Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

44:9-16 The believer must have times of temptation, affliction, and discouragement; the church must have seasons of persecution. At such times the people of God will be ready to fear that he has cast them off, and that his name and truth will be dishonoured. But they should look above the instruments of their trouble, to God, well knowing that their worst enemies have no power against them, but what is permitted from above.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

11. The Babylonian captivity not necessarily meant. There were others (compare 1Ki 8:46).
