Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 1:26

26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first , and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called , The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

I will give thee such Princes and Magistrates.

Heb. As thou hadst in the beginning, either, 1. of thy Commonwealth; such as Moses, and Ioshua: or, 2. of thy Kingdom, such as David.

Thy Princes shall have and hearken to wise and faithful Counsellors, which is a singular Blessing to a Prince and People.

To wit, justly and truly; thou shalt be such: for, to be called is oft put for to be, as Isa. 4. 3. & 61. 6. Mat. 5. 9.
