This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
save my people from ... east ... west - that is, from every region (compare Psa 50:1; the “West” is literally, “the going down of the sun”) to which they are scattered; they are now found especially in countries west of Jerusalem. The dispersion under Nebuchadnezzar was only to the east, namely, to Babylonia. The restoration, including a spiritual return to God (Zec 8:8), here foretold, must therefore be still future (Isa 11:11, Isa 11:12; Isa 43:5, Isa 43:6; Eze 37:21; Amo 9:14, Amo 9:15; also Zec 13:9; Jer 30:22; Jer 31:1, Jer 31:33).
