Commentary on Isaiah 6:12

Theological / Devotional

Removed men far away. This refers to the coming captivity. First by Assyria in Isaiah’s day, and then by Babylon a century later, the people would be carried away into foreign lands. This had been foretold by Moses, conditionally, before Israel ever entered the Promised Land (Lev. 26:33; Deut. 4:26-28 ; 28:64).

A great forsaking. The land God had intended to blossom as a rose would become waste, and would be forsaken of its inhabitants. Instead of prosperity there would be ruin.
