This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
captive exile - literally, one bowed down as a captive (Isa 10:4) [Maurer]. The scene is primarily Babylon, and the time near the close of the captivity. Secondarily, and antitypically, the mystical Babylon, the last enemy of Israel and the Church, in which they have long suffered, but from which they are to be gloriously delivered.
pit - such as were many of the ancient dungeons (compare Jer 38:6, Jer 38:11, Jer 38:13; Gen 37:20).
nor ... bread ... fail - (Isa 33:16; Jer 37:21).
