Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - They that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places. Thy descendants shall restore all that has fallen into decay in Israel, whether it be cities or customs. They shall restore "breaches" of every kind, and bring back the old paths for thee to walk in. The restoration of the ruined cities of Judah may be glanced at, but is far from exhausting the writer's meaning (comp. Isaiah 61:4).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) Shall build the old waste places.--The prophet contemplates primarily the restoration of the public and private buildings of Jerusalem, but the words have obviously a wider spiritual application.The foundations of many generations--i.e., those that had been lying in ruins, with no superstructure, for even a longer period than the seventy years of exile.Thou shalt be called . . .--This was to be the special work, and was to constitute the enduring fame, of the new Israel.Paths to dwell in--i.e., the streets of the city shall be once more flanked with houses on either side, and not merely roads from one point to another.
