This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_16:4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
Ver. 4. Let mine outcasts.] Who are dear to me, {Jer_30:17} though I may seem to have cast off the care of them. Outcasts they may be, but not castaways. See Isa_52:5-6; "Persecuted, but not forsaken." {2Co_4:9} "Bowels of mercy" must be "put on" towards godly exiles especially, who are Dei öõãáäåò , and should therefore be dear to us.
For the extortioner is at an end.] Heb., Emunctor, the milker, or squeezer, or wringer out, {Pro_30:33} so the Assyrian tyrant is called; as also Vastator et proculcator, the spoiler or plunderer; and conculcator, the oppressor or treader down, is consumed out of the land; and it shall not be long ere I fetch home my banished; be content therefore to harbour them awhile; herein thou shalt do thyself no disservice at all.
