Isaiah 45:24

Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: [even] to him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

Ver. 24. Surely shall one say.] This shall be the Christian confession, "In the Lord have I righteousness," &c. - "Righteousness," i.e., mercy to those that come over to him, and strength to enable them to come, as the sea sendeth out waters to fetch us to it.
