That he may bmake peace with Me;
And he shall make peace with Me.”
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.
Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?
You contended with it.
bHe removes it by His rough wind
In the day of the east wind.
And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar
Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
1Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.
The women come and set them on fire.
For ait is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will bnot have mercy on them,
And cHe who formed them will show them no favor.

Isaiah 27:7
Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote them? - Has God punished his people in the same manner and to the same extent as he has their enemies? It is implied by this question that he had not. He had indeed punished them for their sins, but he had I not destroyed them. Their enemies he had utterly destroyed.
According to the slaughter of those that are slain by him - Hebrew, ' According to the slaying of his slain.' That is, not as our translation would seem to imply, that their enemies had been slain "BY" them; but that they were ' their slain,' inasmuch as they had been slain on their account, or to promote their release and return to their own land. It was not true that their enemies had been slain "by" them; but it was true that they had been slain on their account, or in order to secure their return to their own country.
