This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; whereas your land was filled with thorns and briers, as was foretold, Isa_7:24, they shall be rooted out, and it shall be planted with fir trees and myrtle trees, and such other trees which are useful either for fruit or for delight. Or this promise may be answerable to that Eze_28:24, There shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn, &c., but instead of them shall be such trees as shall yield shade and refreshment. The meaning is, The church shall be delivered from pernicious men and things, and replenished with sincere and serious believers, and with all sorts of Divine graces and blessings.



It shall be to the Lord for a name; this wonderful change shall bring much honour to that God by whom it is wrought.



For an everlasting sign; for a monument or evident and glorious token of God’s infinite power, and faithfulness, and love to his people unto all succeeding generations.



That shall not be cut off; which shall never be abolished, but shall always live and flourish in the minds and mouths of men.
