This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Isa_52:2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, [and] sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

Ver. 2. Shake thyself from the dust.] Wherein thou layest along when trampled on. {Isa_51:23}



Arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem.
] Rather, Arise, sit up, O Jerusalem. It hath been noted before, that when Vespasian had subdued Judea, money was stamped with a woman sitting in the dust, with this inscription, Iudaea subacta.



Loose thyself from the bonds of thy neck.] From thy spiritual servitude especially. {as Luk_1:74 Rom_6:19} Shake the devil’s yoke from off thy neck, gestague monilia sponsae et libertatis, and get on the spouse’s ornaments.
