Context of Isaiah 46:13
11From the east I am calling a bird of prey, a man for My purpose from a far country. Truly I have spoken; I will bring it to pass; I have planned it; surely I will do it. 12Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness: I bring My justice near, it is not far off. So My salvation will not delay. I put salvation in Zion, My glory in Israel.”

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13I bring near my righteousness - The word righteousness‘ here evidently denotes his truth; the fulfillment of his promises. His righteous and true character would be manifested to them so plainly and clearly that they would be able no longer to doubt. It would not be remote in time, or in place, but it would be so near that they could see it, and so plain that they could no longer doubt or misunderstand it.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-13Verses 5-13 Here the folly of those who made idols, and then prayed to them, is exposed. How does the profuseness of idolaters shame the niggardliness of many who call themselves God's servants, but are for a religion which costs them nothing!

Many Scripture prophecies, delivered…Read the comment
