Commentary on Isaiah 49:21

Theological / Devotional

Who hath begotten? Zion, thinking herself forsaken and desolate (see on v. 14), is overwhelmed at her latter state (see ch. 54:1).

A captive. In anticipation of the Babylonian captivity, Isaiah looks forward by inspiration and hears captive Israel speak of the experience that was to come to her by “the rivers of Babylon” (Ps. 137:1).
