When the churches have rest they shall be edified, and confirmed, and comforted, and shall resolve to be as firm to their God as other nations are to theirs, though they be no gods. Where we find the foregoing promises, Isa. ii.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Note, Peace is a blessing indeed when it strengthens our resolutions to cleave to the Lord. How constant other nations were to their gods: All people will walk every one in the name of his god, will own their god and cleave to him, will worship their god and serve him, will depend upon him and put confidence in him.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
