Commentaries on Isaiah 43:14
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14The Chaldeans, whose cry is on the ships "The Chaldeans exulting in their ships" - Babylon was very advantageously situated both in respect to commerce, and as a naval power.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14Thus saith the Lord your Redeemer - This verse commences another argument for the safety of his people.

This implies that God had command…Read the comment
