Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

A graphic picture is given of the sufferings of those who from distant lands returned to Jerusalem; or, city of habitation--may mean the land of Palestine.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

It is applicable to our condition in this world; we are here as in a wilderness, have here no continuing city, but dwell in tents as strangers and pilgrims. But we are under the guidance of his wise and good providence, and, if we commit ourselves to it, we shall be led in the right way to the city that has foundations.
