Note 1 — ISAIAH. (continued 10)

Cheyne translates and comments: “Or else. . . . A truly evangelical belief that God is willing to be reconciled even to His enemies. . . . Seize upon my fortress—Let him take sanctuary in the Name of Jehovah (Prov. xviii. 10); in short, let him become a believing servant of Jehovah. ‘Fortress,’ a symbolical name for a protecting deity, as xvii. 10, Ps. lii. 7 (9).” Kay: “Or, ‘Let a man lay hold of My strong refuge;’ let him flee to my altar of reconciliation (cf. 1 Kings i. 50).”
