Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 43:26

26. Put me in remembrance : let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayst be justified.

I remember nothing by which thou hast deserved my favour and the pardon of thy sins, if thou knowest any such thing, bring it to my mind, I allow thee free liberty to plead with me, as it follows, and if thou hast right on thy side, I will justifie thee. It is an ironical speech, whereby he insulteth over those, who were puffed up with an opinion of their own innocency, and merit; which was the case of many Iews, as this and other Prophets have oft observed.
