return--for heathen sin and idolatry are an apostasy from primitive truth.
heal--as described (Isa 19:18-20). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And the Lord shall smite Egypt - That is, in the manner described in the previous part of this prophecy Isa 19:2-10.
And heal it - Or restore it to more than its former splendor and prosperity, as described in the previous verses Isa 19:18-20. He shall send it a saviour; he shall open new sources of prosperity; and he shall cause the true religion to flourish there. These advantages would be more than a compensation for all the calamities that he would bring upon it.
And they shall return ... - These calamities shall be the means of their conversion to Yahweh. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Smite - God will afflict them and by those afflictions will convert and save them. |
