Isaiah 52:3 For thus said the LORD, You have sold yourselves for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money. "Ye have sold yourselves for nought." You got nothing by it, nor did I. God considers that when they by sin had sold themselves, He Himself, who had the prior, nay, the sole title to them, did not increase His wealth by the price (Psalm 44:12). They did not so much as pay their debts to Him with it. The Babylonians gave Him no thanks for them, but rather reproached and blasphemed His name upon that account; and therefore they, having so long had you for nothing, shall at last restore you for nothing; you shall be redeemed without price, as was promised (chap. 45:13). ( M. Henry.)
