Isaiah 45:24
Douay-Rheims
For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.
Ibn Ezra
לי Unto me. The pronoun of the first person refers to the prophet. He declares, that he does not know these future events by the aid of his reason, but by the Lord alone, who informed him of these things of righteousness and strength. It is more correct to explain the verse thus : Surely in the Lord, alone is righteousness and strength, the words לי אמר are a relative sentence signifying who spoke unto me. עדיו To Him. Comp. Am. 4:6
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
