ISAIAH CHAPTER 14
Israel should be delivered from the Babylonish captivity: their triumphant insultation over Babel, Isa_14:1-23. God’s purpose against Assyria, Isa_14:24-27. Palestina is threatened, Isa_14:28-32.
The Lord will have mercy on Jacob; God will pity and deliver his people; and therefore will destroy Babylon, which hinders it, and set up Cyrus, who shall promote it.
will yet choose Israel; will renew his choice of them; for he had refused and rejected them.
The stranger shall be joined with them: so they did in part at their coming from Babylon, being thereunto moved either by the favour which the Jews had in the Persian court, or by the consideration of their wonderful deliverance, and that exactly in the time designed by their holy prophets. But what was then begun was more fully accomplished at the coming of the Messiah.
