Vers. 4. Our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the holy one of Israel.
1The Prophet shows to what end God would take vengeance upon the Chaldeans, even in regard of the peoples salvation, as he said in Chap. 45.4. But this sentence hath much greater force in it, in regard it comes in abruptly, and as one wakening himself out of a dream when he saw Babylon ruinated, which before made it her trade to subdue and tread other nations under her feet. And he shows that this shall come to pass for none other cause, but to the end the Lord may manifest himself to be the redeemer and avenger of his people.
