Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 60:10

Theological / Devotional

Sons of strangers. That is, Gentiles (see on ch. 56:6).

Build up thy walls. In ancient times city walls afforded protection and represented the strength of the city. Thus, to “build up” the walls of Zion meant to increase the strength of the city. The Gentiles would assist the Jews in the proclamation of the gospel.

I smote thee. A reference to the Babylonian captivity (see on ch. 54:7).
