Verses 4-5
Lift up thine eyes round about
The Gentiles gathered
I.
THE GATHERING OF THE GENTILES TO ZION. From every quarter--from far--from beyond the sea. With all the forces.
II. ZION’S EMOTIONS. She sees and overflows with joy. (R. A. Bertram.)
“Nursed at thy side”
Rather, “on thy side,” i.e carried on the hip, the
Eastern mode of carrying young children (Isaiah 66:12). (Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.)
Church-membership
The Church’s children first be nursed at her side, not sent out to be nursed among strangers. They that would enjoy the dignities and privileges of Christ’s family must submit to the discipline of it. (M. Henry.)
Be the first to react on this!
