From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He shall deliver the island of the innocent -Margin, “the innocent shall deliver the island.” Never was there a more unhappy translation than this; and it is quite clear that our translators had no intelligible idea of the meaning of the passage. What can be meant by “saving the island of the innocent?” The word rendered island (אי'ı̂y) commonly means, indeed, an island, or a maritime country; seeIsaiah 20:6, note. It is, however, used as a “negative” in1 Samuel 4:21, in the name “I-chabod” -אי־כבוד'ı̂y-kâbôd.
