Isaiah 40:1-2 (KJV)
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.
The tone in this chapter seems to be consolatory but the double is not clear to which it refers to.
There seems to be some ambiguity in the above text
Does this refer to double chastisement for sins committed or double recompense after iniquity had been pardoned?
