Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 17:7

"In that day shall men look unto their Maker, and their eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel." — Isaiah 17:7 (ASV)

At that day shall a man look to his Maker. —The words are words of warning hardly less than of promise. There is to be a return to the true faith of Israel, but that return will be brought about by a bitter experience of the results of idolatry. The eyes of men will turn in that hour of their calamity to the Holy One of Israel.
