Isaiah14:32
32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation ? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it ,
What shall a Jew say to the People of other Nations, who shall either be sent or come to enquire concerning the State of Zion in that day, when not onely the Philistins, but even the Iews themselves, shall fall by the hands of one and the same Enemy? Nation is put collectively for nations, as gate and city for gates and cities in the foregoing Verse.
They shall give them this answer, That although Zion at present be in a very distressed and deplorable condition, and seems to be forsaken by her Cod, yet she stands upon a firm Foundation, and God who first founded her, will again restore and establish her, and his poor despised People shall resort to her, as to a strong and sure Refuge.
