Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 51:14

_ _ captive exile — literally, one bowed down as a captive (Isaiah 10:4) [Maurer]. The scene is primarily Babylon, and the time near the close of the captivity. Secondarily, and antitypically, the mystical Babylon, the last enemy of Israel and the Church, in which they have long suffered, but from which they are to be gloriously delivered.

_ _ pit — such as were many of the ancient dungeons (compare Jeremiah 38:6, Jeremiah 38:11, Jeremiah 38:13; Genesis 37:20).

_ _ nor ... bread ... fail — (Isaiah 33:16; Jeremiah 37:21).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 51:14

The captive exile (m) hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

(m) He comforts them by the short time of their banishment: for in seventy years they were restored and the greatest empire of the world destroyed.
