Study Note
The divine command to 'speak comfortably' (literally 'speak to the heart') to Jerusalem — announcing that her warfare is accomplished, her iniquity pardoned, and double payment received — opens the great consolation section of Isaiah. The 'double' (kiflayim) has generated debate: does it mean Israel received twice what she deserved, or is it a figure for full, complete payment? Either way, the verse marks a decisive turning point: the accusation tone of Isaiah 1-39 gives way to comfort and gospel-announcement. The same Hebrew root for 'comfort' (naham) underlies Jesus' beatitude 'blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted' (Matthew 5:4), and Paul's description of God as 'the Father of mercies and God of all comfort' (2 Corinthians 1:3).
