Isaiah 60:14 The sons also of them that afflicted you shall come bending to you… A promise like this is made to the Church of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:9); and it is intended to be — 1. A mortification to the proud oppressors of the Church. 2. An exaltation to the poor, oppressed ones of the Church. 3. And this is the honour that shall be done them: they shall have an opportunity of doing good to those who have done evil to them, and saving those alive that have afflicted and despised them. It is a pleasure to a good man, and he accounts it an honour, to show mercy to those with whom he has found no mercy. ( M. Henry.) Parallel Verses KJV: The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. |
