In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
Ver. 5. For a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty.] So he was to Judah - called here the "residue of his people" - during Hezekiah's days; a crown unfading, or a garland made of amaranth, as 1Pe 1:4 which is, saith Clement, a certain flower that being hung up in the house, yet is still fresh and green. And as God is thus to his people, so, interchangeably, are they to him "a crown of glory," Isa 62:3 and "a royal diadem," (ib.); his "throne of glory"; Jer 4:21 "The beauty of his ornament." Eze 7:20
