Isaiah 60:14 The sons also of them that afflicted you shall come bending to you… 1. He hath built it for the honour of His majesty. 2. It bears His name. 3. He hath fortified it with impregnable walls and bulwarks. 4. He hath beautified it with the graces of His spirit. 5. He hath replenished it with the blessings of His goodness. 6. He hath felicitated it with His gracious presence. 7. It is the city wherein reside the peculiar people of God, who are the beloved of the Lord, on whom His eyes and His heart are continually fixed. 8. He esteems it above all the kingdoms and empires of the world. (R. Macculloch.) 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. |
