Context of Isaiah 46:13
11I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it. 12Listen to Me, you stubborn people, far removed from righteousness: I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion and adorn Israel with My splendor.

Commentaries on Isaiah 46:13
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13I bring near my righteousness - The word righteousness‘ here evidently denotes his truth; the fulfillment of his promises.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-13Verses 5-13 Here the folly of those who made idols, and then prayed to them, is exposed.

Many Scripture prophecies, delivered…Read the comment
