Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 3. And gathered them out of the lands ] Though many Jews returned into Jerusalem from various parts of the world, under the reigns of Darius Hystaspes, Artaxerxes, and Alexander the Great; yet this prophecy has its completion only under the Gospel, when all the ends of the earth hear the salvation of God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - In these verses there is reference to the deliverance from Egypt, an perhaps that from Babylon: but the circumstances of travellers in thos countries are also noted. It is scarcely possible to conceive the horrors suffered by the hapless traveller, when crossing the trackles sands, exposed to the burning rays of the sum. The words describe their case whom the Lord has redeemed from the bondage of Satan; who pas through the world as a dangerous and dreary wilderness, often ready to faint through troubles, fears, and temptations. Those who hunger an thirst after righteousness, after God, and communion with him, shall be filled with the goodness of his house, both in grace and glory.
