The sum of this verse is, that those that should be carried into captivity should return, and upon their return they should be in their former states; both as to civil transactions, they should again marry and give in marriage; and as to civil and spiritual joy, they should publicly praise the Lord as they were wont to do in the words of David, Psalms 106:1, Psalms 107:1 118:1 136:1, (we have a record in holy writ of the fulfilling of this prophecy upon the laying the foundations of the second temple, Ezra 3:11) and offer sacrifices of thanksgiving. See Nehemiah 12:27.
