Raise; establish and settle. A plant; or plantation, so the word, so the Chaldee paraphrast, and so it best suits new planters as they now were; however, as we read it, it is a promise of honour and fame to their posterity, as in the Maccabees time, and, which is more, it is a promise of the Messiah to be raised for them. With hunger in the land; by barrenness of a land cursed, or by wastes made by enemies, or by long siege, as formerly. The shame of the heathen; who reproached them; cast away, rejected of God, and accursed, so that they were a taunt and proverb among the heathen.
