The title "Redeemer" reflects God's covenant relationship with Israel, highlighting His role in delivering and restoring His people. The "Holy One of Israel" underscores His unique and set-apart nature, often used in Isaiah to emphasize God's purity and righteousness. This introduction sets the tone for a divine proclamation, affirming God's authority and faithfulness.to Him who was despised and abhorred by the nation This refers to the Servant, a figure often interpreted as a prophetic type of Jesus Christ. The language of being "despised and abhorred" foreshadows the rejection Christ would face, as seen in the New Testament (e.g., <a href="/john/1-11.htm">John 1:11</a>, <a href="/isaiah/53-3.htm">Isaiah 53:3</a>). Historically, Israel itself experienced periods of being despised by other nations, but this phrase is more directly connected to the suffering servant motif, highlighting the paradox of the Messiah's rejection by His own people.to the Servant of rulers The term "Servant" is a key theme in Isaiah, often associated with the Messiah. This Servant is depicted as one who serves rulers, indicating a position of humility and submission. This can be seen as a foreshadowing of Christ's earthly ministry, where He served both God and humanity, ultimately submitting to earthly authorities (<a href="/philippians/2-7.htm">Philippians 2:7-8</a>). The phrase also suggests the eventual recognition and honor that will be given to the Servant by those in power.Kings will see You and rise, and princes will bow down This prophecy speaks to the future exaltation of the Servant. The imagery of kings rising and princes bowing signifies respect and acknowledgment of authority. This can be connected to <a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10-11</a>, where every knee will bow to Christ. Historically, it reflects the eventual recognition of God's chosen one by the nations, a theme that resonates with the universal reign of Christ in the eschatological future.because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You The reason for the Servant's exaltation is attributed to the LORD's faithfulness and His sovereign choice. God's faithfulness is a central theme throughout Scripture, assuring that His promises will be fulfilled. The phrase "who has chosen You" emphasizes divine election, a concept seen in the calling of Israel and ultimately fulfilled in Christ as the chosen Messiah.

(Comp. <a href="/psalms/105-18.htm" title="Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:">Psalm 105:18</a>.) The point of the words lies in the fact that the doer of the great work is to be despised by the world's judgment or by his own people, by proud rulers (comp. <a href="/1_corinthians/1-27.htm" title="But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;">1Corinthians 1:27</a>); and yet he, and no other, will accomplish it.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/49.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 7. - His Holy One; i.e. "the Holy One of Israel." To him whom man despiseth; literally, who is despised of souls. This is the first place in the prophecies of Isaiah where this note of the Messiah is brought forward. It is found earlier in the Psalms, as especially in <a href="/psalms/22-6.htm">Psalm 22:6</a>, et seq., "I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people;" and later on it is expanded into a chapter (ch. 53.). Whom the nation abhorreth; rather, whom mankind abhorreth. The term used is goi, which points to the Gentiles rather than to the Jews. Mankind at large dislikes a "Holy One," since he is a perpetual reproach to it (see <a href="/isaiah/30-11.htm">Isaiah 30:11</a>; and comp. Plut., 'Republ.,' 7:2, ad fin.). It is not the Jews only who exclaim in such a case, "Away with him! away with him!" (<a href="/john/19-15.htm">John 19:15</a>). There is such an antagonism between sin and holiness, that the ungodly everywhere and in all ages detest the godly and virtuous. A servant of rulers; or, a slave of despots; treated as a slave, i.e. by such irresponsible rulers as Herod (<a href="/luke/23-11.htm">Luke 23:11</a>) and Pontius Pilate (<a href="/john/19-1.htm">John 19:1, 16</a>). The "King of kings" bowed himself to a slave's death. Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship (comp. <a href="/psalms/72-10.htm">Psalm 72:10, 11</a>; <a href="/isaiah/52-15.htm">Isaiah 52:15</a>; <a href="/isaiah/50-3.htm">Isaiah 50:3, 10, 11</a>, etc.). According to a tradition - which, however, cannot be traced back to any very ancient source - the Magi who came to worship our Lord at Bethlehem were "kings." The prophecy is, however, to be regarded as having its main fulfilment in the coming to Christ of so many kings and princes, since his ascension into heaven (comp ver. 23). And the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee; rather, the Holy One of Israel, that hath chosen thee. Kings will rise from their thrones, and prostrate themselves before Messiah, convinced that Jehovah is faithful in the performance of his promises, and has chosen the Son of Mary to be the Redeemer so long announced as about to appear on earth. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/49-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Thus כֹּ֣ה (kōh) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3541.htm">Strong's 3541: </a> Like this, thus, here, now says אָֽמַר־ (’ā·mar-) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say the LORD, יְהוָה֩ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel the Redeemer גֹּאֵ֨ל (gō·’êl) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1350.htm">Strong's 1350: </a> To redeem, act as kinsman [and] Holy One קְדוֹשׁ֗וֹ (qə·ḏō·wō·šōw) Adjective - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6918.htm">Strong's 6918: </a> Sacred, God, an angel, a saint, a sanctuary of Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc to him who נֶ֜פֶשׁ (ne·p̄eš) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5315.htm">Strong's 5315: </a> A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion was despised לִבְזֹה־ (liḇ·zōh-) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_960.htm">Strong's 960: </a> To despise [and] abhorred לִמְתָ֤עֵֽב (lim·ṯā·‘êḇ) Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Participle - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8581.htm">Strong's 8581: </a> To loathe, detest by the nation, גּוֹי֙ (gō·w) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1471.htm">Strong's 1471: </a> A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locusts to the servant לְעֶ֣בֶד (lə·‘e·ḇeḏ) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5650.htm">Strong's 5650: </a> Slave, servant of rulers: מֹשְׁלִ֔ים (mō·šə·lîm) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4910.htm">Strong's 4910: </a> To rule, have dominion, reign “Kings מְלָכִים֙ (mə·lā·ḵîm) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king will see you יִרְא֣וּ (yir·’ū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> To see and rise, וָקָ֔מוּ (wā·qā·mū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6965.htm">Strong's 6965: </a> To arise, stand up, stand and princes שָׂרִ֖ים (śā·rîm) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8269.htm">Strong's 8269: </a> Chieftain, chief, ruler, official, captain, prince will bow down, וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֑וּ‪‬ (wə·yiš·ta·ḥăw·wū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hitpael - Conjunctive imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7812.htm">Strong's 7812: </a> To depress, prostrate because of לְמַ֤עַן (lə·ma·‘an) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4616.htm">Strong's 4616: </a> Purpose -- intent the LORD, יְהוָה֙ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel who אֲשֶׁ֣ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that is faithful, נֶאֱמָ֔ן (ne·’ĕ·mān) Verb - Nifal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_539.htm">Strong's 539: </a> To confirm, support the Holy קְדֹ֥שׁ (qə·ḏōš) Adjective - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6918.htm">Strong's 6918: </a> Sacred, God, an angel, a saint, a sanctuary One of Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc who has chosen you.?
