He promises to the penitent return from captivity. I have forsaken My house In this phrase, the Hebrew word for "forsaken" is "עָזַב" (azab), which conveys a sense of abandonment or leaving behind. This is a powerful declaration from God, indicating a deliberate withdrawal of His presence and favor. Historically, "My house" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, the central place of worship for the Israelites. The temple was not just a physical structure but symbolized God's dwelling among His people. The forsaking of the temple signifies a profound judgment due to the people's persistent disobedience and idolatry. This abandonment is not permanent but serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God. I have abandoned My inheritance I have given the beloved of My soul into the hands of her enemies I have left.--Better, I have cast away. Into the hand.--Literally, the palm, as given over utterly, unable to resist, and not needing the "grasp" of the whole hand. Verses 7-17. - A separate prophecy. The key to it is in 2 Kings 24:1, 2, where it is related that, after Jehoiakim's rebellion against Nebuchadnezzar, "Jehovah sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it." The prophecy falls into two strophes or sections, Vers. 7-13 and Vers. 14-17. In the first we have a complaint of the desolation produced by the guerilla warfare; in the second, a prediction of the captivity of the hostile peoples, not, however, without a prospect of their return home and conversion to Jehovah. It is evident enough that this passage stands in no connection with what precedes. The whole tone is that of a description of present scenes and not of the future. Sometimes, no doubt, a prophet, in the confidence of faith, represents the future as though it were already past; but there is always something in the context to determine the reference and prevent ambiguity. Here, however, there is nothing to indicate that the description relates to the future; and it is followed by a prediction which presupposes that the preceding passage refers to the literal past. Verse 7. - I have forsaken mine house. The "house" is here not the temple, but the people of Israel, as the parallel clause shows (see Hosea 8:1, and setup. Hebrews 3:6; 1 Timothy 3:15). Jehovah, not the prophet, is evidently the speaker. I have left; rather, I have east away. Into the hand of her enemies. The Hebrew is more expressive: "Into the palm of the hand." Bonomi ('Nineveh and her Palaces,' p. 191) has an engraving from the monuments of guests at a banquet, holding their drinking-vessels in the deeply hollowed palm of their hand. So here the people of Israel, in her weak, fainting state, needs only to be held in the quiet pressure of the palm of the hand. The remark and the illustration are due to Dr. Payne Smith.Parallel Commentaries ...
