This phrase introduces a divine promise, emphasizing God's initiative in establishing a covenant. In biblical context, a covenant is a solemn agreement between God and His people, often involving promises and obligations. This echoes earlier covenants, such as those with Noah (Genesis 9), Abraham (Genesis 15), and Moses (Exodus 19-24). The use of "them" refers to the people of Israel, highlighting God's ongoing relationship with His chosen people. This covenant is unconditional, underscoring God's faithfulness despite Israel's failures.“My Spirit will not depart from you,” The promise of the Spirit's enduring presence is significant. In the Old Testament, the Spirit of God would come upon individuals for specific purposes (e.g., judges, prophets, kings). Here, the promise is of a permanent indwelling, foreshadowing the New Covenant reality fulfilled in the New Testament (<a href="/john/14-16.htm">John 14:16-17</a>, <a href="/acts/2.htm">Acts 2</a>). This assurance of the Spirit's presence is a source of comfort and empowerment for God's people, indicating a shift from temporary to perpetual guidance and support.“and My words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth” This phrase emphasizes the enduring nature of God's word. The idea of God putting words in someone's mouth is reminiscent of the prophetic calling (e.g., <a href="/jeremiah/1-9.htm">Jeremiah 1:9</a>). It signifies divine inspiration and authority. The promise that these words will not depart suggests a continuous proclamation and adherence to God's truth. This aligns with the biblical theme of the enduring word of God (<a href="/isaiah/40-8.htm">Isaiah 40:8</a>, <a href="/matthew/24-35.htm">Matthew 24:35</a>).“or from the mouths of your children and grandchildren,” The inclusion of future generations highlights the covenant's perpetuity and the importance of passing down faith and teachings. This reflects the biblical emphasis on generational faithfulness (<a href="/deuteronomy/6-6.htm">Deuteronomy 6:6-7</a>, <a href="/psalms/78-4.htm">Psalm 78:4-7</a>). It underscores the responsibility of each generation to teach and uphold God's word, ensuring that His truth remains central in the lives of His people.“from now on and forevermore,” This phrase underscores the eternal nature of God's covenant. It assures the people of Israel that God's promises are not limited by time. This eternal perspective is a common biblical theme, reflecting God's unchanging nature and His eternal kingdom (<a href="/psalms/145-13.htm">Psalm 145:13</a>, <a href="/daniel/7-14.htm">Daniel 7:14</a>). It provides hope and assurance of God's unending faithfulness and presence.“says the LORD.” The repetition of "says the LORD" bookends the verse, emphasizing divine authority and certainty. It serves as a reminder that these promises are not human words but the declarations of the sovereign God. This assurance is foundational for faith, as it rests on the character and reliability of God Himself.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant-making God of Israel, who speaks directly to His people, promising His enduring presence and word. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_people_of_israel.htm">The People of Israel</a> The recipients of God's covenant, representing those who are in a relationship with God and are recipients of His promises. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_spirit_of_the_lord.htm">The Spirit of the LORD</a> The divine presence and power that God promises will remain with His people, signifying His ongoing relationship and guidance. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_words_of_the_lord.htm">The Words of the LORD</a> The divine revelation and truth given to the people, meant to be perpetually spoken and lived out by them and their descendants. 5. <a href="/topical/d/descendants_of_israel.htm">Descendants of Israel</a> Future generations who are included in the covenant promise, emphasizing the enduring nature of God's word and Spirit.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_everlasting_covenant.htm">The Everlasting Covenant</a> God's covenant is not temporary but eternal, emphasizing His unchanging nature and faithfulness to His promises. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_holy_spirit.htm">The Role of the Holy Spirit</a> The Spirit's presence is a sign of God's ongoing relationship with His people, empowering them to live according to His will. <a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_god's_word.htm">The Importance of God's Word</a> God's words are meant to be internalized and spoken, guiding the lives of believers and being passed down through generations. <a href="/topical/g/generational_faithfulness.htm">Generational Faithfulness</a> The promise extends to future generations, highlighting the responsibility of teaching and living out God's truth for the benefit of descendants. <a href="/topical/l/living_in_the_promise.htm">Living in the Promise</a> Believers today are called to live in the reality of God's covenant, relying on His Spirit and word for guidance and strength.<a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/59.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(21) As for me, this is my covenant . . .--The words are, as to their form, an echo of <a href="/genesis/17-4.htm" title="As for me, behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.">Genesis 17:4</a>; as to their meaning, the germ of <a href="/jeremiah/31-31.htm" title="Behold, the days come, said the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:">Jeremiah 31:31</a>; <a href="/hebrews/8-10.htm" title="For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, said the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:">Hebrews 8:10</a>; <a href="/hebrews/10-16.htm" title="This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, said the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;">Hebrews 10:16</a>.

The new covenant involved the giving of God's Spirit to his people (<a href="/joel/2-28.htm">Joel 2:28</a>); and this Spirit, it is here promised, shall not depart from God's people while time endures. The Spirit will be accompanied with certain "words" which will be put into the Church's mouth; and these words will remain unchanged and pass on from mouth to mouth, age after age, for ever. The "words" intended are probably those of the entire Bible - "all God's revelations" (Cheyne) - which the Church will maintain as inspired truth through all ages. Upon thee; i.e. upon Israel.
