isaiah 51:14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

isaiah 51:14 "The exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, nor will his bread be lacking.

14. captive exile--literally, one bowed down as a captive (Isa 10:4) [MAURER]. The scene is primarily Babylon, and the time near the close of the captivity. Secondarily, and antitypically, the mystical Babylon, the last enemy of Israel and the Church, in which they have long suffered, but from which they are to be gloriously delivered.
pit--such as were many of the ancient dungeons (compare Jer 38:6, 11, 13; Ge 37:20).
nor . . . bread . . . fail-- (Isa 33:16; Jer 37:21).

isaiah 51:14 "The exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, nor will his bread be lacking.
