John Trapp on Isaiah 50:8-9

Ver. 8. He is near that juſtifieth me] i. e. God the Father will ſhortly clear up mine innocency, and declare me to be the Son of God (my only crime now) with power by the reſurrection from the dead. Rom. 1.4.

Who will contend with me] So Joh. 8.46. & Rom. 8.33.34. where the Apoſtle Paul, as a ſtout ſouldier and imitatour of Chriſt, the Captain of his ſalvation, uſeth the ſame argument, and teacketh us to do likewiſe.

[non-Latin text not transcribed].Ver. 9. Behold the Lord God will help me] See ver. 7.

Who is he that ſhall condemn me] If Libanius could ſay of his friend Baſil (though of a different Religion) Let but him praiſe me, and I care not who diſpraiſeth me: how much better might Chriſt and may every good Chriſtian ſay the ſame of God!

Lo, they ſhall all wax old as a garment] The Scribes and Phariſees (thoſe old cankered carles) ſhall: for of them Hierom, Cyril and others underſtand it: The Romans (according as they feared, and therefore crucified Chriſt, Joh. 11.48.) came upon them and toke away both them and their Nation.

The moth ſhall eat them up] i. e. They ſhall be irrecoverably ruined, being once laid aſide by God as an old ore-worn garment, which is made thereby meat for mothes. Thus it befel Pilat (ſaith Lyra here) baniſhed by Tiberius; and thus it beſel the Prieſts, who were burnt by Titus in the Temple: who alſo added, that it was fit that thoſe which ſerved in the Temple ſhould periſh together with it.
