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. It was open to the Persian Gulf by the Euphrates, which was navigable by large vessels; and being joined to the Tigris above Babylon by the canal called Naharmalca or the Royal River, supplied the city with the produce of the whole country to the north of it, as far as the Euxine and…Read the comment
• 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
