This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thy Maker; he who made thee out of nothing, and therefore can easily fulfil all these promises, how unlikely soever they seem to be; and he who made thee a people, and, which is far more and better, his people, and therefore will not easily nor utterly forsake thee.
Is thine husband; he will own thee for his spouse, and will do the part of a husband to thee.
The Lord of hosts; who hath the sovereign command of all men and creatures, and therefore can subdue the Gentiles to thee, and can make thee to increase and multiply in so prodigious a measure, even in thine old age, notwithstanding thy barrenness in the days of thy youth, of which he speaketh in the foregoing verse.
The God of the whole earth; the God and Father of all nations; whereas formerly he was called only
the God of Israel, and the Gentiles had no special relation to him, nor interest in his covenant and favour, as was observed, Psa_147:19,20, and elsewhere.
