Isaiah 41:17
_ _ poor and needy — primarily, the exiles in Babylon.
_ _ water — figuratively, refreshment, prosperity after their affliction. The language is so constructed as only very partially to apply to the local and temporary event of the restoration from Babylon; but fully to be realized in the waters of life and of the Spirit, under the Gospel (Isaiah 30:25; Isaiah 44:3; John 7:37-39; John 4:14). God wrought no miracles that we read of, in any wilderness, during the return from Babylon.
_ _ faileth — rather, “is rigid” or parched [Horsley]. |
Isaiah 41:17
