Isaiah 16:1 Send you the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.… It is applicable to the great Gospel duty of submission to Christ, as the Ruler of the land and our Ruler. 1. Send Him the lamb, the best you have, yourselves a living sacrifice. 2. When you come to God, the great Ruler, come in the name of the Lamb, the Lamb of God. 3. Those that will not submit to Christ, nor be gathered unto the shadow of His wings, shall be as a bird that wanders from her nest (ver. 2), that shall either be snatched up by the next bird of prey, or shall wander endlessly in continual frights. Those that will not yield to the fear of God shall be made to yield to the fear of everything else. ( M. Henry.) Parallel Verses KJV: Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. |
