Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 60:18

Theological / Devotional

Violence. The thought of v. 17 is continued. Instead of oppression, brutality, and strife (see ch. 59:3—15), principles of brotherly love, benevolence, and mutual consideration would rule.

Thy walls Salvation. The presence and blessing of God will be Jerusalem’s best walls and bulwarks (see Zech. 2:5), and acclamations of praise and thanksgiving will replace gates and bars. See Isa. 26:1-3.
