Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 60:12

12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish: yea these nations shall be utterly wasted .

Do offices of kindness so is the word used, Chap. 19. 23. or rather that will not submit to Christ's Scepter.

Heb. Wasting be wasted, viz. By thy sword: accordingly we read of many victories in Iosephus that the Jews obtained, and in the book of the Macchabees as a fulfilling of this Prophecy, but this doth Principally relate to the Spiritual Ierusalem, and this seems to anticipate an objection, If the gates stand continually open, we shall be in danger of enemies; not so, saith he, for they shall all either serve thee, or perish.

y Shall be no more sui juris, but subdued to thee, and as refusing subjection to Christ shall perish everlastingly, as they all perished in the deluge, that were not in the Ark, they that should be saved were added to the Church, Act. 2. 47, and, Rev. 21. 24.
