A church father on this verse
“Remember the compassion of God, how he heals with olive oil and wine. Do not despair of salvation. Recall the memory of what has been written, how he that falls rises again, and he that is turned away turns again, he that has been smitten is healed, he that is caught by wild beasts escapes, and he that confesses is no…”

In context

2The city is filled with shouting men: thy slain are not slain with swords, nor are thy dead those who have died in battle.

3All thy princes have fled, and thy captives are tightly bound, and the mighty men in thee have fled far away.

— Isaiah 22:4 —

5For it is a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and there is perplexity sent from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the Valley of Zion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains.

6And the Elamites took their quivers, and there were men mounted on horses, and there was a gathering for battle.
