Isaiah 51
1.An exhortation after the pattern of Abraham, to trust in Christ
3.By reason of his comfortable promises,
4.Of his righteous salvation
7.And man's mortality
9.Christ by his sanctified arm defends his from the fear of man
17.He bewails the afflictions of Jerusalem
21.And promises deliverance














Listen to Me
This phrase is a divine call to attention, emphasizing the importance of the message that follows. In the biblical context, God often calls His people to listen as a prelude to delivering crucial instructions or promises. This echoes the Shema inDeuteronomy 6:4, where Israel is called to hear and obey the Lord. It underscores the authority of God and the necessity of obedience to His voice.

you who know what is right
This refers to those who have an understanding of God's righteousness and His standards. In the context of Isaiah, it is directed towards the faithful remnant of Israel who remain committed to God's covenant. This knowledge is not merely intellectual but involves a deep, personal relationship with God, aligning with the wisdom literature that emphasizes the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).

you people with My law in your hearts
This phrase highlights the internalization of God's law, reminiscent of the new covenant promise inJeremiah 31:33, where God writes His law on the hearts of His people. It signifies a transformation from external adherence to an internalized, heartfelt obedience. This is fulfilled in the New Testament through the work of the Holy Spirit, as seen inRomans 2:15, where the law is written on the hearts of believers.

Do not fear the scorn of men
Here, God encourages His people not to be intimidated by human opposition or ridicule. Historically, the faithful in Israel often faced persecution and mockery from both within and outside their community. This exhortation is relevant throughout Scripture, as seen in the New Testament where Jesus tells His disciples not to fear those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul (Matthew 10:28).

do not be broken by their insults
This phrase reassures believers that they should not be disheartened by verbal attacks or derision. The cultural context of honor and shame in the ancient Near East made insults particularly damaging, but God calls His people to find their identity and worth in Him rather than in human approval. This is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to rejoice in persecution for righteousness' sake (Matthew 5:11-12).

Persons / Places / Events
1.Isaiah
A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book that bears his name. He prophesied to the Kingdom of Judah during a time of moral and spiritual decline.

2.The People of Judah
The original audience of Isaiah's prophecy, they were facing external threats and internal corruption. Isaiah's message was both a warning and a promise of hope.

3.God
The speaker in this verse, God is addressing His people, offering them comfort and guidance amidst their trials.

4.The Righteous
Those who "know what is right" and have God's "instruction in [their] hearts." They are encouraged to remain steadfast despite opposition.

5.Opponents
Those who offer "reproach" and "insults" to the righteous, representing the worldly opposition to God's truth.
Teaching Points
Understanding Righteousness
Righteousness is not merely about external actions but involves having God's instruction in our hearts. This internalization of God's Word is crucial for standing firm in faith.

Fearlessness in Faith
Believers are called to be fearless in the face of human reproach. Our confidence should be rooted in God's approval, not man's opinion.

Endurance Amidst Opposition
The Christian journey involves facing opposition. We are encouraged to endure, knowing that our ultimate vindication comes from God.

The Role of God's Word
Having God's instruction in our hearts equips us to withstand external pressures. Regular engagement with Scripture is essential for spiritual resilience.

Identity in Christ
Our identity as God's people should be our primary focus, shaping how we respond to criticism and challenges from the world.

What Does Isaiah 51:7 Mean
Listen to Me

“Listen to Me” (Isaiah 51:7a) is an urgent, loving summons from the LORD Himself.

• God’s voice carries ultimate authority—compareIsaiah 45:22–23 and the Father’s command at the Transfiguration, “This is My beloved Son…Listen to Him!” (Matthew 17:5).

• Faith comes by hearing His word (Romans 10:17). We tune out competing voices and give undivided attention to the One who cannot lie (Titus 1:2).

• The appeal is personal: God is not merely imparting information; He is inviting relationship, just as Jesus said, “My sheep listen to My voice” (John 10:27).

you who know what is right

The LORD addresses those already acquainted with His standard of righteousness.

• “Right” is not relative; it reflects God’s own character (Psalm 11:7).

• Believers are expected to discern and love what is right—seePsalm 1:1-2;Philippians 1:9-10.

• Knowing what is right carries responsibility: “Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, commits sin” (James 4:17).

you people with My law in your hearts

God identifies His people by the internal placement of His instruction.

• This anticipates the new-covenant promise, “I will put My law within them and write it on their hearts” (Jeremiah 31:33; echoed inHebrews 8:10).

• An internalized law produces steadfast obedience (Psalm 37:31) and authentic worship (John 4:24).

• It distinguishes true followers from mere professors—compareRomans 2:15 and2 Corinthians 3:3.

Do not fear the scorn of men

Opposition is certain, but fear is forbidden.

• “The fear of man is a snare” (Proverbs 29:25); trusting the LORD breaks that snare (Psalm 118:6).

• Jesus prepared His disciples: “Blessed are you when people revile you…for in the same way they persecuted the prophets” (Matthew 5:11-12).

• Because God is eternal and His verdict final, human ridicule cannot alter our standing (Romans 8:31).

do not be broken by their insults

Insults may sting, yet they must not shatter the believer’s confidence.

• Paul modeled resilience: “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9).

• The Spirit supplies power, love, and self-control, not timidity (2 Timothy 1:7).

• The Servant-Redeemer Himself “endured such hostility from sinners” (Hebrews 12:3; cf.Isaiah 50:6). Sharing His sufferings leads to sharing His glory (1 Peter 4:14).

summary

Isaiah 51:7 calls God’s people—those who already know righteousness and cherish His law within—to listen attentively to the LORD, reject the paralyzing fear of human scorn, and stand unbroken under insult. Confidence flows from the unchanging Word written on the heart and from the God who vindicates His servants.

(7)Ye that know righteousness.--Jehovah, through His Servant, speaks to the Israel within Israel, the Church within the Church. They need support against the scorn and reproach of men, and are to find it in the thought that the revilers perish and that Jehovah is eternal.

Verse 7. -Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness. The highest grade of faithfulness is here addressed - not those who "seek" (ver. 1), but those who have found - who "know righteousness," and have the "law" of Godin their "hearts." Such persons may still be liable to one weakness - they may "fear the reproach of men." The prophet exhorts them to put aside this fear, remembering

(1) the nothingness of humanity, and

(2) the eternity and imperishableness of God's judgments.
