• Israel had been called as God’s servant and should have been a messenger to the nations on His behalf, yet they had been blind in all essential things. As to privilege they were “perfect”; as to their moral state they were blind. Still, as verse 21 indicates, God is not thereby defeated. His righteousness will be established and His law magnified and made honorable doubtless in connection with His true Servant. (“Isaiah 42” by F.B. Hole)
