Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 14:1

FOR the LORD will have mercy on Jacob , and will yet chuse Israel, and set them in their own land: and the stranger shall be joyned with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob .

God will pity and deliver his People▪ and therefore will destroy Babylon, which h[illegible: 1+ letters]nders it, and set up Cyrus, who shall promote it.

Will renew his Choice of them; for he had refused and rejected them.

So they did in part at their coming from Babylon, being thereunto moved either by the Favour which the Jews had in the Persian Court, or by the consideration of their wonderful Deliverance, and that exactly in the time designed by their Holy Prophets. But what was then begun, was more fully accomplished at the coming of the Messiah.
