I say to Jerusalem: you shall be inhabited, and to the cities of Judah: you shall be rebuilt, and its desolate places I will restore. LXX: And I establish the word of my son, and I approve the true counsel of the Angels. I say to Jerusalem, you will be inhabited: and to the cities of Judah: you will be built, and its desolate places will be restored. And furthermore, the word of the boy, or his servant, about whom we spoke earlier, and the advice of his messengers, will accomplish these things: namely, the Apostles and all the teachers, who will proclaim the will of their master to the nations. Therefore, he himself, who will accomplish such great things, whose power I have described in a few words, also says to Jerusalem, which will be destroyed by the Babylonians, before it is destroyed, that it will be inhabited again by the people, and to the cities of Judea, that they will be restored, and he will raise up its desolations, so that all may be filled with cultivators.<br/><i>— Commentary on Isaiah</i></p><p><b>Theodoret of Cyrus</b>: Here he calls \"servant\" the very prophet who is exercising the ministry of these words. \"And verifying the counsel of his messengers.\" Not only of this messenger, he says, but also that of all the others who transmit the divine word. Thus, it is not without forethought that he has made this declaration here but to give force to what is going to be said, for he prophesies in the next passage the royalty of Cyrus, who was the first to reign over the Persians, and the return of the people, the reconstruction of Jerusalem and the total defeat of Babylon. This is why he has prefaced it with \"And confirming the word of his servant.\" \"Who says to Jerusalem, you shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Judea, you shall be built, and its desert places shall spring forth.\" The text has shown the tremendous power of the Creator: I only have to speak, he says, and my will is accomplished; for it is by a word that I likewise effected the creation.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 14:44.26</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"73ea446061d325ef55270c9034c25dbd08feee7dd90c571c991ee34ff14b13e2","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":7491,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"58a70fcd82effa89d0c48341ff82bab8b7e43cd15b5d4611d344b49f175eb18b","translator":null,"work":null}
