Isaiah 29:19
19. meek--rather, the afflicted godly: the idea is, virtuous suffering (Is 61:1; Psa 25:9; 37:11) [Barnes]. poor among men--that is, the poorest of men, namely, the pious poor. rejoice--when they see their oppressors punished (Is 29:20, 21), and Jehovah exhibited as their protector and rewarder (Is 29:22-24; Is 41:17; Jas 2:5).
