All ye, assemble yourselves— Instead of The Lord hath loved him, &c. we should read, He whom Jehovah loveth, shall do his pleasure, &c. To confirm the faith and hope of the believers in the Jewish church, the prophet here goes on to prove, that the subversion of the Babylonish monarchy by Cyrus, and the deliverance of the Jewish people from captivity in consequence, are the work of God their Saviour, the Angel of the covenant, the Son of God: and it will throw great light on this whole period to consider these as the words and address of that divine Person. The similarity of this passage with the preceding prophesies respecting Cyrus, need not be marked out to the attentive reader.
