• It is worthy of note that in the passage before us there are three calls to hearken and three to awake. Those called upon to hearken in the early part of the chapter— verses 1, 4, 7— are those who “follow after righteousness... that seek the Lord”; those acknowledged as “My people”; and those “that know righteousness... in whose heart is My law”. The emphasis clearly is on righteousness, for nothing that contravenes that is going to stand. (“Isaiah 51:17-53:9” by F.B. Hole)
• {v.17-23} in the closing verses of chapter 51, we get a recital of the effect of these disciplinary dealings, and then the declaration of how God will reverse the process, and chastise those who inflicted judgment upon Israel. (“Isaiah 51:17-53:9” by F.B. Hole)
