Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 58:14

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord,.... In his perfections; in his omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, eternity, immutability, holiness, justice, truth, and faithfulness; in his wisdom,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 58:14

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 58:14

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord: this hath reference to the foregoing verse. If thou wilt delight thyself in the sabbath, then thou shalt delight in the God of the sabbath; or thou shalt have cause to delight in the Lord, viz. in his goodness and faithfulness to thee, and so shalt live by faith in him as the Fountain of all good, as , in the assurance of his love and favour, , and that in great abundance, ; such delights as no wicked man call have, . I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth; thou shalt be above the reach of danger, . Or it may have respect to their being brought out of Babylon, which lay very low in respect of Judea, called the earth, as it is elsewhere, ; and high, both in respect of the situation of it, as also its mountainousness. Or the expression may import the subduing of their enemies, as it is . Riding is oft used for conquering, ; see the note there; . The sense is, they shall come out of Babylon, not sneakingly, as on foot, but triumphantly and gloriously, riding, as God brought Israel out of Egypt harnessed, in good order, and with a high hand; or, they shall ride to and fro in their chariots at their pleasure. And feed thee with the heritage of Jacob, i.e. thou shalt enjoy the good of the land of Canaan, which God had promised as a heritage of Jacob and his seed, , and feed on the fruits of it. Quest. Why doth he say of the heritage of Jacob, and not of Abraham or Isaac. Answ. Because the whole posterity of Jacob was within the covenant, but Ishmael and Esau, one the seed of Isaac, the other the seed of Abraham, were both excluded. For the mouth of the Lord: this is to express the certainty and indubitableness of it, being from the mouth of him who cannot lie: see of the same expression of assurance, 40:5. And this Calvin refers both to what was spoken in the beginning of the chapter, that it was in vain for those hypocrites to contend with God; and also as the confirmation of his promise, if they would rightly observe those promises. The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it: he speaks of himself, as of a man, by a prosopopoeia; or it may relate to the prophet, the Lord, whose mouth and instrument I am.

Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 58:14

Isaiah 58:14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].Ver. 14. Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord.] Find such inexplicable sweetness in communion with God, use of his heart ravishing ordinances, meditation on his word and works, especially that of our redemption, as far far exceedeth all the dirty delights of profane sensualists and Sabbath breakers. And I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth.] Yea, upon the heights of heaven, where thou shalt keep an everlasting Sabbath, in which all Sabbaths meet, and whereof there is no evening; - ανεσπεροςημερα. And feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father,] i.e., With heavenly manna, such food as eye hath not seen, ear heard, or mouth of natural man ever tasted. For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.] The Lord, cuius ego sum os et organon, will certainly do all this; you may build upon it.

Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 58:14

(14) I will cause thee to ride upon the high, places of the earth.—Better, of the land: i.e., of Canaan, the idea being that of a victorious march to occupy all commanding positions, and thus connecting itself with the full enjoyment of the heritage of Israel in the next clause.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 58:14

Verse 14. Then shalt thou delight thyself] If all fasts and religious observances be carried on in the spirit and manner recommended above, God's blessing will attend every ordinance. But in public fasts, prescribed not in the Book of God, but by the rulers of nations in general (very unfit persons) care should be taken that the cause is good, and that God's blessing may be safely implored in it. France has lately fasted and prayed that they might be able to subjugate Spain, restore and establish the horrible inquisition, and utterly destroy all the liberties of the people!
