Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Ye have sold yourselves for nought; rather, for nought were ye sold. God received nothing when he allowed his people to become the slaves of the Babylonians. He took no price for them (see Isaiah 50:1), and therefore is free to claim them back without payment (comp. Isaiah 45:13). He has but to say the word; and he is about to say it.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Ye have sold yourselves . . .--Literally, ye were sold. The people had complained that Jehovah had "sold them" into the hands of their enemies (Psalm 44:12). "Not so," is the answer. "There was no real sale, only a temporary transfer, and therefore Jehovah can redeem you at His own pleasure. A comparison with Isaiah 43:3, shows how spiritual truths may present aspects that require the most opposite illustrations.
