Jews interpret the Servant as being Israel - who like Zedekiah disobeyed God and was punished, yet also used by Him in a great way. | |

| Oct 11, 2023 at 1:26 | comment | added | Vincent Wong | If DH agreed that the prophecy refers to a suffering servant, how could he have found Zedekiah to be a qualified suffering servant of God? Zedekiah did not listen God's word through Jeremiah and surrendered to the king of Babylon. His disobedience eliminates this possibility. | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 22:46 | comment | added | Dan Fefferman | If DH is correct then then it calls into question whether the Suffering Servant he had in mind was Jesus. However just as the fact that Isaiah's prophecy of Immanuel originally referred to a child who was born in Isaiah's day and also (acc to the NT) applied to Jesus, so it might have applied to Zedekiah when it was written, and also to Jesus in Christian understanding. | |
