Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 54:4

Theological / Devotional

Shame of thy youth. Jehovah brought Israel out of Egypt to become His bride, but she had played the harlot by serving other gods (Jer. 3:1-11; Eze. 16:8-16; Hosea 2:5-13). This was her disgrace and shame. Her ugly past would be given and forgotten, and she would be restored to the privileges and honor originally promised her (see pp. 28-32).

Thy widowhood. This alludes to the captivity in Babylon, when because of infidelity to her Husband Israel was permitted to go into exile (Lam. 1:1; 2:5, 6; cf. Hosea 2:6-13).
