On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

These promises were not of private interpretation only, but were written for our learning, "that we, through patience and comfort of this scripture, might have hope." Threatenings against Israel's Enemies.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Here, though they are washing daily, there is still something that is not cleansed; but in heaven, even that also shall be done away. And the reason is because the Lord dwells in Zion, dwells with his church, and much more gloriously with that in heaven, and holiness becomes his house for ever, for which reason, where he dwells there must be, there shall be, a perfection of holiness.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

cleanse . . . blood . . . not cleansed--I will purge away from Judah the extreme guilt (represented by "blood," the shedding of which was the climax of her sin, Isa 1:15) which was for long not purged away, but visited with judgments (Isa 4:4).

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

And I will cleanse - Purge away both by the spirit of sanctification and by free pardon in the blood of the redeemer. Their blood - Their sinfulness, which before I had not taken away.
