Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 52:15

15 So shall he sprinkle many nations, the kings shall shut their mouths at him : for that which had not been told them shall they see , and that which they had not heard shall they consider .

His Exaltation shall be answerable to his Humiliation.

Either 1. With his Blood, which is called, the blood of sprinkling, Heb. 12. 24. or, shall justifie them, as it follows, Isa. 53. 11. which is frequently expressed by washing▪ as Psal. 51. 2, 7. Ezek. 16. 9. and by sprinkling clean water, Ezek. 36. 25. Or 2. With his Word or Doctrine; which being oft compared to Rain or Waters, as Deut. 32. 2. Isa. 55. 10, 11. Habak. 2. 14. &c. may be said to be sprinkled, as it is said to be dropped, Deut. 32. 2. Ezek. 20. 46. & 21. 2. And this sense seems to be most favoured by the following words.

Shall be silent before him out of a profound Humility, and Reverence, and Admiration of his Wisdom, and an eager desire to hear and receive Counsels and Oracles from his Mouth. Compare Iob 29. 9, 10, 11, 21. They shall no more contend with him, nor blaspheme the true God and Religion, as they formerly used to do.

For they shall hear from his Mouth many excellent Doctrines, which also will be new and strange to them, such as Men are very desirous to hear. And particularly they shall hear from him that comfortable Doctrine concerning the Conversion and Salvation of the Gentiles, which was not only new to them▪ but was strange and incredible to the most of the Jews themselves.

Or, they shall understand. Which is added to shew that the seeing in the former clause was meant of discerning these things with the Eyes of their Minds.
