6 Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
6 Return, you Israelites, to the One you have so greatly revolted against.
6 Turn to him from whom people
6 Repent, return, dear Israel, to the One you so cruelly abandoned.
6 Return to Him against whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
6 Though you are such wicked rebels, my people, come and return to the Lord .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 31:6
Commentary on Isaiah 31:6-9
(Read Isaiah 31:6-9)
They have been backsliding children, yet children; let them return, and their backslidings shall be healed, though they have sunk deep into misery, and cannot easily recover. Many make an idol of their silver and gold, and by the love of that are drawn from God; but those who turn to God, will be ready to part with it. Then, when they have cast away their idols, shall the Assyrian fall by the sword of an angel, who strikes more strongly than a mighty man, yet more secretly than a mean man. God can make the stoutest heart to tremble. But if we keep up the fire of holy love and devotion in our hearts and houses, we may depend upon God to protect us and them.
