Isaiah 60:14

Isaiah 60:14

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The sons (i.e. descendants) also of them that afflicted thee; i.e. of the various nations that at different times oppressed and afflicted Israel—as Egyptians, Canaanites, Philistines, Assyrians, Babylonians, Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, etc.

Shall come bending unto thee. Bowing themselves down to the new Israel—the Israel of God—as the eleven sheaves bowed themselves down to Joseph's sheaf (). At the soles of thy feet (comp. ).

Shall call thee, The city of the Lord. Hitherto her enemies had bestowed on Jerusalem disparaging names, as "Forsaken,'' or "Desolate" (). Now they will substitute for such names titles of honour, such as "City of Jehovah," "Zion of Israel's Holy One."
