Commentary on Isaiah 51:18

Theological / Devotional

None to guide her. Jerusalem’s sons have fallen in battle (ch. 49:20, 21), and she finds herself a forlorn exile (see on ch. 49:21). She has had many children, but none of them is now present to help her. In her time of greatest need she finds herself utterly forsaken. If relief is to be provided it must come from God.
