This phrase emphasizes God's sovereignty and creative power. It echoes <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a>, where God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. The rhetorical question underscores that everything in existence is a result of God's handiwork, aligning with passages like <a href="/psalms/24.htm">Psalm 24:1</a>, which states, "The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it." This serves as a reminder of God's ultimate authority over creation, contrasting human efforts and achievements with divine omnipotence.And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. This statement affirms the reality and existence of creation as a direct act of God. It reflects the biblical theme of God speaking things into existence, as seen in <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>, where God’s word brings forth creation. The phrase "declares the LORD" adds weight, indicating divine proclamation and authority. It also connects to <a href="/john/1-3.htm">John 1:3</a>, which states, "Through Him all things were made," pointing to the involvement of the Word, Jesus Christ, in creation.This is the one I will esteem: Here, God identifies the qualities He values in individuals. The term "esteem" suggests honor and favor, indicating that God looks beyond external rituals and appearances to the heart's condition. This aligns with <a href="/1_samuel/16-7.htm">1 Samuel 16:7</a>, where God tells Samuel that He looks at the heart rather than outward appearance. It sets the stage for understanding the characteristics that are pleasing to God.he who is humble and contrite in spirit, Humility and contrition are central to a right relationship with God. Humility involves recognizing one's dependence on God, while contrition implies genuine repentance and sorrow for sin. This echoes <a href="/psalms/51-17.htm">Psalm 51:17</a>, where David acknowledges that a broken and contrite heart is what God desires. These qualities contrast with pride and self-reliance, which are often condemned in Scripture, such as in <a href="/proverbs/16-18.htm">Proverbs 16:18</a>.who trembles at My word. Trembling at God's word signifies reverence and awe for divine revelation. It implies a deep respect and willingness to obey God's commands. This attitude is seen in <a href="/nehemiah/8-5.htm">Nehemiah 8:5-6</a>, where the people stand in reverence as the Book of the Law is read. It also connects to the New Testament, where Jesus emphasizes the importance of hearing and doing God's word in <a href="/matthew/7-24.htm">Matthew 7:24-27</a>.

The most stately temple is to Him as the infinitely little. What He does delight in is something which is generically different, the spiritual life which answers to His own, the "contrite heart," which is the true correlative of His own holiness. He who offers that is a true worshipper, with or without the ritual of worship; in its absence, all worship is an abomination to the Eternal. Here 1 and 2 Isaiah are essentially one in teaching. (Comp. <a href="/context/isaiah/1-11.htm" title="To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? said the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.">Isaiah 1:11-18</a>; <a href="/isaiah/57-15.htm" title="For thus said the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.">Isaiah 57:15</a>.)<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/66.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 2. - All these things - i.e. heaven and earth hath mine hand made; i.e. have I, Jehovah, brought into existence.

The sentence will then run, "I spoke, and all these things crone into being, saith Jehovah;" i.e. heaven and earth, and all things that are therein, came into being at my word (comp. <a href="/genesis/1-1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a>; <a href="/genesis/2-1.htm">Genesis 2:1</a>).
