Doctrine of Atonement
The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord,
and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel. . . .
And those who go astray in spirit will come to understanding,
and those who murmur will accept instruction.
—English Standard Version
“Meek” and “poor” may describe God’s people as a whole or individuals who are humble or needy. Either way, Isaiah prophesies restoration and deliverance.
