Commentary on Isaiah 45:22

HENRY_FULL · Isaiah 45:22

The tree is known by its fruits, a man by his doings, even a young tree by its first fruits, a child by his childish things, whether his work be clean only, appearing good (the word is used ch. xvi. 2 ), or whether it be right, that is, really good.
