פירוש על ישעיהו 17:7

shall turn Heb. יִשְׁעֶה, shall turn to his Maker. Comp. (Gen. 4:4) “And the Lord turned (וַיִּשַׁע) to Abel.”

ישעה האדם על עשהו Shall a man look to his maker. Man will renounce his own powers, because of the Lord, and this is the true confidence in God (comp. 2 Sam. 22:42).¹¹It is remarkable that I. E. makes a similar remark on all passages where the verb שעה occurs, (comp. 22:4, 31:1, Ex. 5:9), as if he wished to show that they have all the same fundamental meaning, while according to R. Jehudah Hayug this root comprises four meanings. See Two Treatises, etc., ed. John W. Nutt, pp. 97, 113.

man the righteous men remaining among them.

And his eyes shall see, etc. They shall no more see the worship of idols, for they will only visit places sanctified to the worship of the Lord.
