Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, [saying], Surely God [is] in thee; and [there is] none else, [there is] no God.

Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 45:14

Theological / Devotional

The labour of Egypt. That is, the products of labor, the wealth. God now addresses His own people, in anticipation of their return from captivity (see on v. 13). As vs. 1-12 outline the will of God for Cyrus, so vs. 13-25 constitute a statement of God’s purpose in restoring the Jews to their homeland.

Come over unto thee. Not only were the Jews to be restored to their own land; they were intended to become a great nation, honored by all the other nations of earth. For the role of Israel upon the return from Babylonian captivity, see pp. 29-32; see also Ps. 68:31; 72:10; Isa. 60:1-11.
