mine equal: Heb. according to my rank

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

13. guide-literally, "friend" (Pr 16:28; 17:9).

acquaintance-in Hebrew, a yet more intimate associate.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

55:9-15 No wickedness so distresses the believer, as that which he witnesses in those who profess to be of the church of God. Let us not be surprised at the corruptions and disorders of the church on earth, but long to see the New Jerusalem. He complains of one that had been very industrious against him. God often destroys the enemies of the church by dividing them. And an interest divided against itself cannot long stand. The true Christian must expect trials from professed friends, from those with whom he has been united; this will be very painful; but by looking unto Jesus we shall be enabled to bear it. Christ was betrayed by a companion, a disciple, an apostle, who resembled Ahithophel in his crimes and doom. Both were speedily overtaken by Divine vengeance. And this prayer is a prophecy of the utter, the everlasting ruin, of all who oppose and rebel against the Messiah.


2 Samuel 15:12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
Job 19:14 "My relatives have failed, And my intimate friends have forgotten me.
Psalm 41:9 Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me. (NASB ©1995)
