Isaiah 1:27 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Zion, the Jews that live in or near Zion, and worship God in Zion, shall be redeemed, shall be delivered from all their enemies and calamities, with judgment; or, by judgment, i.e. by God's righteous judgment, purging out those wicked and incorrigible Jews, who by their sins hindered the deliverance of the people, and punishing and destroying their unmerciful enemies, who kept them in cruel bondage, as he did to the Babylonians, whereby he made the way open for their deliverance. Her converts, Heb. her returners, those of them who shall come out of captivity into their own land, with righteousness; or, by righteousness, i.e. either by my faithfulness, in keeping my promise of delivering them after seventy years; or by my goodness; for both these come under the name of righteousness in Scripture use.

Isaiah 1:27

27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
