Historically, Israel faced numerous oppressors, including the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Babylonians. This prophecy suggests a future time when the descendants of these oppressors will acknowledge Israel's elevated status. This can be seen as a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that nations would be blessed through his descendants (<a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>). It also echoes the theme of divine justice and vindication found throughout the prophetic books.all who reviled you will fall facedown at your feet The act of falling facedown is a sign of deep respect and submission, often associated with worship or acknowledgment of authority. In the ancient Near Eastern context, this gesture was common when approaching a king or deity. This imagery suggests a complete reversal of the scorn and contempt Israel faced from surrounding nations. It reflects the biblical theme of God exalting the humble and humbling the proud (<a href="/1_samuel/2-7.htm">1 Samuel 2:7-8</a>, <a href="/luke/1-52.htm">Luke 1:52</a>).and call you the City of the LORD, This phrase identifies the city, likely Jerusalem, as belonging to the LORD, signifying divine ownership and presence. Jerusalem holds a central place in biblical history as the location of the Temple, the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. This title emphasizes the city's spiritual significance and its role as a focal point for worship and divine revelation. It also points to a future eschatological hope where Jerusalem is recognized universally as God's city (<a href="/revelation/21-2.htm">Revelation 21:2-3</a>).Zion of the Holy One of Israel. Zion is often used synonymously with Jerusalem and represents the spiritual and political heart of Israel. The "Holy One of Israel" is a title for God that underscores His uniqueness, holiness, and covenant relationship with Israel. This phrase reinforces the idea of God's special connection to Zion and His commitment to its restoration and exaltation. It also foreshadows the ultimate fulfillment in the New Jerusalem, where God's presence will dwell eternally with His people (<a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2-3</a>, <a href="/revelation/21-10.htm">Revelation 21:10-11</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/o/oppressors.htm">Oppressors</a> Refers to those who have historically persecuted or subjugated the people of Israel.

It seems better, however, to see in the words an expression of the law of inherited retribution, which entered so largely into the Hebrew's thought of the moral government of the world. That law will show itself in the prostrate homage with which the descendants of the old oppressors will recognise that the restored city is indeed the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/60.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 14. - The sons (i.e. descendants) also of them that afflicted thee; i.e. of the various nations that at different times oppressed and afflicted Israel - as Egyptians, Canaanites, Philistines, Assyrians, Babylonians, Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, etc. Shall come bending unto thee.
