Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 14:1

"For Jehovah will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the sojourner shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob." — Isaiah 14:1 (ASV)

This promise had a measure of fulfillment when Israel was brought back from Babylon; and it is still true that, when God's people come to their worst, there is always something better before them. On the other hand, it is equally sure that, when sinners come to their best, there is always something terrible awaiting them.

The apostle Paul wrote to the Romans, God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew; and his declaration agrees with this prophecy, The Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land.

I believe that there will be a far grander fulfillment of this prophecy in that day when God will bring back his chosen people to their own country, and then will be the fullness of blessing to the Gentiles also: The strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
