All these. That is, the returning exiles (see ch. 60:4, 5), who, together with Gentile proselytes, would once more rear the walls of Zion (ch. 60:3, 4, 10; see pp. 28, 29).

Clothe thee with them. Zion is represented as covered with her inhabitants like a bride arrayed in her finery. The returning exiles and the proselytes would be to her as an ornament of grace and beauty (see Isa. 62:3; Mal. 3:17).
