The particle Chi, is here to be read in its proper signification; to wit, For; because the Prophet gives a reason why the shame of Israel should be taken away: that is, he should have children raised up unto him again, as it were from death to life. In that the Lord calls them the work of his hands; I nothing doubt but he therein meant to express the admirable work of their redemption: for he makes those new men, (as it were) whom he adopt• and joins unto him for his children; as it is said, Psal. 102.19. The people that shall be created, shall praise the Lord: in which place the holy Ghost doth in like manner speak of the restoration of the Church.
