    Verse 3. The province - In Judea, now a province under the Persian monarchs. The wall, &c. - The walls and gates continue as Nebuchadnezzar left them; the Jews not being in a condition to rebuild them, nor having commission from the kings of Persia to do so.

    Verse 6. Which I pray, &c. - He refers to all the prayers, which he had for some time been putting up.

    Verse 11. To fear thy name - Those who truly desire to fear his name, shall be graciously accepted of God.
