Commentary on Isaiah 6:12
The LORD's sending away of 'men far away' with resulting 'great forsaking in the midst of the land' describes exile's depopulation. This fulfills the prophetic commission (vv. 9-11) that Isaiah's ministry would harden many, resulting in judgment. The phrase 'great forsaking' (Hebrew 'azubah rabbah') depicts massive abandonment—both geographic exile and spiritual desolation. Yet this judgment isn't final; the remnant (v. 13) ensures covenant continuity.
