It emphasizes His eternal, self-existent nature and His role as the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of the universe. In the context of Isaiah, "The LORD" is a reminder of God's faithfulness to His people, Israel, and His ultimate authority over all nations. The Hebrew root for "LORD" is YHWH, which is considered sacred and is often rendered as "Adonai" in Jewish tradition to avoid pronouncing the divine name.<p><b>will go out</b><br />This phrase suggests action and movement, indicating that God is not passive but actively involved in the affairs of the world. The Hebrew verb used here can imply going forth with purpose and determination. Historically, this reflects God's intervention in human history, particularly in delivering His people and executing judgment against their enemies.<p><b>like a mighty man</b><br />The imagery of a "mighty man" conveys strength, power, and valor. In ancient Near Eastern culture, a mighty man would be a warrior or hero, someone who is formidable in battle. This metaphor highlights God's omnipotence and His ability to overcome any opposition. It reassures believers of God's capability to protect and deliver them from their adversaries.<p><b>He will stir up His zeal</b><br />The word "zeal" in Hebrew is often associated with passionate intensity and fervor. It reflects God's deep commitment to His purposes and His people. This phrase suggests that God is not indifferent but is deeply invested in the well-being of His creation. His zeal is a driving force that compels Him to act on behalf of justice and righteousness.<p><b>with a shout</b><br />The imagery of a shout is one of power and authority. In biblical times, a shout could signal the beginning of a battle or a call to action. It signifies God's commanding presence and His ability to rally His forces. This also echoes the idea of divine proclamation, where God's voice alone can bring about change and transformation.<p><b>He will raise a war cry</b><br />A "war cry" is a loud call used to inspire troops and intimidate the enemy. This phrase underscores the idea of God as a divine warrior who leads His people into victory. It reflects the biblical theme of God fighting on behalf of His people, ensuring their triumph over spiritual and physical foes.<p><b>He will triumph over His enemies</b><br />The concept of triumph indicates complete and decisive victory. In the biblical narrative, God's enemies are often those who oppose His will and oppress His people. This phrase assures believers of God's ultimate victory over evil and His ability to establish His kingdom of peace and righteousness. It is a promise of hope and deliverance for those who trust in Him.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/42.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(13) <span class= "bld">The Lord shall go forth . . .</span>--The boldly anthropomorphic image prepares the way for the yet more awful picture of <a href="/isaiah/63-1.htm" title="Who is this that comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.">Isaiah 63:1</a>, which belongs outwardly to the same region. As if roused from slumber, Jehovah stirs up His jealous indignation against the idols, which had seemed to sleep, and rushes to the battle as with the war-cry of a mighty one.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/42.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 13.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The Lord shall go forth</span>. The exhortation to "sing unto the Lord a new song" ends with ver. 12, and now the reason or groundwork for the exhortation has to be declared. God is about to make one of the great manifestations of his power upon the earth - to "<span class="accented">go</span> forth" against his enemies, and destroy and devour, and easily prevail against them - not, however, simply in the way of punishment and vengeance, but with a further merciful object. He will punish Babylon, that he may deliver Israel. He has promised not to forsake his people (<a href="/isaiah/41-17.htm">Isaiah 41:17</a>). He is now about to give effect to his promise by a "new" and strange deliverance. He "will bring his people by a way that they knew not, and lead them in paths that they have not known" (ver. 16). It has been said that "in effect it is the day of judgment which is here described" (Cheyne); but this seems to be only so far true as every manifestation of God's wrath towards his enemies is a foreshadowing of the great and awful day. The event directly in view is the destruction of the Babylonian power by the irresistible arms of Cyrus. Hence the allusion to idolaters and images in ver. 17. <span class="cmt_word">As a mighty man... like a man of war</span>. (For similar anthropomorpbisms, see <a href="/exodus/15-3.htm">Exodus 15:3</a>; <a href="/psalms/24-8.htm">Psalm 24:8</a>.) <span class="cmt_word">He shall stir up jealousy</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> his own jealousy.

He is jealous for his own honour (<span class="accented">supra</span>, ver. 8), and jealous also for his people's honour and reputation and happiness. Occasionally he allows his jealousy to slumber (comp. <a href="/acts/12.htm">Acts 12</a>:30, "The times of this ignorance God winked at"); and this he had now done for some fifty or sixty years, since his people were carried into captivity. But the time of acquiescence has gone by - he is about to waken up his "smouldering jealousy, and stir it, till it burns up into a bright flame" (Delitzsch). <span class="cmt_word">He shall cry, yea, roar</span>; rather, <span class="accented">yea</span>, <span class="accented">shout</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> utter his battle-cry with a clear, loud voice. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/42-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">The LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָה֙</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
