Isaiah 58:12
_ _ they ... of thee — thy people, the Israelites.
_ _ old waste places — the old ruins of Jerusalem (Isaiah 61:4; Ezekiel 36:33-36).
_ _ foundations of many generations — that is, the buildings which had lain in ruins, even to their foundations, for many ages; called in the parallel passage (Isaiah 61:4), “the former desolations”; and in the preceding clause here, “the old waste places.” The literal and spiritual restoration of Israel is meant, which shall produce like blessed results on the Gentile world (Amos 9:11, Amos 9:12; Acts 15:16, Acts 15:17).
_ _ be called — appropriately: the name truly designating what thou shalt do.
_ _ breach — the calamity wherewith God visited Israel for their sin (Isaiah 30:26; 1 Chronicles 15:13).
_ _ paths to dwell in — not that the paths were to be dwelt in, but the paths leading to their dwellings were to be restored; “paths, so as to dwell in the land” [Maurer]. |
Isaiah 58:12
They shall be of thee — Thy posterity. Waste places — Cities which have lain long waste; that shall continue for many generations to come. The breach — Breach is put for breaches, which was made by God's judgment breaking in upon them in suffering the walls of their towns and cities to be demolished. Paths — Those paths that led from city to city, which being now laid desolate, and uninhabited, were grown over with grass, and weeds. To dwell in — These accommodations being recovered, their ancient cities might be fit to be re — inhabited. |
Isaiah 58:12
And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old (n) waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
(n) Signifying that of the Jews would come such as would build again the ruins of Jerusalem and Judea: but chiefly this is meant of the spiritual Jerusalem, whose builders were the Apostles. |
