Isaiah 56:1

CHAPTER LVI

Whoever would partake of the blessings of the Gospel is

required to be holy in all manner of life and conversation.

And he that will be so is declared to be accepted according to

this gracious dispensation, the blessings of which are large as

the human race, without any respect to persons or to nations,

1-8.

At the ninth verse begins a different subject, or new section

of prophecy. It opens with calling on the enemies of the Jews,

(the Chaldeans, or perhaps the Romans,) as beasts of prey

against them, for the sins of their rulers, teachers, and other

profane people among them, whose guilt drew down judgments on

the nation, 9-12.
