This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
holes - caught by their foes in the caverns where they had sought refuge [Barnes]. Or bound in subterranean dungeons [Maurer].
prison-houses - either literal prisons, or their own houses, whence they dare not go forth for fear of the enemy. The connection is: Notwithstanding God’s favor to His people for His righteousness’ sake (Isa 42:21), they have fallen into misery (the Babylonish and Romish captivities and their present dispersion), owing to their disregard of the divine law: spiritual imprisonment is included (Isa 42:7).
none saith, Restore - There is no deliverer (Isa 63:5).
