Isaiah 52:4 - Exposition

My people went down … into Egypt … the Assyrian oppressed them . Israel had experienced three captivities. They "went down" voluntarily into Egypt, on invitation, to sojourn, and were there cruelly and unjustly reduced to a servile condition ( Exodus 1:13 , Exodus 1:14 ). They (or a great part of them) were violently carried into captivity by the Assyrian kings, Tiglath-Pileser ( 2 Kings 15:29 ), Sargon ( 2 Kings 17:6 ), and Sennacherib, who, without cause, grievously "oppressed" them. Now they are suffering under a third captivity in Babylonia. What is to be the Divine action under these circumstances?
