Isaiah 49:2
made .................. made <07760> [he hath made.]
hollow <06738> [in the.]
made .................. made ..... sharpened <07760 01305> [made me.]
The polished shaft, says Bp. Lowth, denotes the same efficacious word which is before represented by the sharp sword. The doctrine of the gospel pierced the hearts of its hearers, "bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."
