Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 40:10

10. Behold the Lord GOD will come with strong hand , and his arms shall rule for him ; behold, his reward is with him , and his work before him .

With invincible strength conquering all his enemies. The word Hand or Arm, may very well be understood out of the following clause.

He shall need no succours, for his own power shall be sufficient to govern his People, and to destroy his Adversaries.

He comes furnished with recompences as well of Mercy and Blessings for his friends and followers, as of Justice and Vengeance for his enemies.

He carrieth on his work or design effectually, so as none can hinder him: for that is said in Scripture to be before a man which is in his Power, as Gen. 20. 15. and 24. 51. &c. Or Work is here put for the reward of the Work▪ as it is, Isa. 49. 4. and 65. 7. and elsewhere. And so the same thing is repeated in other words, as is very usual.

Marginal references: Or, against the strong.; Chap. 62. 11.; Or, recompence for his work.
