Summary

  • Those who do justice/righteousness are the ones who will experience God's salvation/blessing. This passage is part of a wider context (several chapters long), an invitation to repentance and restoration.


Details and/or Comments

  • Previous verses (Isaiah 55:12-13) describe the restoration of the land that will come with God's deliverance. (And before that, in verses 6-7, is a call to repentance - the prerequisite to restoration.)
  • These verses here (56:1-2) focus on the moral obligations of those who want to have a part in that salvation/blessing.
