Isaiah 47:6

Isa 47:6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.

Ver. 6. I was wroth. ] See on Zechariah 1:15 .

I have polluted mine inheritance. ] God is his people’s inheritance, and they are his; but now, for their sins, he had dealt with them as with a profane and unclean thing.

Thou didst show them no mercy. ] Heb., Thou didst set them no bowels. Cruelty cries for vengeance. See Jeremiah 50:17 ; Jeremiah 51:24 .

Upon the ancient. ] Who should have been borne with for their age and weakness.
