Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 33:24

"And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity." — Isaiah 33:24 (ASV)

The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick ... —The words seem to have had their starting point in the pestilence which attacked the Assyrian army, and which had probably been felt, during the siege, in Jerusalem itself. The prophet, seeing in such a pestilence the punishment of iniquity, couples together the two blessings of health and pardon. Healthy, because holy, was his report as to the restored Jerusalem. .
