Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 44:26

26. That confirmeth the word of his servant , and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Ierusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited, and to the cities of Iudah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof.

Of his Servants, the Prophets, as appears from the next Clause, which answers to this, where he useth the plural number, his messengers; Isaiah and other Prophets, whom God sent upon this Errand, to foretel the destruction of Babylon, and the redemption of his People.
