Commentary
I . . . us--The change of number indicates the Trinity (compare Gen 1:26; Gen 11:7). Though not a sure argument for the doctrine, for the plural may indicate merely majesty, it accords with that truth proved elsewhere. Whom . . . who--implying that few would be willing to bear the self-denial which the delivering of such an unwelcome message to the Jews would require on the part of the messenger (compare Ch1 29:5). Here am I--prompt zeal, now that he has been specially qualified for it (Isa 6:7; compare Sa1 3:10-11; Act 9:6).
