Definitions for Isaiah 43:7
Clarke's Isaiah 43:7 Bible Commentary
Every one that is called by my name - All who worship the true God, and are obedient to his laws.
I have created him - בראתיו berathiv. I have produced him out of nothing.
For my glory - Ten MSS., three ancient, and the Syriac and Vulgate, read לכבודי licabodi, without the conjunction ו vau, and.
I have formed him - יצרתיו yetsartiv. I have given him that particular form and shape which are best suited to his station in life.
I have made him - עשיתיו asithiv. I have adapted him to the accomplishment of my counsels and designs.
Barnes's Isaiah 43:7 Bible Commentary
Every one that is called by my name - To be called by the name of anyone, is synonymous with being regarded as his son, since a son bears the name of his father (see Isaiah 44:5; Isaiah 48:1). The expression, therefore, means here, all who were regarded as the children of God; and the promise is, that all such should be re-gathered to their own land.
For I have created him - (See the note at Isaiah 43:1).
For my glory - In order to show forth, and illustrate my glory. They shall be, therefore, defended and protected; and my glory shall be shown in their recovery and salvation.
Wesley's Isaiah 43:7 Bible Commentary
43:7 For my glory - And therefore I will glorify my power and goodness, and faithfulness in delivering them. Formed - I have not only created them out of nothing, but I have also formed and made them my peculiar people.
