Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 64:5

5 Thou meetest him that rejoyceth, and worketh righteousness , those that remember thee in thy ways . behold, thou art wroth, for we have sinned : in tho[illegible: 1+ letters]e is continuance n, and we shall be saved .

Or, wast w[illegible: 1+ letters]t to meet: Or, thou preventest him ch. 65. 24. and Psal. 21. 2, 3. as the Father the Prodigal.

[illegible: 1+ letters]iz. That rejoyce to work Righteousness, the same thing expressed by two words, by a figure called Hendiadis.

An amplification of the former words, q. d. To walk in thy w[illegible: 1+ letters]s, whether of Providence, Prece[illegible: 1+ letters]t, or Counsel, by vertue of the Covenant they have with [illegible: 1 word].

Or, greatly angry, for, or because we have sinned, and provoked thee to wrath thereby, 1 King. 8. 46. i. e. to those that work Righteousness: in for to.

[illegible: 1+ letters]iz. In so doing, in working. Righteousness. Or as some by way of Interrogation; in those, i. e. In o[illegible: 1+ letters]r sins i[illegible: 1+ letters] continuance, and shall we be saved? Or in those viz. Works of Righteousness, in keeping in them is our continuance, and means to be saved; or thou continuest to shew mercy, and or therefore we shall be saved. The meaning of the place is to comfort the go[illegible: 1+ letters]y, that though they may have provoked God by their sins, [illegible: 1+ letters]et looking upon the ways of God's former proceedings (in which he still continues being unhcangeable) they may find hopes of Salv[illegible: 1+ letters]ion, and this is that which is amplified in the three following [illegible: 1 word].
