The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 27:10

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Yet the defensed city shall be desolate. Though her punishment is in mercy, as a chastisement which is to purge away her sin, yet Jerusalem shall for a time be desolate, void, without inhabitant, left like a wilderness.

Forsaken; or, put away; the same word that is used in of Jerusalem. There shall the calf feed. A familiar image of desolation (comp. ; ; , etc.).
