This curious metaphor, expressive of restoration, is used again in a similar way in Nehemiah 4:1, "a bandage was applied to the walls of Jerusalem."

Nehemiah 4:7 (Authorized Version, "The walls were made up;" Revised Version better, The repairing of the walls went forward); Isaiah 58:8; Jeremiah 8:22; Jeremiah 30:17; Jeremiah 33:6; in each of which four instances, in both Authorized Version and Revised Version, the literal rendering "health" or "healing" is found.
