If you look in a good lexicon for Min, you'll find that MiN has as
an exceedingly wide range of meaning, as many prepositions in many
languages do. Whomever Isaiah had in mind (and I don't think it has
anything to do with the exiles), it is perfectly fine, as JIm West
noted, to render this as "because of", i.e., "for the sake of".
