Isaiah60:10

10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

viz. Such as were not Israelites, and he puts Sons of strangers by an usual Hebraism for strangers properly termed alienigenae, see Chap. 56. 3. this was literally fulfilled in repairing the walls of Ierusalem; he spake before of the Temple, now of the City, and Spiritually in the Ministers of the Gospel, who are the walls, and Bullwarks of the Church by Preaching, and writing for her; and Ecclesiastical History affords us many instances of Kings, and Princes that were great Benefactors to her, among whom Constantine did greatly excel, not caring what he bestowed on her, Valentinian and Theodosius, &c.

Shall administer all necessaries to thee; as they had been demolished by the Babylonians, so they were repaired by the favour of Cyrus, Darius Hystaspes, Artaxerxes, &c. All strangers, Ezra 6. 7. &c. or strangers becoming Proselytes, see Chap. 56. 6.

As I afflicted thee in my anger, so out of my compassions I will abundantly bless thee.
