This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And as Esaias said - “hath said”
before - that is, probably in an earlier part of his book, namely, Isa 1:9.
Except the Lord of Sabaoth - that is, “The Lord of Hosts”: the word is Hebrew, but occurs so in the Epistle of James (Jam 5:4), and has thence become naturalized in our Christian phraseology.
had left us a seed - meaning a “remnant”; small at first, but in due time to be a seed of plenty (compare Psa 22:30, Psa 22:31; Isa 6:12, Isa 6:13).
we had been - “become”
as Sodom, etc. - But for this precious seed, the chosen people would have resembled the cities of the plain, both in degeneracy of character and in merited doom.
