Isaiah60:14

14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee, shall come bending unto thee, and all they that despise thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, the Zion of the holy One of Israel.

Either their posterity acknowledging their Fathers sins in afflicting thee, or themselves, for it is the manner of the Hebrews to put the Sons of a thing for the thing its self.

Humbling themselves, as penitents, this being a sign of Reverence, and respect, and that either for love, or fear, submit to the yoke of Christ, they shall be like Christ, of an humble, and meek Spirit, and the degree of this is mentioned in the next clause.

This notes that great degree of Submission that eve[illegible: 1+ letters] despisers, and enemies shall yield to the Church prostrating themselves as humble suppliants. See, Chap. 49. 23. or rather to Christ the head, King, and Husband of the Church.

They shall give her that honourable title, or acknowledge her to be so, and so called both from the Love that God had for her, and from the Temple of God that was in her.

Marginal references: Chap. 45. 14. & 49. 23.; Rev. 3. 9.
