And it shall come to pass, [that] as ye were a curse among the heathen, etc.] Reproached, vilified, and called accursed by them; (see <242409> Jeremiah 24:9) as true Christians, and real believers in Christ, are by the men of this world, (<460412>1 Corinthians 4:12,13): O house of Judah, and house of Israel; both being carried captive at different times, and were typical of the true and Spiritual Israel of God: so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing; be blessed in themselves with the above blessings of plenty and prosperity in outward things; (see <370219> Haggai 2:19) and a blessing to others, and blessed by them; and all those who are saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation are blessed with all spiritual blessings in him: fear not; neither their enemies, nor the accomplishment of these promises: [but] let your hands be strong; as in (<380809>Zechariah 8:9).
