But to the land whereunto they desire to return, etc.] Or, “lift up their soul to return”f461: either by making supplication to God, for it, (<192501>Psalm 25:1); or buoying up themselves with vain hopes, founded upon the declarations of the false prophets, that they should return; and to which no doubt they had a natural desire, and comforted themselves with the hopes of it; but all in vain: thither shall they not return; for they were to die, as before predicted, in another country, as they did, and never saw their own any more.
