. What perversity, then, for the saints in Corinth to turn from God, speaking in prophecy for their edification, to tongues which they could not understand! (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 14:13-25” by W. Kelly)
