Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Isaiah 14:1

CONTENTS

This chapter is explanatory of the former. The Lord showeth the causes of Babylon's ruin, to avenge the cause of his people, and to punish their enemies.

Isaiah 14:1

What a beautiful opening is here! And now while we are enabled to read the prophecies, unfolded and fulfilled in Christ, how is the whole explained to our clearest apprehension! Reader! though the final accomplishment of this prophecy refers to the restoration of the Jews, when all the Gentiles shall be gathered in, yet the Lord's mercy to his people, whom he foreknew, is all along carried on, from age to age, in the Church, and is uniformly spoken of as the one great object of his providence and grace!
