Keep silence before me, O coastlands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together for judgment.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 41:1 Go To Isaiah 41
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
“Be you renewed, O islands,” because, just like islands, we are surrounded on the sea of this world by waves of sin. These islands were renewed by the forgiveness of sins through the coming of the Lord.
