From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Assemble yourselves, and come -This, like the passage inIsaiah 41:1ff, is a solemn appeal to the worshippers of idols, to come and produce the evidences of their being endowed with omniscience, and with almighty power, and of their having claims to the homage of their worshippers. Ye that are escaped of the nations -This phrase has been very variously interpreted.
