Isaiah43:9

9. who ... can declare this--who among the idolatrous soothsayers hath predicted this; that is, as to Cyrus being the deliverer of Israel?

former--predictions, as in Is 42:9 [Maurer]. Or, things that shall first come to pass (see on Is 41:21, 22) [Barnes].

let them bring forth their witnesses--as I do mine (Is 43:10).

justified--declared veracious in their pretended prophecies.

or--rather, "and"; let men hear their prediction and say, from the event, It is verified (see on Is 41:26).
