Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 54:12

_ _ windows — rather, “battlements”; literally, “suns”; applied to battlements from their radiated appearance.

_ _ agates — rather, “rubies.”

_ _ carbuncles — literally, “sparkling gems”; the carbuncle when held to the sun becomes like a burning coal.

_ _ all thy borders — rather, “thy whole circuit,” consisting of precious stones. The glory of the Church on earth, when the Hebrew Church, according to the original design, shall be the metropolis of Christendom.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 54:11-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 54:12

Agates — The proper signification of the Hebrew names of precious stones is unknown to the Jews themselves. It may suffice us to know that this was some very clear and transparent, and precious stone. Thy borders — The utmost parts or walls.
