This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Take counsel; consider seriously among yourselves what course to take to prevent your utter ruin.
Execute judgment; do those things which are just and right, as to all men, so particularly to my people, to whom you have been most unrighteous and unmerciful.
As the night; or, as the shadow of the night, large and dark, as the shadow of the earth is in the night season. The meaning is, Conceal and protect my people in the time of their distress and danger, as this metaphor is explained in the rest of this and in the following verse.
The outcasts; mine outcasts, as it follows, Isa_16:4, those of my people which are driven out of their land.
Bewray not him that wandereth unto their enemies, as thou hast treacherously done in former times.
