Study Note
The declaration that 'in the LORD all the descendants of Israel will be found righteous and will exult' concludes the oracle of universal salvation (45:22-25) and grounds Israel's justification in divine faithfulness rather than human merit. The verb 'will be justified' (yitzdaku) uses the same root (ts-d-q) as the covenant righteousness throughout the Hebrew Bible, linking divine declaration to the relational framework of the covenant. Paul's extensive use of Isaiah 40-55 in Romans develops this theme: the righteousness of God (Romans 1:17; 3:21) is the fulfillment of Deutero-Isaiah's promise of divine vindicating action on behalf of the people. The verse anticipates the New Testament connection between justification, the people of God, and eschatological exultation.
