‏ Isaiah 29:22-24

22. Join "saith ... concerning the house of Jacob."

redeemed--out of Ur, a land of idolaters (Jos 24:3).

not now--After the moral revolution described (Is 29:17), the children of Jacob shall no longer give cause to their forefathers to blush for them.

wax pale--with shame and disappointment at the wicked degeneracy of his posterity, and fear as to their punishment.

23. But--rather, "For."

he--Jacob.

work of mine hands--spiritually, as well as physically (Is 19:25; 60:21; Ep 2:10). By Jehovah's agency Israel shall be cleansed of its corruptions, and shall consist wholly of pious men (Is 54:13, 14; 2:1; 60:21).

learn doctrine--rather, "shall receive discipline" or "instruction." "Murmuring" was the characteristic of Israel's rebellion against God (Ex 16:8; Psa 106:25). This shall be so no more. Chastisements, and, in Horsley's view, the piety of the Gentiles provoking the Jews to holy jealousy (Ro 11:11, 14), shall then produce the desired effect.
