Isaiah 3:10

“Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him], &c.] The Lord always has some righteous ones, in the worst of times, whom he can and does distinguish, single out, and take care of; and it is his will that they should be comforted by his prophets and ministers, who seem to be the persons to whom these words are directed, lest they should be distressed with what is said unto, and what they see is coming upon, the world, or upon a nation in general: and it will be, and is well with such, when calamities are on a nation, in a time of famine, war, or pestilence, under any affliction whatever at death, and at judgment, and to all eternity; the Lord has the highest regard for them;…”

“The faithlessness of many is no proof that all are faithless. Though nothing but croaking of frogs is heard on the surface of the pool, we are not to infer there are no fish beneath [BENGEL]. (See Isa 1:19-20). fruit of doings-- (Pro 1:31) in a good sense (Gal 6:8; Rev 22:14). Not salvation by works, but by fruit-bearing faith (Isa 45:24; Jer 23:6). GESENIUS and WEISS translate, Declare as to the righteous that, &c. MAURER, "Say that the righteous is blessed."”

“Say ye to the righteous - The meaning of this verse and the following is sufficiently plain, though expositors have given some variety of interpretation. They declare a great principle of the divine administration similar to what is stated in Isaiah 1:19-20.

The Septuagint has rendered this in a remarkable manner, connecting it with the previous verse: ‘Wo unto their soul, for they take evil counsel among themselves, saying, ‘Let us bind the…”

“Say ye - O ye priests and Levites, that God will be their safeguard and portion. Isaiah 3:12”

“3:10 The godly—the righteous remnant—will receive God’s rewards (see 40:10).”

“Say ye: Isa 26:20, Isa 26:21; Ecc 8:12; Jer 15:11; Eze 9:4, Eze 18:9-19; Zep 2:3; Mal 3:18; Rom 2:5-11 they shall eat: Psa 18:23, Psa 18:24, Psa 128:1, Psa 128:2; Gal 6:7, Gal 6:8; Heb 6:10 Isaiah 3:11”

“The prophet's meaning is evident enough. But inasmuch as it is the curse of sin to distort the knowledge of what is most obvious and self-evident, and even to take it entirely away, the prophet dwells still longer upon the fact that all sinning is self-destruction and self-murder, placing this general truth against its opposite in a palillogical Johannic way, and calling out to his contemporaries in Isa 3:10, Isa 3:11 : "Say of the righteous, that it is well with him; for they will enjoy the fruit of their doings.
