Isaiah 28:5

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"In that day will Jehovah of hosts become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people;" — Isaiah 28:5 (ASV)

In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory. —The words are obviously used in direct contrast with the crown of pride in Isaiah 28:1-3. The true glory of the people for the remnant that should be left of Israel, as well as Judah, should be found in the presence of Jehovah, whom they would then acknowledge. In the gathering of some of the Ten Tribes at Hezekiah's passover (2 Chronicles 30:11) there had already been an earnest of such a restored union.
