| Isaiah 41:1 | Let the islands keep silence before me, and the nations take new strength: let them come near, and then speak: let us come near to judgment together. | Islands, near Asia, whose conversion Isaias often predicts, (Calmet) as he does that of all nations. (Haydock) --- God continues to prove his divinity, (Calmet) expostulating with idolaters, whose conversion is insinuated, and among the rest that of Britain, which is the most renowned island in Europe. (Bristow, anot. 11.) (Worthington) |
