‏ Isaiah 40:10-11

40:10 ^a The Lord’s rule is not like that of the unjust and powerless rulers whom he will judge. It is compassionate, just, righteous, and powerful.

• with a powerful arm: God manifested his power in events such as the defeat of the Egyptians (63:12 ^b), the judgment of his enemies (30:30 ^c; 48:14 ^d; 51:9 ^e), and the rescue of his people (59:16 ^f).
40:11 ^g Isaiah used the familiar biblical metaphor of a shepherd to speak of God’s care for his people (see also 49:10 ^h; Ps 23:1 ⁱ; Jer 3:15 ^j; 23:4 ^k; Ezek 34:11-17 ^l; Matt 2:6 ^m; John 10:1-18 ⁿ).
