Analysis & Commentary
The chapter concludes triumphantly: 'In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.' The Hebrew 'tsadaq' (be justified/declared righteous) anticipates Pauline theology. All Israel's 'seed' (zera - offspring, both physical and spiritual) finds righteousness and glorying in the LORD alone.
