Verse 10

God called Jerusalem’s friends to rejoice with her at the prospect of her bearing a nation in the future. God would do for Jerusalem what He had done for Sarah and Abraham. He would give her a supernatural birth. Jerusalem’s friends had formerly mourned her condition because God had called her enemies to trample her down (cf. Isaiah 5:5-6; Isaiah 49:19) and because she could not be righteous in herself (cf. Isaiah 57:18; Isaiah 59:9-15 a). Young believed it was only the believing remnant that God would bless, not the whole nation. [Note: Young, 3:525.] This is a typical amillennial interpretation.
