ישעיהו מה:ד פירוש: רש״י ואבן עזרא

For the sake of My servant Jacob that you take him out of Babylonian exile.

For Jacob my servant’s sake, etc. All this success is not granted to thee for thine own sake, but for Israel, that thou shouldst send back the captives of Israel and rebuild Jerusalem.

yet you have not known Me You did not do My will, for I said, (infra v. 13) “He shall build My city,” but he when he assumed the throne said, “Whoever among you is from all His people, may ascend.” He gave them permission to go, but he cast off all the trouble from upon his neck.
