Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 50:5

5 The LORD GOD hath opened mine ear , and I was not rebellious , neither turned away back .

Hath revealed unto me: or rather, hath given me a power and Will to hear and receive his commands, as this Phrase is used, Psal. 40. 6. Isa. 35. 5. and elsewhere.

I readily did and suffered what he required of me.

The same thing repeated in other words. I did not turn away mine Ear from hearing any of Gods Commands, nor my feet from going where God sent me, how difficult or dangerous soever my employment was. He seems to allude to the former Prophets who had, di[illegible: 1+ letters]rs of them, shrunk back, and for a time refused such work as God called them to, as Moses, Exod. 3. 11, 13. Ionas, ch. 1. 3. and others.
