Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

(31)A remnant. — Isaiah’s favourite doctrine of the remnant (Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 10:20).

They that escape. — A survival.

Out of Jerusalem. — The ravaged land was to be newly stocked from thence.

The zeal (jealousy) of the Lord of hosts shall do this. — Another of the phrases of Isaiah. (See Isaiah 10:7.) (The word hosts, wanting in the common Hebrew text, is found in many MSS., and all the versions).
