Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke (comp. ver. 6). The putting forth of the finger. The pointing of the finger at any one in scorn. And speaking vanity; rather, speaking evil, or plotting evil, against others.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Then shalt thou call.--The words point to the secret of the prayer which is answered in contrast to the formal worship that found no acceptance (Isaiah 58:2; Isaiah 58:4).The putting forth of the finger.--The gesture (Cheyne compares the "infamis digitus" of Persius ii. 33) has in well-nigh all nations been a natural symbol of scorn. It is in action what the words "Raca" and "Thou fool" are in the language of Matthew 5:22.
