Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - Hearken unto me; rather, attend to me - a stronger term than "hearken" - attend, and hear of a greater blessing than the restoration of the land of Judah to cultivation and fruitfulness. God, enthroned anew in Zion, will from thence send forth his light and his truth to the nations, will make his Law known to them, and allow them to partake of his salvation. O my nation. Some manuscripts have "O ye nations." But the reading is undoubtedly a wrong one. A law shall proceed from me. The Christian "law" - the new covenant - is probably intended. This became, by the preaching of the apostles, a light of the people, or rather, of the peoples.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) A law shall proceed.--"Law" and "judgment" include all forms of divine revelation, and specially the "glad tidings" which are the groundwork of the highest law. (Comp. Luke 1:77; Romans 1:17.)
