John Trapp on Isaiah 43:14

Ver. 14. Thus ſaith the Lord your Redeemer] For their greater comfort and confirmation, the Prophet purpoſely premiſeth, to the promiſe of deliverance from Babylon, theſe ſweet Attributes of God: Each of them dropping Myrrh, and Mercy.

For your ſakes I have ſent to Babylon and have brought down] Or, I will ſend— and I will bring down.

All their Nobles] Heb. bars, Pſal. 147.13. Bars Noble men ſhould be, to keep out evils, and to ſecure Saints: Eut theſe were croſſe-bars, &c.

Whoſe cry is in the ſhips] Or, whoſe out-cry is to the ſhips: whereby they thought to ſave themſelves but could not, becauſe Cyrus had drained and dried up their river Euphrates. Tremellius rendereth it The Chaldees with their moſt famous ſhips.
