What does Ezra 2:23 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
23. The men of Anathoth--It is pleasant to see so many of this Jewish town returning. It was a city of the Levites; but the people spurned Jeremiah's warning and called forth against themselves one of his severest predictions (Jr 32:27-35). This prophecy was fulfilled in the Assyrian conquest. Anathoth was laid waste and continued a heap of ruins. But the people, having been brought during the captivity to a better state of mind, returned, and their city was rebuilt.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Ezra 2:1-35

An account was kept of the families that came up out of captivity. See how sin lowers a nation, which righteousness would exalt!
