with her.
 In the two verses that close this chapter the prophet himself speaks, as voicing the glad response that will spring from the redeemed and restored Israel of the millennial day. (Isaiah 61 by F.B. Hole)
 At Sinai and under the law their ancestors feared and trembled before Him, since all depended on what they could do. Now they are joyfully alive to what God has done for them and with them. Notice how at this point the prophetic strain drops down to the personal and individual. It is not “clothed us”, but “clothed me”. Not “covered us”, but “covered me”. The language is figurative, but the meaning is clear. (Isaiah 61 by F.B. Hole)
