Barnes' Notes
Redeemer - i. e., gā'al . Yahweh is Israel' s next relative, bound by law to avenge him, as well as to ransom him from captivity. It was the Go' el' s duty also to plead his kinsman' s cause. How thoroughly Yahweh will execute this duty for Israel is shown in the Hebrew by the triple repetition of the same word; literally "in pleading He will plead their plea."
The land ... - Rather, "the earth." Babylon has hitherto by its ambition kept the world in unrest: now by its fall men everywhere can dwell in security.
